This manual wheelchair features a durable powder-coated silver vein steel frame that delivers dependable daily performance while maintaining an attractive appearance. The removable padded desk arms improve accessibility during transfers and allow easier positioning at tables or desks. Swing-away elevating legrests with tool-free adjustable front riggings help support proper leg positioning and added comfort throughout the day. Durable embossed vinyl upholstery is lightweight, easy to clean, and designed for long-lasting use. Composite wheels with urethane tires provide smooth mobility with low maintenance requirements, while 8-inch front casters support dependable maneuverability indoors and outdoors. Push-to-lock brakes enhance safety during transfers, and the convenient carry pocket on the backrest allows users to store personal belongings easily.
