Lay-Flat Porter chair promotes skin immersion and envelopment
This Lay-Flat Porter Chair is a comfortable and supportive seating option. It is incredibly useful for those who may want to be moved from room to room, without the need to be transferred out of the chair. Its unique design promotes skin immersion and envelopment. This reduces and redistributes any pressure on the skins surface, reducing the risk of developing pressure sores. This is especially useful if sitting or lying down for prolonged periods of time.
Tilt, recline and true lay-flat positioning
This porter chair has tilt and recline features, and when fully reclined it offers a true flat lying position. This is very useful for achieving a bed-like position to help with fatigue. It also provides a relaxed position for the user. This lay-flat position also comes with SmartTilt, it intelligently manages the chairs position and ensures there is no unintentional head down Trendelenburg.
Generous leg lift for management of oedema
The gas operated tilt, recline and leg raiser allows you to change your seating position when using this supportive chair for extended periods of time. The generous 90° leg raiser assists in the management of lower limb oedema.
Integral Care Chair; compatible for side transfers
Our lay-flat porter chair, Integral Care Chair is also compatible for side transfers. This is thanks to the swing-away backrest wings and swing-away armrests. These incredibly useful features make personal care routines and the fitting of slings, for transfers, much easier. These tasks are made simpler for both the carer and the person sitting in the chair.
Creates skin microclimates and evenly redistributes pressure
There is a matrix of air flow chambers within this porter chair, to promote skin microclimates and to evenly redistribute pressure. The higher density outer of the backrest cushion aids and improves lumbar support. While the foam cores are moveable to create a customised position for you. The gentle contouring in the sacral region helps to achieve and maintain a midline posture and optimal positioning.
