Polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl) coatings and components are widely used in wheelchairs and mobility aids due to their durability, comfort, and ease of cleaning. Found in seats, armrests, handle grips, and padded supports, vinyl materials help ensure hygienic, user-friendly solutions across a variety of mobility products — from wheelchairs to crutches and walkers.
