Whether you need a reliable mobility aid for everyday use or a travel-friendly solution, the Go Chair® offers a lightweight, easy-to-disassemble design that allows users to navigate their world with ease.

Unmatched Portability and Convenience

One of the Go Chair’s standout features is its feather-touch disassembly, which allows it to be broken down into smaller, manageable pieces for easy transport. The heaviest component weighs only 36 lbs., making it light enough to lift into a vehicle without hassle. This feature is especially beneficial for individuals who frequently travel, as it enables them to bring their mobility aid wherever they go.

With a tight 25.5” turning radius, the Go Chair® is well-suited for indoor use, allowing users to maneuver effortlessly through hallways, doorways, and crowded spaces. Whether in a home, shopping center, or restaurant, this power chair provides exceptional agility in confined spaces.

Built for Comfort and Support

The Go Chair® is designed with ergonomic seating to provide both comfort and support. It comes with a compact, foldable seat, available in two sizes: 18” x 17” or 20” x 18”, accommodating different body types. With a seat-to-ground height of 22”-23”, it ensures easy transfers for individuals with varying mobility needs.

The power chair features solid 6-inch front casters, 9-inch drive wheels, and 3-inch rear anti-tip wheels, offering a stable and smooth ride across different surfaces. With a ground clearance of 1.8 inches at the motor and 2.7 inches at the foot bracket, the Go Chair® can navigate over minor obstacles with ease while maintaining stability and balance.

Reliable Performance and Battery Efficiency

Despite its lightweight and compact design, the Go Chair® offers impressive performance. It reaches a maximum speed of 3.8 mph, providing users with a safe yet efficient mode of travel. The chair’s per-charge range depends on the user’s weight—supporting up to 8.7 miles per charge at 300 lbs. and up to 13.2 miles per charge at 200 lbs.

Equipped with two 18 Ah, 12 V deep-cycle batteries, the Go Chair® provides long-lasting power for daily use. The off-board 2-amp battery charger ensures convenient recharging, so users can confidently go about their day without worrying about battery life.

Switching from a Manual Wheelchair to a Power Chair: What to Consider Before You Make the Change

March 27, 2025

Consider Your Options Carefully For many individuals who rely on manual wheelchairs, the idea of transitioning to a power chair can be both exciting and overwhelming. While manual chairs offer independence and mobility, they also require a significant amount of upper body strength, stamina, and coordination. Over time—or as medical conditions evolve—a manual wheelchair may no longer be the most suitable or sustainable option. At Monroe Medical Supplies, we often hear from customers who are exploring the possibility of moving to a power wheelchair but aren’t sure whether it’s the right decision. If you’re in a similar position, here are some important factors to consider as you weigh your options.

Nebulizers vs Inhalers: Which Is Best for Respiratory Treatment?

March 20, 2025

Make the Right Choice For individuals managing chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, or COPD , the choice between a nebulizer and an inhaler can significantly impact treatment effectiveness and ease of use. Both devices deliver medication directly to the lungs, but they function in different ways. Understanding their differences—and determining which one best fits your health needs—can make breathing easier and treatment more effective. At Monroe Medical Supplies, we provide high-quality respiratory solutions, including the Voyage-II Compressor Nebulizer , a durable and effective option for those requiring aerosol medication therapy. What’s the Difference Between a Nebulizer and an Inhaler? Both nebulizers and inhalers are commonly prescribed for lung conditions, but their design and application vary: Nebulizers convert liquid medication into a fine mist, allowing the patient to breathe in the medication naturally through a mouthpiece or mask. They are often recommended for individuals with severe respiratory conditions, young children, or elderly patients who may struggle with using an inhaler properly. Inhalers, or metered-dose inhalers ( MDIs ), deliver a quick burst of medication through a handheld device. While inhalers are portable and convenient, they require proper technique, including precise timing and coordination to ensure medication reaches the lungs effectively.
