FEATURES

K0007 Extra-Heavy-Duty Classification: These wheelchairs are classified under HCPCS code K0007, indicating they are built for extra-heavy-duty use. This classification ensures the chair meets specific durability and weight-bearing standards required for bariatric patients, providing a reliable option for long-term mobility support.

High Weight Capacity Support: Designed to support users weighing between 450 and 600 lbs, these chairs utilize reinforced frames, steel gussets at weight-bearing points, and dual cross bars. This structural integrity ensures safety and stability during daily activities, reducing the risk of frame failure under heavy loads.

Configurable Seating Dimensions: Available in seat widths ranging from 20 to 28 inches and depths of 18 to 20 inches, these chairs accommodate a wide variety of body sizes. Proper fit is critical for pressure relief and posture; our specialists at Tycon Medical can assist with matching specific dimensions to patient needs.

Versatile Leg Rest Options: Users can choose between swing-away footrests for standard mobility and easier transfers, or elevating legrests to facilitate positioning and reduce edema. This versatility enhances user independence and comfort, allowing the chair to be tailored to specific clinical or lifestyle requirements.

Durable Construction Materials: Frames are constructed from heavy-gauge carbon steel or durable slide tube materials with finishes like silver vein to resist corrosion. Components such as reinforced caster journals, precision sealed bearings, and heavy-gauge upholstery are selected for longevity in both home and clinical environments.
