The Slender Fender wheelchair fender guard is a patented assistive wheelchair device designed to deflect dirt, mud, and water splatter from the wheels landing on the rider.
Will the Slender Fender fit my model of wheelchair?
The Slender Fender, and universal mounting kit, has been designed to fit most wheelchair chair brands on the market. As long as the wheel chair has a round or oblong tubular frame then it will likely fit. If you are unsure, please contact us: ed@seatshardware.com
