Anti-Rollback Device for Wheelchairs is a safety accessory that prevents an occupied wheelchair from rolling backward on inclines, ramps, or uneven surfaces. It engages automatically during a backward roll to stop the chair, giving patients and caregivers added confidence when navigating slopes or performing transfers near ramps.

This accessory is particularly important for patients who self-propel or who are being transported on hilly terrain. It attaches to the rear axle area of most standard wheelchairs and requires no tools for installation. OxyCare supplies wheelchair accessories alongside full wheelchair setups to ensure patient safety.
