The wheelchair glove is a “thumb glove” that covers the entire thumb and the base of the thumb. It is attached around the wrist with a Velcro closure, see photo 5. The entire thumb and the base of the thumb are covered by a layer of thick rubber, see photos 1 and 2.
\nThe thumb glove is made baed on a plaster cast of the hand.<\/p>\n

The user usually wears a nylon work glove as a liner. The glove is PU-coated to provide a good grip and fits snugly, see photos 3 and 4.<\/p>\n

Model name liner glove: Work glove Tegera<\/p>\n

Users comments<\/strong>
\nThe glove provides a good friction surface against the wheelchair handrim and significantly improves the mobility of the user.<\/p>\n

The liner glove also has a very good grip, including in the rain, and can be successfully used by paraplegics. It is inexpensive and lasts surprisingly well, even with heavy usage.<\/p>\n
