Viper Plus GT Wheelchair: Personalized Comfort and Versatile Support
The Viper Plus GT wheelchair from Drive Medical gives users and caregivers a highly adjustable manual wheelchair without adding unnecessary complexity. Its universal armrests change between desk-length, half-length, and full-length positions at the push of a button, while the arm height adjusts from 8.5 to 11.5 inches for a more personalized fit.
Built-in seat rail extensions let the 16, 18, and 20-inch seat-width models expand from a 16-inch to an 18-inch seat depth. An adjustable 5 to 20-degree back angle, 17 to 19-inch back height, dual-axle positioning, and three-position caster forks make the Drive Viper Plus GT especially adaptable for individual seating needs.
Why Choose the Viper Plus GT Wheelchair?
The Viper Plus GT combines meaningful fit adjustments with a lightweight, all-aluminum frame, making it a practical choice for users who want more customization than a standard manual wheelchair provides. Shoppers prioritizing portability can also compare our selection of lightweight wheelchairs.
