Description
The Drive Medical Viper Plus Reclining Wheelchair with Flip Back Full Arms, 18 Inches, Black is a reliable reclining mobility wheelchair designed to provide enhanced positioning support, comfort, and smooth mobility for individuals who require extended seated care or adjustable reclining functionality. Sitting in a standard wheelchair for long periods may cause discomfort and limited positioning flexibility, especially for users recovering from surgery, managing mobility limitations, or needing additional upper-body support throughout the day. This reclining manual wheelchair features a state-of-the-art hydraulic reclining mechanism that allows smooth positioning adjustments to improve seated comfort and relaxation. Flip-back full arms simplify side transfers while padded armrests provide added support during extended use. Swing-away elevating legrests help improve lower-leg positioning and comfort, while lightweight composite mag-style wheels and urethane tires support smooth maneuverability. Durable flame-retardant nylon upholstery resists mildew and bacteria for dependable long-term use. Adjustable front caster forks and dual axle positioning help improve wheelchair performance and seat height flexibility.
