Short Description

A curved slide board made from fibreglass with a slip resistant rubber base. Cut outs in the board enable it to be positioned over wheels of the wheelchair. A low friction looped piece of material called a Glide Wing can be attached centrally to the board via hook and loop and is designed to slide over itself to assist transferring.

More Details

* Etac Butterfly glideboard can be used in many situations for transfer from wheelchair to bed, bath chair, car etc.
