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.
The Stylus Wheelchair is backed by a limited lifetime warranty on the frame and a one year limited warranty from Pride Mobility. The Pride Stylus Wheelchair has a weight capacity of 250 pounds and is available in seat widths of 16, 18, and 20 with swingaway legrests standard or optional elevating legrests.
