Future Mobility, Orion II 500 Bariatric Tilt-in-Space Wheelchair, 500 lb Capacity

Description

Future Mobility Orion II 500 heavy-duty tilt-in-space wheelchair

The Orion II 500 is a heavy-duty manual tilt wheelchair designed for people who weigh 250–500 lb. Tilting the whole seat back – while keeping hip and knee angles the same – lets the user shift their weight for comfort and pressure relief, and makes repositioning easier and safer for the caregiver.

It’s one of the most widely used heavy-duty tilt chairs in the bariatric market, built on a steel frame and sized from 24″ to 32″ wide so it can be fitted to the person who uses it. Designed and made in Canada by Future Mobility.
