The Careflex HydroTilt chair provides All-Round Support, while accommodating for posture, pressure
and comfort management – now with padded, angle adjustable, flip-up footplate.
The HydroTilt is an accommodating all-round chair for posture, pressure and comfort management in equal measure. It is suitable for a wide range of seating needs, in all care environments. It is a well-thought out, effective design which is simple to use and virtually problem free.
Easily change the reclining angle of the chair seat & back without adjusting the user’s hip and knee angle.
The castors have sealed bearing hubs for enhanced durability and smoother manoeuvrability.
The backrest delivers pressure relief and long-term comfort by offering simple conforming support.
Adjustable legrest to provide pressure relief for the legs.
Allows you to change the reclining angle of the chair seat and back without adjusting the user’s hip and knee angle.
The backrest 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.
To maximise the performance of the WaterCell back, the seat depth can be easily adjusted to ensure the user’s pelvis stays right back in the seat, correctly aligned and not tilting into a sacral sitting posture.
The seat cushion uses CareFlex WaterCell Technology® and Vapour Permeable (VP) upholstery, which work synergistically to provide continuous pressure relief.
Wooden hand grips are solid enough to support the user as they rise to standing. Soft hand grips are an alternative option and consist of an upholstered foam pad fitted in the same position.
Reflexions Foam® is incorporated in the legrest to provide pressure relief for the legs. It allows the sitting position to be adjusted throughout the day for different activities.
For multi-user adaptability.
The flip-up angle adjustable footplate accommodates fixed angles of plantarflexion at the ankle, and provides a more restful ankle position whilst supporting the foot.
The castors have sealed bearing hubs for enhanced durability and smoother manoeuvrability. The two rear castors have a full brake to stop rolling. With the brakes applied, the user can confidently transfer from the chair without fear of the chair moving.
The leg rest now has a 25Ëš negative angle to facilitate standing. It also offers a more comfortable seating position for clients with tight hamstrings. *Medium size only at present.
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.
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.
Provides gentle lateral support for the upper trunk. Centralises the posture with contoured pads but allows movement.
Consists of 2 lumbar cushions and a head cushion which accommodates posture and manages pressure with comfort.
Prescriptive thoracic control with independent height and width adjustment. Comes in one size and shape.
L-shaped pads to provide simple lateral support.
Arm covers wrap around the front of the chair sides to prevent picking of the arm seams.
The arm cushions are interchangeable allowing the seat width to be adjusted.
A plastic tray with low profiled edges to aid activities and leisure.
Supports the whole knee preventing legs from pinching together.
Creates an acute hip angle to keep the pelvis in the back of the seat.
Helps centralise leg position.
Used to increase the length of the legrest once elevated. For those with longer legs and if foot support is not required.
Attaches to the legrest once elevated to support feet and prevent toe drop. Can be height adjusted.
To provide greater comfort. Attaches to the footplate.
30° range of angle adjustment to support the foot and ankle helping to stabilise the seating position.
To provide greater comfort or for shorter leg length. Attaches to the angle adjustable footplate.
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.
Allows TiS to be adjusted automatically over a short or long cycle.
Ideal on hospital wards or wherever attention to infection control is critical. We have removed Velcro in all exposed areas and use plastic profile fittings and zips. We have also minimised exposed seams on the covers, ie; the leg rest cover has no seam across the front. These issues may be key to obtain funding.
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.
