Material selection is crucial for comfort, durability, and maintenance. The best material depends on the accessory or wheelchair component: steel frames offer strength and longevity, while lightweight metals or composites aid in portability. For seating, nylon and gel materials provide breathability and pressure relief. For example, the EquaGel Contour Plus Cushions use a proprietary gel for superior support, while the Medline 18" Nylon Seat for Guardian K1/K2 Wheelchair features durable, easy-to-clean nylon. The Medline Basic Transport Chair uses a welded steel frame for stability. There are several material options available, allowing you to choose the one that best suits your comfort and durability needs.
