FAQs
Q: What's the difference between swing-away footrests and elevating legrests?
A: Swing-away footrests pivot to the side for transfers and support feet at a fixed angle. Elevating legrests lift the lower leg to horizontal, reducing edema and improving circulation — prescribed for post-surgery or venous insufficiency.
Q: Can this wheelchair fit through standard doorways?
A: Yes. All three seat widths (16", 18", 20") have overall open widths of 24", 26", and 28" respectively, easily clearing the 32" minimum for ADA-compliant residential doorways.
Q: How do I clean the vinyl upholstery between patients?
A: Wipe with EPA-registered disinfectant wipes or 1:10 bleach solution, then rinse with damp cloth. Embossed vinyl resists fluid absorption and dries quickly without staining.
Q: Is this wheelchair covered by Medicare or Medicaid?
A: It may qualify under HCPCS code K0002 (standard wheelchair) if prescribed by a physician and deemed medically necessary. Check with your insurance provider for prior authorization requirements and rental vs. purchase coverage.
Q: What's the folded width for vehicle transport?
A: The 18" and 20" seat models fold to 12.5 inches wide, fitting easily into most car trunks and SUV cargo areas. Remove footrests for additional space savings during travel.
