Medline Guardian Reclining Wheelchair, Elevating Leg Rests
Model: Medline Guardian Reclining Wheelchair with Elevating Leg Rests, Black
Availability: Ships from EnhDme — available in 16", 18", and 20" seat widths
A Genuine Range of Rest Positions
Sitting fully upright isn't always the most comfortable option, and a standard wheelchair doesn't give that flexibility. The Medline Guardian Reclining Wheelchair offers infinite position reclining anywhere from 90° to 180°, giving the user a genuine range of comfortable positions throughout the day rather than just one fixed angle.
Elevating leg rests pair with that recline to help reduce swelling and relieve pressure during longer periods of sitting. The durable hammertone frame and black nylon upholstery are easy to clean, and the chair arrives with tool-free assembly for a straightforward setup right out of the box. Available across three seat widths to fit a range of body sizes.

This line offers only one SKU with full-length arms (KR188N11E, at the 18" width) — the other widths are available with desk-length arms only in this lineup. Full-length arms provide more consistent support along the entire forearm, while desk-length arms allow the chair to pull closer to tables and desks. If full-length arm support is a specific requirement at a width other than 18", it's worth checking with Medline for availability outside this particular SKU set.
