Dynarex Bari+Max Heavy-Duty Bariatric Reclining Manual Wheelchair

The Dynarex Bari+Max Bariatric Reclining Wheelchair is a high-capacity positioning mobility solution engineered specifically for larger adults who need dependable physical support, exceptional durability, and pressure-relieving comfort. Built around an extra-reinforced heavy-duty steel frame, this extra-wide bariatric manual wheelchair is designed to accommodate demanding daily use in home healthcare, clinical rehabilitation, and long-term care environments. Featuring an expansive weight capacity of up to 750 lbs on the 26" and 28" models (and 500 lbs on the 24" version), it delivers a stable, robust alternative to standard mobility chairs while eliminating user and caregiver physical strain during daily movement.

Equipped with a smooth reclining high-back mechanism, the backrest allows caregivers to adjust positioning to relieve spinal and sacral pressure, facilitate comfortable resting, and simplify bedside transfers. For targeted circulatory support, the chair features tool-free elevating leg rests with padded calf supports that help reduce lower-extremity edema and alleviate joint stiffness. The heavy-duty, easy-to-clean vinyl upholstery ensures long-lasting hygiene and comfort, while the included headrest extension cradles the neck during extended recline. Integrated rear anti-tippers, rugged composite wheels with solid flat-free tires, and push-to-lock wheel brakes make the Bari+Max reclining wheelchair a secure and dignified everyday mobility aid.
