WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Wheelchair Rain Cape is a lightweight, water-repellent nylon cape. It is designed to give good protection to people when sitting in wheelchairs, and is useful for outdoor excursions.

There is a draw-cord for the hood so it can be securely fitted around the face, and it has a leg and foot protector.

In use, the front of the cape is placed over the patient’s knees; the sides of the cape are positioned outside the wheelchair arms; and the back of the cape is pulled over the pushing handles so that the rain will run off the patient and not go down inside the chair. At the front of the cape is the leg and foot protector.

For sizing see the Technical tab.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

The Wheelchair Rain Cape is suitable for an wheelchair user who wants to have some protection from light rain.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Undo the three Hook & Loop Tape straps and unfold. Place over the head and fit around the wheelchair. The elastic strap should be fitted under the footplates. At the back of the cape is another elastic strap that can be fitted around the two pushing handles. This prevents the Cape blowing up over the shoulders.

The person in the wheelchair can propel the wheelchair keeping their arms and hands dry. The sides of the Cape can hang outside the wheels. If the chair is being pushed by a Carer, the cape sides can be left between the chair arms and the wheel. On electric wheelchairs the cape should cover the controls and in many cases, an activity tray as well. After use and when the Cape is dry, the hood can be turned inside out, to tuck the Cape back into the hood. The folded cape will be small enough to carry in the wheelchair next to the patient.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Nylon.

WARNING

This product uses a water-repellent material, and is designed for light rain. It is not waterproof, and is not designed to be used in heavy rain.

Ensure the material does not get caught in the wheelchair wheels. If this were occur it may cause injury.
