Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why would a facility choose a 20-inch non-magnetic wheelchair instead of an 18-inch MRI chair?

A 20-inch model gives you more room for patients who need a bit more width or stability but don’t require a full bariatric chair. Many sites use the 20-inch size as their “universal” MRI transport chair because it accommodates a wider range of body types without taking up much more floor space. For outpatient centers with mixed patient populations, it tends to strike the right balance between comfort, safety, and maneuverability.

2. Is this wheelchair fully non-magnetic and safe to bring all the way into the magnet room?

Yes. It’s built from non-metallic, non-magnetic materials, so it can be used safely anywhere from Zone II through Zone IV. There are no hidden steel fasteners or metal hardware that could create risk near the bore. For MRI teams that want a patient chair they never have to “double check” before entering the room, a fully plastic design keeps daily workflow simpler.

3. How does the 20-inch MRI wheelchair hold up to constant cleaning and disinfecting?

The plastic frame handles routine hospital disinfectants well and doesn’t pit, corrode, or loosen the way metal hardware sometimes can. Staff usually appreciate that the chair wipes clean quickly after each use, and the solid rear wheels don’t trap debris. For high-volume imaging centers or facilities with strict infection-control protocols, the maintenance load is very low compared to mixed-material wheelchairs.

4. Can this MRI-safe wheelchair support patients who need extra help transferring?

Within its 220-pound capacity, yes. The wider 20-inch seat offers better lateral support, and the chair’s stability makes assisted transfers easier for both the patient and the technologist. Because the frame is fully non-magnetic, it doesn’t shift or react to the magnet when you’re positioning patients close to the scanner table — something that can happen with metal-frame chairs in certain zones.

5. How does the folding design help with MRI workflow and small suite layouts?

Space is at a premium in many MRI suites, especially older installations. The foldable build lets you store the chair in a control room corner, behind a privacy screen, or along a corridor without blocking equipment traffic. Techs can grab it quickly when patient volume spikes, and because it weighs only about 33 pounds, nearly any staff member can move it without strain.
