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.
Visual inspection

device regularly. Always inspect the product after
laundering. Check to ensure that seams and material
are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric
is not worn or faded. If there are signs of wear, the
product must be discarded.
