• Swing-away feature makes transfers safer and more convenient for users and caregivers
• Multi-position adjustment accommodates various medical positioning requirements
• Replaces or upgrades standard footrests without purchasing new wheelchair
• Bilateral support for conditions affecting both legs simultaneously
• Reduces lower extremity edema through proper elevation positioning

Usage / Application

Ideal for Drive wheelchair users who require both legs to be elevated—such as after bilateral surgery, with edema affecting both legs, venous insufficiency, heart failure, or for general comfort during extended sitting. Commonly used in home care, rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care settings where both legs need consistent support and elevation. Perfect for users with diabetes, kidney disease, or other conditions causing bilateral lower extremity swelling. Particularly beneficial for post-surgical recovery after bilateral joint replacements, vascular procedures, or other surgeries requiring elevation of both legs. Suitable for users who spend extended periods in wheelchair requiring proper leg positioning to prevent complications. Swing-away design facilitates safe transfers to bed, toilet, chair, or vehicle reducing caregiver burden and user strain.
