1. Is this non-magnetic folding walker safe to bring into a 1.5T or 3T MRI suite?

Yes—this walker is labeled MR Conditional up to 3 Tesla, so it can be used in MRI Zones II and III and brought into Zone IV under the stated MRI conditions. Because the frame and hardware are non-magnetic, you don’t have to worry about the pull or drift you’d see with a standard aluminum walker. For most facilities, it becomes the “go-to” mobility support device for patients who need stability during MRI prep or transfers.

2. How sturdy is this MRI-rated folding walker for patients who need extra balance support?

Even though it’s lightweight, the walker is solid and supports up to 250 pounds. MRI departments often use it for patients recovering from strokes, surgeries, or those who simply feel unsteady walking into the magnet room. The height adjustment range (32–36 inches) lets you dial in the right fit so patients can put weight through their arms without leaning too far forward or back.

3. How does a non-magnetic MRI walker compare to using a standard walker in an imaging facility?

A standard metal walker cannot be used anywhere near an MRI magnet because even small amounts of ferrous material can become a projectile hazard. This non-magnetic walker solves that problem entirely. It handles like a normal walker, folds quickly for storage, and gives the same level of support—just engineered specifically for MRI environments so you can move patients safely without swapping equipment between zones.

4. Is this walker easy to clean between patients in a busy MRI schedule?

Yes—MRI suites like it because the non-magnetic materials tolerate the disinfectants commonly used in imaging departments. The smooth frame has no deep joints or hidden metal parts that trap moisture or rust over time. Most techs can wipe it down in seconds during room turnover, which keeps workflow moving.

5. What should we check before ordering a made-to-order non-magnetic walker for our MRI department?

Most facilities confirm three things:

• Patient population: The 250-lb weight limit works for the majority of MRI cases; if you handle heavier patients, you may need a reinforced mobility aid.
• Height needs: The adjustable 32–36 inch range covers most adults, but it’s smart to confirm with your clinical staff.
• Storage space: The folding design helps, but make sure you have a dedicated spot in Zone II or III so it’s always available when patients arrive.

Since the walker is made to order and non-returnable except for manufacturer defects, aligning those details ahead of time prevents delays.
