Wheelchair Basic Steel 18inch with Detachable Arm/Foot Rest

Durable Steel Frame Wheelchair for Hospital, Rehabilitation, and Home Care

The FS903 is a steel-frame, PVC-upholstered wheelchair designed for reliable daily use in hospital wards, rehabilitation centres, frail care facilities, and home care settings. The robust steel frame provides durable support under continuous use in demanding clinical environments, and the 100kg weight capacity covers the large majority of the adult user population. The 18-inch (46cm) seat width provides a comfortable seated position for standard adult body dimensions, and the PVC seat and back surfaces are durable and cleanable — a practical requirement in shared clinical and care environments. Rear push handles allow attendant-assisted propulsion, while the large rear wheels with handrims support self-propulsion for users with adequate upper body strength, making the FS903 suitable for both dependent and partially independent users.

Detachable Armrests, Footrests, and Folding Frame

The detachable armrests and footrests on the FS903 are a clinically significant design feature, allowing transfer to and from the wheelchair — to a bed, toilet, vehicle seat, or examination couch — without requiring the user or carer to negotiate around fixed side components. Detachable armrests reduce lateral transfer distance and injury risk, and are particularly important for users with limited lower limb strength or those undergoing rehabilitation where transfer independence is a goal. The folding X-frame allows the chair to be collapsed quickly for storage in a compact space or loading into a standard passenger vehicle, with packed dimensions of 80×28×91cm and a net weight of 17.9kg. The 50cm overall width is compatible with standard doorway and hospital corridor clearances, making the FS903 practical for indoor use in both residential and clinical environments.

South African Supply for Healthcare, Rehabilitation, and Home Use
