Something New for Wheelchair Users and Their Caregivers

NEED: Wheelchair grips which can be easily seen and distinguished by touch.
SOLUTION: Accu-Grips™ (Replacement Wheelchair Grips)

Accu-Grips™ are much-needed, state-of-the art wheelchair grips that replace the existing leg rest and wheel lock grips on manual wheelchairs. The unique design and bright yellow color enable wheelchair users and their caregivers to more readily locate the grips. 

Products like Accu-Grips™ do not currently exist on the market. Because the product developer worked directly with wheelchair users throughout her career as a health care        provider, she noticed that the majority of her patients had difficulty seeing or feeling the original grips on their wheelchairs.  Her committment to her patients and her willingness      to solve this challenge led to the development of Accu-Grips™.
