Lightweight Non Magnetic Wheelchair 100 Cm X 65 Cm X 90 Cm Designed for MRI Sensitive Environments Safe

Function: This self-propelled wheelchair allows patients to move themselves within the MRI suite environment, promoting independence and reducing staff burden. The chair is equipped with large rear wheels (24 inches) with push rims made of non-magnetic polymer. Patients can propel themselves using the push rims, which have a textured surface for grip. The chair also includes attendant push handles at the rear for staff assistance when needed. All bearings in the wheel hubs are ceramic, and the axles are made of non-magnetic stainless steel (austenitic grade). The frame is constructed from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer, resulting in an ultra-lightweight chair weighing only 28 pounds – easily lifted by one person. The seat is ergonomically contoured with a 2-inch foam cushion covered in fluid-proof vinyl. The backrest folds down flat, allowing the chair to be stored in small spaces.

Application: This wheelchair is ideal for patients who are ambulatory but tire easily, such as those with chronic fatigue, multiple sclerosis, or cardiac conditions. In the MRI setting, patients can wheel themselves from the changing area to the scanner waiting area, then into the MRI suite. The ability to self-propel reduces the number of staff required for patient transport – a significant advantage in busy MRI departments with limited personnel. The chair is also suitable for pediatric patients who enjoy the independence of moving themselves; the lightweight design allows even a small child to maneuver the chair. For patients undergoing serial MRI studies (e.g., monthly scans for tumor monitoring), having a familiar, self-propelled wheelchair can reduce anxiety and improve cooperation.
