The Panacea Reclining Wheelchair (manufactured by Direct Supply) is a clinical-grade mobility solution designed for residents requiring adjustable seating for pressure redistribution, respiratory support, or overall comfort. It features a state-of-the-art hydraulic reclining mechanism that allows for infinite adjustments from a standard upright position to a full 180-degree recline.
The line includes a standard version with breathable nylon and a Heavy-Duty version specifically upholstered in 32 oz. double-embossed vinyl for maximum durability and moisture resistance.
Key Features
Infinite Recline Range: The hydraulic piston system allows the backrest to be adjusted and locked at any angle up to 180°, facilitating easier breathing and pressure relief.
Heavy-Gauge Vinyl Upholstery: The heavy-duty models feature black vinyl that is fluid-proof, antimicrobial, and easy to clean, making it ideal for high-use clinical environments.
Extended Support System: Standard equipment includes a removable headrest extension with an immobilizer pillow and armrest extensions to support the resident’s arms while in a reclined position.
Enhanced Safety Features: To accommodate the shift in center of gravity during recline, the rear wheels are set back on the frame, and the chair includes standard rear anti-tippers.
Elevating Legrests: Includes swing-away elevating legrests with calf pads, critical for managing edema and improving circulatory return in the lower extremities.
Low-Maintenance Components: Built with a chip-proof carbon steel frame and maintenance-free composite mag-style wheels with precision sealed bearings.
