The Drive Medical Hip-High Chair (Model Number 17100-BV) is an ergonomically designed seating solution engineered to reduce hip and knee strain for individuals recovering from hip surgery, managing arthritis, or requiring elevated seating to minimize bending, featuring a sturdy steel frame with a weight capacity of 300 pounds and a generous 18.5-inch wide by 17-inch deep vinyl-upholstered seat positioned at a comfortable 24-inch height—approximately 4 inches higher than standard chairs—for easier sit-to-stand transitions without excessive joint flexion. Its contoured waterfall seat edge promotes proper circulation and reduces pressure behind the knees, while the padded backrest and full-length fixed armrests provide secure upper-body support and leverage during transfers, ensuring stability and confidence in kitchens, dining areas, or living spaces. The easy-to-clean vinyl upholstery resists moisture and wipes down quickly for hygiene maintenance, and the lightweight 16-pound construction with non-marring leg tips allows safe placement on hardwood, tile, or carpet without floor damage. Ideal for post-operative rehabilitation, seniors with limited mobility, or anyone needing a higher seat to protect hip joints during daily activities like meals or crafting, this beige-vinyl chair blends functionality with subtle style to support independence and comfort at home. Backed by Drive Medical’s limited lifetime warranty on the frame and one-year limited warranty on upholstery against defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser when acquired through authorized dealers, this essential seating aid delivers enduring reliability and peace of mind for long-term recovery and daily living.

We’re on a mission to make medical supplies and equipment more affordable and less confusing.
We simply believe that offering a great value to caregivers, seniors, disabled individuals, and those managing chronic conditions or recuperating from surgery or an injury is the right thing to do.

We source our products directly from the manufacturer and ship out every order ourselves, passing along to you the savings we achieve by buying in bulk and not outsourcing fulfillment.

While most “business people” tell us our markup is too low, we disagree. The products we sell help improve quality of life for your loved ones. Instead of focusing on how much profit we can make, we focus on how affordable we can make it for you.

Unlike marketplaces and websites that carry thousands of items, we pool our buying power into a select group of hospital-quality products to deliver unbelievable savings to our customers.
