Feb
Ribbed silicone grip wrap can be a useful addition for individuals who use a wheelchair, as it can help provide a better grip and increase safety. Here are some advantages of using ribbed silicone grip wrap on a wheelchair to help a loved one or yourself:
Advantages of Grip Wrap
Improved grip: The ribbed texture of the silicone wrap helps to improve grip, which can be especially helpful for individuals who may have difficulty holding onto the smooth surface of a wheelchair.
Comfort: The silicone material is soft and flexible, making it comfortable to grip for long periods of time.
Durability: Silicone is a durable material that can withstand wear and tear, making it a long-lasting solution for improving grip on a wheelchair.
Easy to install: Ribbed silicone grip wrap is easy to install and can be easily removed if desired.
How To Apply Grip Wrap:
1.
Begin by preparing the handle of the wheelchair. Use alcohol wipes or rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth to thoroughly clean the handle. This will help the silicone grip wrap stick better. Make sure the handle is dry before proceeding to the next step.
2.
Cut the silicone grip wrap to the desired length. Measure the circumference of the handle and add a few inches to allow for overlap. Cut the silicone grip wrap using scissors.
3.
Remove the backing from the silicone grip wrap and begin applying it to the handle. Start at one end of the handle and work your way around, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles as you go. Make sure the silicone grip wrap is positioned evenly around the handle.
4.
When you reach the end of the handle, overlap the ends of the silicone grip wrap by about 1/4 inch. This will help ensure a seamless finish.
5.
Use your fingers to smooth out the silicone grip wrap and press it firmly onto the handle. Make sure the silicone grip wrap is tightly wrapped around the handle and that there are no gaps or wrinkles.
Repeat the process for any additional sections of the wheelchair that need grip improvement.
