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.

Transfer Chair

 A Transfer Chair is a simple, armless mobile chair on four swivel casters designed specifically for safe, lateral seated patient transfers. Its core function is to allow caregivers to move patients who cannot stand between surfaces like beds, wheelchairs, toilets, and cars with minimal lifting, thereby preventing caregiver injuries and patient falls. Key features include a low, armless seat for unobstructed sliding, locking casters for stability, and a compact, maneuverable design. It is a fundamental piece of equipment in any safe patient handling program.
