About this project

The team created hard-wearing wheelchair gloves that are suitable for people with quadriplegia or tetraplegia and those with limited mobility. They are designed to offer maximum protection in any weather, especially during the winter. This glove supports the use of polyurethane rubber, Leather, Velcro, and Nylon fabric for waterproof quality.
