The oldest fossils of multi-cellular animals we've found are over 600 million years old, so it took a little while to get where we are now.

What is bariatric equipment. Simply put it is equipment and supplies that are designed for larger or obese patients. The term bariatric aids, or bariatric equipment, comes from the merging of two Greek words, baros which means weight and iatrics meaning medical treatment. Bariatric Equipment designs cater for the larger person and features increased weight capacities, heavy duty supports and wider widths to fit the persons needs.
The two most important things to look for when shopping for a bariatric wheelchair are weight capacity and seat width. Weight capacity is the maximum weight a wheelchair can safely support. As long as you ensure the user is below the weight rating of the wheelchair youâll be fine.
