Innovative glider


Wieland presents the Versant Glider, the latest edition to The Versant Collection. This glider is unique due to its hidden mechanism that gives the chair a light scale appearance.

Since the user can shift his center of gravity directly under the chair, his balance is much better so he needs less assistance, putting less strain on the caregiver.

Overbed patient table
