    Frame information help

    I have been tasked with finding a new frame for a patient in an extended care home who is not very ambulatory. I am wondering if anyone has any information on a frame from at least 2007. I have searched online but everything I have found is an updated style. It's a Tura mod 515 Lavender Eye 51-18-130. The info I have states it's a metal frame with spring hinges and adjustable nose pads. I have no other information (B, ED) nor do I know what shape it is. The PT realizes that I will not be able to find the exact frame, but I am looking to find one as similar as possible.

    Any help is much appreciated. I would owe you an internet beer!

    I just Googled "Tura mod 515" and came up with about 92,700 results in 0.71 seconds. Try it for yourself.

    Call your Tura rep and make them do their job. I can say from experience that if they are a great rep, they will help you do this.

    The Tura R515 is different than the Tura mod 515. Google and Framesdata were my first two stops. Seeing as I was unsuccessful there I thought I would try here next. Maybe I will try Reddit. Catch less flack for looking for help.

    The B looks to be about 30 mm. I would look at some Charmant Aristar or Titanium frames maybe some Imagewear Wildflower as well. Might find something similar.

    Tura probably has something also
