RehaDesign, a pioneer in fun and functional wheelchair accessories, proudly announces the launch of its newest innovation: Wheelchair Skins. These retro-reflective stickers are designed not only to elevate the appearance of wheelchairs but also to enhance nighttime safety for users.
“Wheelchair Skins may seem like a simple product, but it took three years to develop,” said Dr. Eugene Emmer, founder and owner of RehaDesign. “To my knowledge, this is the first product of its kind made specifically for wheelchairs. Like all RehaDesign products, Wheelchair Skins are beautifully designed and practical. The retro-reflective material reflects light back to its source, which significantly improves visibility and safety for wheelchair users.”
