Drive Medical: Heavy-duty bariatric transport chair
FEATURES
Reinforced Structural Integrity: Features heavy-duty steel frames with dual reinforced cross braces to minimize flex and ensure safe transport over various surfaces. This construction provides exceptional stability for bariatric patients, supporting weight capacities up to 450 lbs depending on the specific model.
Companion-Activated Safety: Designed for caregiver safety, wheel locks are activated by the companion rather than the patient. This feature allows for secure locking and unlocking without requiring the patient to reach down, significantly reducing strain and the risk of injury during transfers.
Durable Clinical Upholstery: Equipped with heavy-duty nylon-reinforced upholstery, the seat and backrest are built to withstand frequent use and rigorous cleaning protocols. The material is resistant to tearing and includes convenient features such as back carry pouches for added utility.
Low-Maintenance Flat-Free Wheels: Utilizes 12-inch flat-free rear wheels to eliminate the risk of punctures and ensure smooth, uninterrupted transport. This design reduces maintenance downtime and enhances reliability in high-traffic clinical settings.
Ergonomic Transfer Support: Includes padded armrests for patient comfort, with removable, reversible desk-length arms to facilitate easy lateral transfers. Swing-away footrests accommodate various leg positions, ensuring easier entry and exit for patients with limited mobility.
Compact Storage Design: The chair folds down to a narrow width, allowing for easy storage in vehicles and tight spaces. This portability is essential for caregivers managing multiple patient transports and navigating confined clinical environments.
