Appendicitis is an infection or inflammation of the appendix, a tube-like structure attached to the cecum (large intestine). The appendix is located in the right lower part of the abdomen in most children. Appendicitis is the most common cause of emergency abdominal surgery in children.
A bariatric wheelchair may be needed in any situation where the weight of a patient makes using a standard wheelchair unsafe or impractical. Most standard wheelchairs have a weight limit of 250 to 300 pounds. Failure to observe the weight limit can cause serious injury if the frame breaks or a part fails. In these cases, a bariatric wheelchair is necessary for the safety of the user.
Our lightweight series ranges in seat width from 14 inches all the way up to 30 inches, and a maximum weight capacity of 550 lbs. You can purchase lightweight folding chairs from the leading wheelchair manufacturer in the country. We provide super lightweight chairs that are easy to fold and store. Light wheelchairs are typically made from aluminum but sometimes from steel or a combination of both metals, which affords their less than standard weight class. Light Wheelchairs in this category generally weigh from 29 â 34 pounds each. We have many wheelchairs to choose from in this range and well below 29 lbs as well within the lightweight category.
