Description
F5 Corpus is the front-wheel Permobil. Front-wheel drive climbs thresholds and holds a line outdoors better than a tight mid-wheel, and it gives something up in a very small apartment. Clinics pick it for people who are outside, in rough Canadian pavement, or dealing with a van and a driveway more than a studio hallway.
Corpus seating is configured the same way as on the M3: the invoice follows the functions, not the photo. We quote F5 against M3 when the real question is drive base. Standing or seat elevation, if they are on the current form for this base, are options we list rather than include silently.

The current Permobil order form governs drive options and seating.
Front-wheel chairs are longer. Check the vehicle lift and the turning space in the kitchen, not only the seat width.
A wheelchair has to match the person. Weight capacity includes the rider and anything carried on the chair. Complex rehab chairs should be sized with an occupational therapist or seating clinician. Figures on this page come from the manufacturer’s published materials and can change. The order form for your configuration is the one we follow.
Configured chairs are built after you approve the quote. Once a manufacturer has started a made-to-measure frame, that build usually cannot be cancelled. Boxed retail chairs are different, and we say so on the quote.
