The option is a perfect fit for patients who do not have the need for self-propelled wheelchair and can benefit from some of the alternatives. Transport chairs have smaller wheels than typical wheelchairs, which assist in reducing the weight due to the patient not needing to be self-propelled. The chair’s excellent lightweight characteristics increase handling and ease of use for the caregiver assisting the patient.
