The Wings Bariatric Wheelchair (manufactured by Medacure) is a professional-grade mobility solution designed for users requiring extra support and a wider seating area. It features a reinforced powder-coated steel frame with a dual-crossbar design, ensuring structural integrity for weight capacities up to 500 lbs. Its most notable clinical feature is the dual axle, which allows the seat height to be adjusted to a “hemi-level,” enabling shorter residents or those who foot-propel to reach the floor easily.
Key Features
Reinforced Stability: The bariatric models (22″ and 24″ widths) utilize a dual-crossbar system to provide maximum strength and eliminate frame flex under heavy loads.
Dual-Axle Height Adjustment: Allows the seat-to-floor height to be lowered for “hemi” positioning, accommodating different resident heights and propulsion styles.
Clinical-Grade Upholstery: Features deluxe padded vinyl upholstery that is flame-retardant, mildew-resistant, and double-embossed for long-lasting durability in high-use environments.
Removable Components: Equipped with detachable padded armrests (desk or full-length) and swing-away elevating leg rests to facilitate safe and easy lateral transfers.
Durable Wheel System: Includes 24″ composite rear mag wheels and 8″ front casters with solid rubber tires. The aluminum front forks are adjustable to three positions for a customized ride.
Easy Maneuvering: Features an integrated “easy-lift” rear bar that assists caregivers in navigating the chair over curbs, bumps, and uneven doorway thresholds.
