The Bariatric 3-Position Recliner is a heavy-duty clinical seating solution specifically engineered for larger residents who require advanced pressure redistribution and comfort. While maintaining the same “three-position” versatility as standard models, this version features a reinforced steel frame, wider seat dimensions, and high-density foam to support significantly higher weight capacities. It is an essential tool for providing dignified care and safe positioning for bariatric patients in long-term care or hospital settings.
Three Clinical Positions
The chair transitions smoothly to support various clinical and comfort needs:
Upright Position: Ideal for dining, socializing, and providing a stable base for independent or assisted transfers.
First Recline (TV Position): The backrest leans and the leg rest extends, providing comfort for reading or watching television while reducing pressure on the sacrum.
Deep Recline (Full Recline): The back is fully lowered and the leg rest fully elevated. This position is utilized for resting, clinical assessments, or managing lower-extremity edema.
Key Features & Benefits
Reinforced Steel Frame: Built with heavy-gauge, powder-coated steel to ensure structural integrity and stability under higher weight loads, preventing frame warping or tipping.
Extra-Wide Seating: Features an expanded width (typically 25″ to 30″) to comfortably accommodate larger body types without restricting movement or causing “side-wall” pressure.
Enhanced Weight Capacity: Specifically rated to support 500 lbs to 700 lbs (depending on the specific model), ensuring safety for both the resident and the caregiver.
Dual Side Trays: Equipped with two large, fold-down side trays that provide a convenient surface for meals or therapy. These trays can be tucked away to allow for easier side-transfers.
Heavy-Duty Casters: Features oversized, industrial-grade casters (typically 5″) that allow for smooth transport over carpet and hard floors. Rear casters include heavy-duty locks to secure the chair during transfers.
High-Density Fire-Retardant Foam: The padding is engineered to resist “bottoming out,” maintaining its shape and support over long periods of use.
