Two-Wheeled Walker features front wheels and rear glides or rubber tips, allowing it to be pushed forward smoothly without the full lift required by a standard walker. It suits patients who have difficulty lifting a standard walker with each step but benefit from the added stability of a four-point frame during ambulation.

OxyCare supplies two-wheeled walkers in adult, junior, and bariatric sizes alongside a full range of mobility aids. Rental is available for patients in recovery or with changing mobility needs.
