The Panacea Heavy-Duty Wheelchair (Vinyl) is a robust mobility solution specifically engineered for the high-demand environment of long-term care facilities. Manufactured for Direct Supply, it combines a reinforced carbon steel frame with double-embossed, 32 oz. vinyl upholstery that is exceptionally easy to clean. Its dual-axle design offers significant clinical flexibility, allowing staff to adjust the seat height to a “hemi-level” for residents who propel the chair with their feet.
Key Features
Reinforced Carbon Steel Frame: Built with a triple-coated, chip-proof chrome finish and reinforced cross-bracing to safely support users up to 450 lbs.
Dual-Axle Adjustability: The seat height can be lowered from a standard 19.5″ to a hemi-height of 17.5″, facilitating better foot propulsion and accommodating a wider range of resident heights.
Clinical-Grade Vinyl: Features double-embossed, 32 oz. black vinyl upholstery that is non-porous, moisture-resistant, and can be quickly disinfected between uses.
Tool-Free Customization: Comes with the choice of swing-away footrests or elevating legrests, both featuring tool-free length adjustments for rapid patient fitting.
Durable Componentry: Equipped with composite mag-style wheels and urethane tires that require minimal maintenance and provide a smooth, puncture-proof ride.
Convenience & Safety: Includes removable armrests (desk-length or full-length) for easier lateral transfers and a built-in carrying pocket on the backrest for resident personal items.
