The Drive Medical Viper Plus Reclining Wheelchair 20 Inches is a durable reclining mobility wheelchair designed to provide enhanced comfort, positioning support, and dependable daily mobility for individuals requiring adjustable seating assistance. Sitting for long periods in a standard wheelchair can create discomfort and limit positioning flexibility, especially for users recovering from surgery, managing mobility challenges, or needing extended seated support throughout the day. This reclining manual wheelchair features a state-of-the-art hydraulic reclining mechanism that allows smooth adjustments up to 180 degrees for improved comfort and pressure management. The adjustable seat depth system easily changes between 16 and 18 inches for personalized seating support, while the flip-back detachable arms simplify transfers in and out of the chair. Swing-away elevating leg rests, lightweight composite mag-style wheels, and urethane tires provide additional comfort, stability, and smooth maneuverability.
