More Information

Popular with hospitals and long-term care facilities, the Guardian K1 Folding Manual Wheelchairs by Medline provide users with a manual mobility solution that's comfortable and is easy to maneuver. Its powder-coated steel frame delivers dependable durability for long-term performance and functionality. Available in 16-inch, 18-inch, and 20-inch wide seat sizes, these resilient wheelchairs will accommodate users weighing up to 300-pounds. The wheelchairs themselves only weigh 38-pounds and fold in half, making transport and storage simple.

Built on a dual axle, this wheelchair can be adjusted from standard height to a lower hemi height, enabling easier self-propulsion for all users and a better fit for shorter users. Its solid, flat-free tires ensure smooth-rolling mobility, and the seat's nylon upholstery optimizes user comfort. Choose elevating leg rests for users who prefer their legs and feet raised and/or to comply with medical advice, or choose swing-away leg rests for more accessible transfers. The Guardian K1's desk-length arms are conveniently removable for facilitated transfers and to enable up-close sitting at desks and tables.
