Extra Wide Wheelchair

 An Extra Wide Wheelchair is a heavy-duty manual wheelchair designed with a seat width greater than 20 inches to safely and comfortably accommodate bariatric patients or individuals with unique seating needs. Key features include a reinforced wide frame, high weight capacity, wide footrests, and robust components. Its primary use is to provide dignified and stable mobility for patients of size, though its increased dimensions require careful planning for doorway accessibility and make it heavier and less maneuverable than standard chairs. It is a fundamental tool for safe patient handling in bariatric care.
