What is the Standard Manual Wheelchair (46cm / 18-inch Seat)?

This standard manual wheelchair provides dependable ward and home patient mobility. The silver tubular steel frame supports a black vinyl seat and backrest, fixed-height armrests and detachable swing-away footplates, and a parking brake on each rear wheel secures the chair during transfers. Large spoked rear wheels allow self-propulsion while front castors give smooth steering indoors. Supplied new with protective packaging film. KRIMS Meditech Solutions Limited supplies this wheelchair with delivery, set-up and after-sales support.

What is it used for?

Ward and outpatient patient transport, physiotherapy mobilisation, and short-term home mobility for patients with limited ambulation.
