Model: Medline Guardian K1 Wheelchair, 18" Seat, Nylon, Elevating Leg Rests, with 2" Seat Depth Extender (SKU K118EN22E)
Availability: Ships from EnhDme
Extra Depth for a More Complete Fit
A seat that's the right width but too shallow can leave the legs unsupported and increase pressure at the back of the knees. This version of the Medline Guardian K1 Wheelchair includes a 2" seat depth extender, giving taller users or anyone needing extra leg support a more complete, properly supported seating surface without stepping up to a different frame size entirely.
It still carries every core feature of the K1 line — a dual-axle design that's hemi-height adjustable, smooth-rolling solid tires that never need air, swing-back desk-length armrests for closer table access, and elevating leg rests to help relieve pressure and reduce swelling during longer periods of sitting. Comfortable, easy-care nylon upholstery and a durable hammertone-finished frame round out a chair built for consistent daily use.

A seat depth extender addresses a specific fit problem: proper seat depth should support most of the thigh length without pressing into the back of the knee, and a standard 16" depth can leave taller users without that support. This extended version keeps the same 18" width and all other K1 features, adding only the depth accommodation. If the standard 16" depth already fits well, the standard K1186N22E model covers the same features without the added extender.
