The Glide Series 1 is a hard-wearing folding wheelchair built in Australia for hospitals, aged care homes and anyone who wants a chair that will still be rolling in ten years. The stainless steel frame shrugs off knocks and cleaning chemicals, and the removable arms and swing-away legrests make transfers straightforward.
Why it works
- Stainless steel folding frame is built for years of daily institutional use and will not rust
- Swing-away, removable legrests get out of the way for standing and side transfers
- Removable armrests allow sliding-board transfers to a bed or car
- Durable vinyl upholstery wipes clean; removable calf strap keeps feet secure
- Three seat widths and three finishes to suit different users and settings
- Australian made and tested to the wheelchair standard AS/NZS 3695:2009
