A Very Bari Minute: HD Eclipse Manual Bariatric Wheelchair

Posted on June 16, 2022

Welcome back to A Very Bari Minute!

A series all about bariatrics and the specialized equipment that’s out in the marketplace today! June’s product feature is the HD Eclipse Manual Wheelchair by PDG Mobility! These bariatric wheelchairs are focused on the client’s stability within the wheelchair.

Bariatric clients tend to sit more forward in their wheelchairs, resulting in more weight being distributed on the front of the wheelchair. Having a chair that allows for equal weight distribution allows for a more stable base for the client, which lowers the risk of the chair tipping forward.

Product Highlights

Forward Wheelbase
- The forward wheelbase allows for more weight to be distributed on the rear wheels, making it easier for foot, hand and attendant propulsion.
Adjustable Seat Depth & Back Angle
- They also reduce the load on casters, making it easier for the wheels to reach and improving overall stability.
