Standard transport wheelchairs featuring steel or aluminum components frequently suffer from accelerated oxidation and mechanical seizure when exposed to pool chemicals and moisture. This wheelchair eliminates those operational failures by utilizing a 100% rust-proof, healthcare-grade PVC frame, ensuring structural integrity and patient safety in rehabilitative and recreational aquatic settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for seamless institutional integration, this model features swing-away arms and a retractable footrest to facilitate safer lateral patient transfers from standard chairs or lifts. The non-porous polymer construction not only prevents rust but also simplifies infection control protocols, as the surfaces are resistant to biofilm accumulation and compatible with aggressive sanitizing agents. Its lightweight design and high-traction rear wheels provide caregivers with effortless maneuverability on wet, anti-slip pool decks and shower surfaces, making it an essential tool for hospitals, physical therapy centers, and municipal aquatic facilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTotal Corrosion Resistance:\u003c\/b\u003e Manufactured from healthcare-grade PVC that will never rust, chip, or peel, even with daily immersion in chlorinated or salt-water pools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSafe Patient Transfers:\u003c\/b\u003e Features swing-away arms and a sliding footrest to provide unobstructed access for lateral transfers, reducing the risk of skin shear and caregiver strain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh-Traction Stability:\u003c\/b\u003e Equipped with heavy-duty rear wheels and non-marring front casters designed specifically for grip on wet, slippery aquatic surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInfection Control Optimized:\u003c\/b\u003e Non-porous material prevents the growth of mold and mildew, supporting the stringent hygiene standards required in shared clinical environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRetractable Footrest:\u003c\/b\u003e The footrest slides under the seat to prevent tripping hazards during entry and exit while providing ergonomic support during transport.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDurable Mesh Seating:\u003c\/b\u003e Includes a fast-drying, heavy-duty mesh backrest and seat that allows for rapid water drainage and increased airflow for patient comfort.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWeight Capacity:\u003c\/b\u003e 300 lbs (136 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInternal Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 20 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExternal Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 29 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSeat Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 21 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTotal Height:\u003c\/b\u003e 41 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTotal Depth:\u003c\/b\u003e 35 inches (with footrest extended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrame Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Healthcare-grade high-impact PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWheel Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Non-corrosive plastic with high-traction tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExtended Product Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/files\/PAC44.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37579610161321,"sku":"IPU-PAC44","price":1084.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2304\/8155\/products\/pac44.jpg?v=1756413468","url":"https:\/\/rescue-supply.com\/products\/ipu-pool-access-wheelchair-swing-away-arms-and-footrest-for-aquatic-therapy","provider":"Rescue Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
