Guardian K2 Basic Wheelchair - Manual Folding Wheelchair with Elevating Leg Rests, 300 lbs Capacity

Premium Manual Wheelchair for Healthcare Facilities and Home Care

The Guardian K2 Basic Wheelchair delivers exceptional durability and comfort for users in nursing homes, hospitals, assisted living facilities, and home healthcare environments. This professional-grade manual folding wheelchair features a robust hammertone frame finish paired with premium black nylon upholstery, engineered to withstand the demands of frequent daily use while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.

Advanced Comfort and Positioning Features

Designed with user comfort as a priority, this wheelchair includes padded full-length armrests that provide superior support during extended sitting periods. The elevating leg rests offer critical therapeutic benefits by allowing users to extend and raise their leg position, which improves circulation, reduces swelling in the lower extremities, and relieves pressure points—especially beneficial for post-surgical recovery or managing chronic conditions like edema and venous insufficiency.

Dual Axle Hemi-Height Adjustment System

The innovative dual axle hemi-height adjustment feature sets this wheelchair apart by enabling caregivers to lower the seat closer to the ground. This makes self-propulsion significantly easier for users with limited leg strength or shorter stature, while also facilitating safer transfers from low beds, chairs, or vehicles. The adjustable seat-to-floor height of 17.25 inches in hemi configuration provides optimal positioning for foot propulsion and independent mobility.

Comprehensive Safety Features

Safety is paramount in clinical and residential care settings. The Guardian K2 comes fully equipped with a pre-installed seat belt, anti-tippers to prevent backward falls, and brake extenders for easier operation—giving caregivers and family members complete peace of mind. These integrated safety features eliminate the need for aftermarket additions and ensure immediate, secure use right out of the box.
