Product Description

Managing extended care for patients with limited mobility or pressure-related conditions demands a wheelchair that adapts to changing clinical needs. The Drive Medical Viper GT Reclining Wheelchair delivers infinite positioning up to 180 degrees, built-in seat depth adjustment, and 300 lbs weight capacity for bariatric-ready versatility in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and home care environments.

Key Features

  • Hydraulic reclining mechanism enables smooth, infinite position adjustments from upright to fully flat for pressure relief and repositioning.
  • Built-in seat rail extension adjusts depth up to 16" without tools, accommodating patients of varying heights and leg lengths.
  • Offset rear wheel positioning redistributes weight evenly across recline angles, maintaining stability during transitions.
  • Swing-away elevating leg rests with composite footplates support optimal circulation and reduce lower limb edema.
  • Flip-back detachable arms (available in full-length or desk-length styles) facilitate lateral transfers to beds, commodes, and examination tables.
  • Composite mag-style wheels and urethane tires eliminate maintenance needs while delivering smooth propulsion on indoor and outdoor surfaces.

FAQs

Q: What is the difference between Full and Desk armrest styles?

A: Full-length arms extend the entire depth of the seat for maximum forearm support. Desk arms are shorter, allowing users to roll closer to tables and desks for dining or work tasks.

Q: Can the seat depth accommodate shorter or taller patients?

A: Yes. The built-in seat rail extension adjusts depth up to 16" without tools, fitting a range of leg lengths from pediatric to tall adult frames.

Q: How do I adjust the recline angle during transfers?

A: Activate the hydraulic lever located on the right side of the frame. Pull to recline smoothly; release to lock at desired angle. The system supports infinite positions up to 180°.

Q: Are the HCPCS codes eligible for Medicare reimbursement?

A: Codes K0004, E1226, K0195, and E0990 are recognized for billing, but coverage depends on patient diagnosis and documentation. Consult your DME supplier or billing specialist for specific requirements.

Q: What is the weight difference between standard and composite wheels?

A: Composite mag-style wheels weigh approximately 40% less than traditional spoke wheels, reducing overall chair weight and making propulsion easier for attendants and self-propelling users.
