The removable desk arms make it well suited for users who frequently transfer to and from beds, toilets, or car seats, as well as those who need to pull up close to a desk or dining table. The dual axle design accommodates a range of user heights and supports hemi-height positioning for those who use their feet to assist with propulsion. Facilities and DME providers stocking economy wheelchairs for K1\/K2-classified patients will find this lineup straightforward to fit and maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I choose the right seat width — 16\", 18\", or 20\"?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasure the user’s hip width at the widest point while seated, then add approximately 1\" on each side for comfort. A user with 14\" hips fits a 16\" seat; 16\" hips fit an 18\" seat; 18\" hips fit a 20\" seat. Note that the 20\" seat has a higher weight capacity (350 lbs) compared to the 16\" and 18\" seats (300 lbs each). If you are unsure, consult an occupational therapist for a proper seating assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does K1\/K2 classification mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eK1 and K2 are HCPCS functional classification levels used to categorize manual wheelchairs. K1 indicates the user has the ability or potential to use a wheelchair for limited community mobility. K2 indicates the ability for limited community mobility with the ability to traverse some environmental barriers. This wheelchair’s dual axle design supports both classifications. Confirm the appropriate HCPCS code with your clinician or DME supplier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do the removable desk arms work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesk arms are shorter than full-length arms, leaving a gap at the front that allows the user to pull up closer to a desk or table without the armrest getting in the way. On this wheelchair, the desk arms are fully removable — they detach from the frame to allow a completely clear side transfer from a bed, toilet, or car seat. To remove, lift the arm upward and out of the mounting bracket. Reattach by sliding the arm back into the bracket until it locks in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the dual axle design and why does it matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA dual axle wheelchair has two sets of rear wheel mounting positions, allowing the seat-to-floor height to be adjusted between 17.5\" and 19.5\" by moving the rear wheels between axle positions. This accommodates users of different heights and supports hemi-height positioning for those who use their feet to assist with propulsion, making the chair suitable for a wider range of users without requiring a separate hemi-height model.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drive Medical","offers":[{"title":"16\"","offer_id":52553820111157,"sku":"10965S","price":289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18\"","offer_id":52553820143925,"sku":"10965L","price":289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20\"","offer_id":52553820176693,"sku":"10965J","price":289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1443\/4772\/products\/drive-medical-wheelchairs-standard-16-drive-medical-economy-wheelchair-removable-desk-arms-swing-away-footrests-16-to-20-inch-23631756263478.jpg?v=1788641087","url":"https:\/\/www.precisionlabworks.com\/en-ca\/products\/drive-medical-economy-wheelchair-removable-desk-arms-swing-away-footrests-16-to-20-inch","provider":"Precision Lab Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
