Begin with the equipment recommended for you
Walkers, rollators, transport chairs, wheelchairs and scooters have different configurations. Start with the type and model recommended by your care team. A catalog comparison helps you identify that model; it does not determine which mobility device is appropriate for you.
Record the exact model and any prescribed seat, footrest, handle or support configuration. When requesting a replacement, use the manufacturer reference from your existing equipment where available.
Keep each measurement in context
A seat width, overall width, wheel diameter and user-height range describe different aspects of equipment. The catalog includes a 19-inch transport chair, a 16-inch wheelchair configuration and rollators identified by wheel size. Do not compare these numbers as though they measure the same part.
Ask for the manufacturer’s full dimensions, adjustment range and stated capacity. Your care team can advise on fit. Before delivery, discuss the space where the equipment will be used, relevant doorway dimensions and any assembly or setup support needed.
Distinguish equipment from an accessory
Walker glide skis and wheelchair cushions are separate accessory listings. A photo containing a chair or walker does not necessarily mean the complete device is supplied. Match accessory dimensions and attachment requirements to the existing equipment.
For example, the listed Roscoe foam cushion measures 18 × 16 × 3 inches. That description identifies a cushion, not a wheelchair. The listed Lumex one-inch glide skis likewise require confirmation against the walker legs.
- Exact equipment model and prescribed configuration
- Seat, overall and folded dimensions where relevant
- Included footrests, handles, charging equipment or other parts
- Separate accessories, delivery and setup arrangements
Confirm the equipment request
Ask Medrax about current availability, required documentation and expected patient costs. Clarify whether an equipment arrangement is a purchase or rental and who will handle fitting or setup questions before accepting delivery.
