The Bariatric plus sized chairs are suitable for either a health or home environment.  They offer clients and carers movement options that support good posture, pressure management and independent living. The range of mechanisms is ideal for those clients:

• who are unable to independently shift their weight either in a reclined or seated position.
• with poor skin integrity where there is a high risk of skin breakdown.
• with complex needs that require carer support to change position without putting their own health at risk whilst carrying out positional changes.

On some mechanisms the back recline works independently of the leg rest enabling a wide range of relaxing positions, from sitting upright and raising the leg rest to relieve tired legs to a fully reclined resting position. The leg elevation can support reduction in oedema and fluid retention. This reduced fluid in the lower limbs allows a user to maintain their standing and walking abilities. The rise position on some mechanisms supports standing, enabling the person to walk away more easily.

The three waterfall cushions are fixed on some models and on others are removable as standard.  With all removable back cushions they can be repositioned to change the seating position to aid posture.  The waterfall cushion can be useful for those with mild kyphosis, scoliosis and reduced muscle mass on their back.

The waterfall back is complemented by a choice of five different seat cushions all with different pressure management qualities.  Choose the one that best suits the postural and pressure management conditions of the client.

These chairs can also be used as part of a 24-hour postural care programme to reduce the risk of skin breakdown and its features also ensure that a user can be repositioned to allow for optional occupational performance, thus allowing an individual to engage in activities they want to do.
