The Vanturns
are used indoors for shorter transfers between wheelchair and bed, wheelchair and toilet/portable toilet/
wheelchair or chair/armchair.
Vanturns
can also be used to aid repositioning farther back in the chair.
The Vanturn is
designed for easy manoeuvring and use in confined spaces. They are easy to assemble and disassemble in just two
sections for easier transport and storage.
