Can I finance my purchase?
CareCredit
At Dahl Medical Supply, we understand that medical equipment is an important investment in your health and comfort. That’s why we accept CareCredit, a healthcare financing option designed to make your purchase more affordable.
What is CareCredit?
CareCredit is a health and wellness credit card that allows you to pay for medical equipment and supplies over time, instead of all at once. With flexible financing options—including short-term, no-interest plans (when paid in full within the promotional period) and longer-term plans with fixed monthly payments—CareCredit helps you get the equipment you need without delaying care.
How Can You Use CareCredit at Dahl Medical Supply?
- Eligible Purchases: Use CareCredit to pay for a wide range of medical equipment, including lift chairs, scooters, power chairs, hospital beds, and more.
- Flexible Financing: Choose a payment plan that fits your budget, whether you prefer short-term no-interest options or extended payment plans.
- Easy Process: Simply present your CareCredit card at checkout in our Burnsville store, and our team will help you apply it to your purchase.
- Quick Approvals: If you don’t have CareCredit yet, you can apply online or in-store and receive an instant decision.
At Dahl Medical Supply, our goal is to make quality medical equipment accessible and affordable. With CareCredit, you don’t have to wait—get the comfort, mobility, and independence you deserve today, and pay for it over time.
What is a standard wheelchair?
A standard wheelchair is the most common type of wheelchair, designed to provide safe, reliable mobility for everyday use. It typically features a sturdy steel or aluminum frame, large rear wheels that allow the user to self-propel, and smaller front casters for steering. Standard wheelchairs usually fold for easy transport and storage, and they come with armrests, footrests (swing-away or elevating), and a basic padded seat and back.
Key points about a standard wheelchair:
- Weight capacity usually around 250–300 lbs
- Seat widths commonly 16", 18", or 20"
- Designed for short- to medium-term use (not ultra-light or specialized)
- Affordable, durable, and versatile for daily mobility needs
A standard wheelchair is ideal for individuals who need dependable mobility support at home, in medical settings, or for outings, but who may not require the lighter weight or advanced features of a transport or ultra-light wheelchair.
What is a standard reclining wheelchair?
A standard reclining wheelchair is a wheelchair designed with a backrest that can recline beyond the typical upright position, allowing the user to lean back at varying angles for greater comfort and support. Unlike a standard wheelchair that maintains a fixed back angle, a reclining wheelchair uses a specialized frame and hydraulic or mechanical system to safely tilt the backrest while keeping the seat stable.
Key Features of a Standard Reclining Wheelchair:
- Reclining Backrest: Adjusts from upright to nearly flat, offering multiple positions.
- Elevating Leg Rests: Often included to support the legs when reclined, improving circulation and comfort.
- Extended Headrest & Support: Provides additional stability for users who need neck and upper body support.
- Durable Frame: Built for daily use, with reinforced construction to handle the added stress of reclining.
- Folding Design: Most models can fold for transport and storage, similar to standard wheelchairs.
Benefits:
- Helps reduce pressure sores by redistributing weight.
- Provides comfort for users who spend extended time in a wheelchair.
- Assists caregivers with repositioning for hygiene, medical care, or rest.
- Supports individuals with limited upper body strength, poor trunk control, or specific medical conditions requiring frequent position changes.
A standard reclining wheelchair is ideal for users who need more than basic mobility—it offers added comfort, positioning options, and medical benefits compared to a traditional wheelchair.
What is a transport wheelchair?
A transport wheelchair (sometimes called a companion chair) is a lightweight wheelchair designed to be pushed by a caregiver rather than self-propelled by the user. Unlike a standard wheelchair, which has large rear wheels for the user to push, a transport chair has four smaller wheels that make it lighter, more compact, and easier to maneuver in tight spaces.
Key Features of a Transport Wheelchair:
- Lightweight Frame: Usually made of aluminum or steel, often weighing under 20–25 lbs.
- Small Rear Wheels: Typically 8–12 inches, requiring a caregiver to push.
- Folding Design: Collapses easily for storage or transport in a car.
- Basic Comfort Features: Includes armrests, footrests, and a supportive seat/backrest.
- Safety Brakes: Hand brakes on the handles allow caregivers to maintain control.
Benefits:
- Travel-Friendly: Easy to lift into vehicles, making it ideal for trips and outings.
- Caregiver Control: Perfect for individuals who cannot self-propel but need safe, reliable mobility assistance.
- Compact Size: Fits through narrow hallways, doorways, and crowded spaces better than many standard wheelchairs.
A transport wheelchair is best suited for short-term mobility, medical appointments, shopping trips, or travel, when a caregiver is available to push the chair.
