Description
The Drive Medical Viper Plus Reclining Wheelchair is a reliable reclining manual wheelchair designed to provide comfortable mobility support, adjustable positioning, and enhanced daily convenience for individuals requiring long-term seated care. Traditional wheelchairs may not provide enough reclining flexibility or positioning support for users who spend extended periods seated, making comfort and posture management more difficult throughout the day. This reclining wheelchair features a state-of-the-art hydraulic reclining mechanism that allows smoother positioning adjustments while helping support user comfort during mobility and rest. The durable flame-retardant nylon upholstery resists mildew and bacteria, providing dependable comfort and easier maintenance for everyday use. Its padded flip-back detachable desk armrests simplify transfers and improve accessibility when entering or exiting the wheelchair. Lightweight composite mag-style wheels and urethane rear tires help deliver smoother maneuverability and dependable performance indoors and outdoors. The dual axle system supports easy seat-to-hemi-level adjustments for added flexibility, while swing-away elevating legrests with composite footplates help improve leg positioning and support. Push-to-lock wheel locks add stability during transfers and stationary use.
