About this equipment
A wheelchair is the difference between a patient who leaves the room and one who does not, and that difference shows up in mood and recovery as much as in logistics. The manual folding chair covers most needs: hospital visits, moving between rooms, sitting out of bed for a few hours. The two questions that actually determine which chair is right are whether the user will push themselves or be pushed, and how long they will sit in it at a stretch. Both change the answer, and neither is on a spec sheet.

Also know about
The things that are easy to find out too late.
The cushion is not a pressure cushion
The supplied seat pad is comfort padding. Anyone sitting for several hours a day needs a gel or air pressure-relieving cushion, or they will develop sores on the sitting bones.
Seat width is not 'bigger is better'
Too wide and the user slides and loses posture; too narrow and it rubs. Measure the hips and add about 25 mm.
Pneumatic tyres need pumping
Air-filled tyres roll better and absorb kerbs, but they go soft. Solid tyres are harsher and maintenance-free — worth choosing deliberately.
Kerbs and slopes are where accidents happen
Tipping the chair back at a kerb, or letting go on a slope, is how users get thrown out. The attendant needs showing once, properly.
Safety & clinical information
Device information, not medical advice. Suitability for a particular patient is a decision for the treating clinician.
How it is installed and used
Delivered assembled. The technician sets footrest length and backrest angle to the user's build, checks that the brakes hold on a slope, demonstrates detaching the arm and leg rests for a side transfer from a bed, and shows the attendant how to tilt the chair back to clear a kerb.
Before delivery
Confirm the user's weight is within the rated capacity and that doorways clear 700 mm. Establish whether the user will self-propel or be pushed — it changes which chair is correct. For all-day sitting, add a gel or air seat cushion.
Ongoing care and servicing
Reposition the user and check skin over the sacrum and heels at least every two hours when seated for long periods. Brake holding force should be checked weekly; report any slip immediately rather than compensating for it.
When not to use it
- Body weight above the rated capacity
- Beyond the frame's rating a bariatric chair is required.
- Unsupervised use with poor trunk control and no harness
- A user who cannot hold their trunk upright can slide or tip forward when left alone in a reclined chair.
Possible side effects
- Pressure sores from prolonged sitting
- A supplied cushion is comfort padding, not a pressure-relieving surface. Long sitting periods need a gel or air cushion plus repositioning.
- Postural hypotension on rapid recline change
- Moving the backrest quickly can cause dizziness or fainting. Change the angle gradually.
- Shear injury during transfer
- Dragging rather than lifting across the seat edge tears fragile skin.
Serious risks
Life-threatening, permanently damaging, or requiring hospitalisation.
- Tip-over or fall during a kerb or slope manoeuvre
- Tipping the chair at a kerb, or releasing the brakes on a slope, can throw the user out and cause head injury or fracture.
Regulatory status

Frequently asked questions
Which wheelchair should I choose for an elderly parent?
If they can push themselves, a lightweight self-propelling chair keeps them independent. If they will always be pushed, an attendant chair with attendant brakes is lighter and easier to handle. If they will sit in it for hours, prioritise a pressure-relieving cushion over the frame.
Can I rent a wheelchair for a few weeks?
Yes, and it is the usual choice for post-surgical recovery. Call us for a quote covering your expected period.
How do I know what seat width to order?
Measure across the user's hips while seated and add roughly 25 mm. Too wide is as much of a problem as too narrow — it lets the user slide sideways and lose posture.
