class=\"intro-box\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PVC-MRI Compatible Multi-Purpose Transfer Chair is a 100% non-magnetic, MRI-safe transport chair built from healthcare-grade PVC — providing self-propelled patient mobility and caregiver-assisted transport in MRI suites, imaging departments, hospitals, and long-term care facilities across Canada. It features a cushioned foam seat, dual hand brakes, 24″ plastic rear wheels, and an integrated IV pole attachment for continuous fluid administration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn MRI environments, the equipment you bring into the room is a patient safety issue. Standard transport chairs and wheelchairs contain ferrous metal components that are contraindicated near high-strength magnetic fields — creating projectile risk and interfering with imaging. The PVC-MRI eliminates that concern entirely: its frame, wheels, and hardware are constructed from non-magnetic materials, making it safe to operate in Zone III and Zone IV MRI spaces without removal or substitution mid-transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its core MRI-safety credential, the PVC-MRI is a clinically capable, multi-purpose chair. Its 24″ plastic rear wheels support patient self-propulsion when appropriate, its dual hand brakes give both patient and caregiver secure stopping control, and its integrated IV pole attachment means the chair supports continuous fluid administration without requiring a separate IV stand during transport. Available from Factory Direct Medical, Canada’s trusted source for clinical mobility and institutional care equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"features-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Non-Magnetic MRI-Safe Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eConstructed entirely from healthcare-grade PVC with plastic wheels — no ferrous metal components — ensuring safe operation in MRI suites, imaging rooms, and high magnetic field environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCushioned “Soft Seat” System\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eResilient foam cushioning covered in marine-grade, water-resistant healthcare fabric — providing patient comfort during extended transport and imaging procedures while remaining easy to sanitize.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-Propelled 24″ Rear Wheels\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLarge 24-inch all-plastic rear wheels allow patients to self-propel when clinically appropriate — promoting independence while eliminating any magnetic risk from conventional metal-spoked wheelchair wheels.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Safety Hand Brakes\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHand-operated dual brakes provide secure, reliable stopping for both patient and caregiver — with anti-slip handgrips and reinforced frame stress points engineered for clinical daily use.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated IV Pole Attachment\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eBuilt-in IV pole attachment supports continuous fluid administration during patient transport — eliminating the need for a separate IV stand and streamlining movement through clinical corridors.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFolding Footrest \u0026amp; 5″ Front Casters\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFolding footrest enables safe patient transfers, while 5-inch front casters provide smooth turning and manoeuvrability through tight corridors and doorways in imaging and hospital settings.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMRI-Safe Engineering, Clinical Durability \u0026amp; Patient Comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMRI safety compliance is not a single-component question — it requires that every element of the chair be free of ferromagnetic material. The PVC-MRI is designed from the ground up for this requirement: the frame is healthcare-grade PVC, the rear wheels are 24-inch all-plastic, the front casters are plastic, and all hardware components are selected for non-magnetic properties. This makes the chair genuinely safe for transport into MRI Zone III and Zone IV environments, not simply “lower risk” than a standard transport chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clinical durability profile of the PVC frame also solves a second challenge in imaging and hospital settings: hygiene. PVC is non-porous, rust-proof, and corrosion-resistant, withstanding repeated disinfection with hospital-grade cleaners without frame degradation over time. The marine-grade seat fabric is water-resistant and easy to wipe clean between patients. For facilities managing high patient throughput, this combination of MRI compliance and infection control durability reduces the total cost of ownership compared to metal-framed alternatives that corrode in high-cleaning-frequency environments. Verify weight capacity and clinical suitability against the specifications before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel
