Bariatric Walker (No Wheels) is a reinforced four-point walking frame designed to support patients exceeding the weight limit of standard walkers, typically rated for 400–500 lbs. It provides the same maximum-stability lift-and-step support as a standard walker in a heavier-duty frame built for larger patients.

Bariatric walkers are wider than standard models to accommodate broader patient builds. OxyCare supplies bariatric walkers in adult sizes with height adjustment, and rental is available.
