Bariatric wheelchair

Nursing Homes, Dec, 2007

The Invacare 9000 Topaz wheelchair is designed to meet the unique and growing needs of bariatric residents. The Topaz combines the strength and durability of a carbon steel frame with the comfort of heavy-duty front riggings and arms for proper positioning. Dual axle positions allow quick and simple seat-to-floor height variations. The standard chair has a 700-lb weight capacity and a heavy-duty package increases the weight capacity to 1,000 lbs.

The seat and back upholstery are available in nylon or vinyl. The flame-retardant upholstery resists mildew and bacteria, as well as cold-crack and UV damage. The Topaz is available in a variety of seat widths and depths, frame reinforcements that include gusseted sides, caster journals, and dual heavy-duty crossbraces.
