The HydroFlex Chair is made for rehabilitation. It offers high levels of adaptability for those with more complex posture and pressure management needs. This highly flexible chair combines an articulating back, Back Angle Recline (BAR), Tilt-in-Space (TiS) and integral pressure management. Ideal for use in all care environments.
Guaranteed to transform lives of every patient where ‘seating matters’
For safe and easy handling – designed with carers in mind.
The seat back allows for specific profiling to accommodate kyphosis and other complex head positioning issues. Ensuring maximum comfort for the user.
Delivers pressure relief and long-term comfort by offering simple conforming support to the lower back whilst the user is sitting upright and in a tilted position.
Lifts the legs above hip level to reduce lower leg swelling and to help the user stabilise their posture.
Adjusts the angle between the chair seat and back to provide a more comfortable hip position.
Allows you to change the reclining angle of the chair seat and back without adjusting the user’s hip and knee angle.
For safe and easy handling – designed with carers in mind.
The seat depth can be easily adjusted to ensure the user’s pelvis is right back in the seat, correctly aligned and not tilting into a sacral sitting posture.
Delivers pressure relief and long-term comfort by offering simple conforming support to the lower back whilst the user is sitting upright and in a tilted position.
The seat cushion uses CareFlex WaterCell Technology® and Vapour Permeable (VP) upholstery, which work synergistically to provide continuous pressure relief.
An articulating legrest with integral footplate to provide a comfortable posture. Lifts the legs above hip level to reduce lower leg swelling and to help the user stabilise their posture.
Single-side release of the footplate angle control mechanism simplifies operation. Lowering the footplate, adjusting the angle and stowing the footplate can all be carried out from one side of the chair.
The castors have sealed bearing hubs for enhanced durability and smoother manoeuvrability. Each castor has a full brake to stop rolling.
Choice of fixed covers for easy cleaning, or loose covers for multi-user adaptability.
The seat back allows for specific profiling to accommodate kyphosis and other complex head positioning issues. Combined with tailored adjustment of the wings (inwards or outwards) a stable head position can be achieved ensuring maximum comfort for the user.
A simple webbing belt ideal for use during portering.
Maintains pelvic position. Padded for user comfort.
Four straps control pelvic position for maximum stability. Padded for user comfort.
A positioning aid to provide maximum pelvic control and prevent the user from sliding forward in the seat.
Gives comfort and support without restricting active positioning.
Provides greater upper trunk stability but allows for user movement.
Used with the pommel to block the front of the knees, pushing the pelvis into an upright position.
Available in shallow, medium and deep, providing basic lateral head control.
Has a deep profile to give greater lateral control.
A comfortable rectangular pillow, available in shallow and deep.
A contoured pillow to fit shoulders, neck and head providing a supportive head position.
A deep, ultra soft pillow that conforms to the shape of head and shoulders providing a higher level of comfort.
Memory Foam lining providing full cranial support with cut-away sides for unobstructed sight and hearing.
A sculpted cushion to give moderate postural support to the trunk maintaining midline position movement.
Adaptable thoracic control with independent height and width adjustment. Various pad size and shape options for simple or complex spinal profiles.
Pads which provide simple lateral support. Covered with Vapour Permeable (VP) fabric.
Arms can be removed for client transfer in and out of the chair. Available on one or both sides.
Supports the whole knee preventing legs from pinching together.
Creates an acute hip angle to keep the pelvis in the back of the seat.
To provide greater comfort. Attaches to the footplate.
For full foot sensory feedback.
Fits over the seat, arms and lower back. Prevents contamination and stops debris getting trapped in the moving parts of the chair.
Chair functions can be operated by manual gas action control or battery controlled motors.
Includes a pair of arms (choice of 2 heights), back option (flat or contoured) and appropriate cover.
All the products are tested rigorously to international standards.The HydroCare meets the British Standard for Test Level 2 (Nursing Homes)
Static Load and Fatigue – BS EN 15373:2007.
When we develop a new chair, we carry out extensive user trials to ensure it works safely, easily and logically. Our chairs are also tested by an internationally recognised test house for strength, stability and durability.
Stage 1
The testing starts as soon as the chair is taken out of the box. Our User Instructions are
assessed to see how well the chair can be set up and used safely. The chair is checked over
for pinch points and finger traps to safeguard against injury.
Then the heavy stuff starts…
Stage 2
This is a three-part process which involves checking the chair for stability, durability and
resistance to impact.
1. Stability tests check that the chair will not tip over in day-to-day use. The chair is tested
under extreme conditions, such as with the legrest fully elevated and the back fully tilted
or reclined before maximum user weight loads are applied.
The chair must remain stable throughout these tests.
2. Durability tests replicate years of constant use. They help to measure what effect fatigue can
have on the structure and operation of the chair. Because specific standards relate to use in
different environments, for example high wear areas such as nursing homes, the testing
machine applies up to 200,000 maximum user weight loading cycles to the seat and back.
3. Resistance tests focus on the structure of the chair. Each chair is tested for strength, the
ability to resist impact and extreme exerted forces to the arms, seat, legrest and back.
In addition to strength, stability and durability tests, the components and materials used in our
chairs are monitored so that they comply with the relevant standards for fire retardancy,
biocompatibility and safety requirements for electrical components used in medical devices.
Once our chairs have passed these tests, we can be confident that with the right care and
maintenance they will provide years of trouble-free service.
