Q. How does the tilt and recline function work?
A. The chair offers tilt-in-space and reclining features to redistribute pressure, provide greater comfort, and assist caregivers during bathing or toileting. The mechanisms are manual and easy to operate via caregiver-accessible levers.
Q. Is this chair suitable for home use or just clinical settings?
A. It is designed for both home care and institutional use. Its compact, corrosion-resistant aluminum frame makes it perfect for bathrooms in private homes, nursing homes, or hospitals.
Q. What kind of material is used in the frame and upholstery?
A. The chair frame is made from lightweight, rust-resistant aluminum, and the cushions are made of PU (polyurethane) padding, which is water-resistant, easy to clean, and comfortable for long-term use.
Q. Can the chair be disassembled or folded for transport?
A. While it’s not foldable, the footrests, armrests, and headrest are removable, making it relatively easy to transport or store when needed.
Q. How do I clean and maintain this chair?
A. Wipe down with a mild disinfectant or soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives. For infection control, ensure daily cleaning of all surfaces, especially the seat, pail, and headrest.
Q. What are Long Stem Casters?
A. Long stem casters are wheels mounted on an extended vertical stem, designed to attach to the chair's base. They provide increased ground clearance and smoother mobility compared to standard (short stem) casters, while also raising the overall height of the chair by a few inches.
