The WheelAir Slingback is a wheelchair product designed to replace an 
existing back support. The system is designed to improve user comfort by 
lowering temperature and relative humidity. This is achieved  by channeling 
inducted air over the user’s seat surface using WheelAir’s patented Fluid 
Flow Channel technology. Airflow can be varied using a wireless multispeed 
Controller giving six options of airspeed. Up to 27 hours of continuous use 
can be achieved from a single battery charge (dependent upon fan speed 
settings).

Fanbox and Controller are charged via a USB-C connection.  Typical charge 
time is approximately 2 hours to 80% capacity.

The WheelAir Slingback V2 is suitable for all wheelchair users.
