Reclined Function
A function which makes hygienic care of the patient easier.
From a sitting position, a reclined position can be achieved by
means of turning gears which makes the backrest move in
backwards and upright directions.
Corresponding to this movement the leg rest is moving up and
down. (See Fig. 1)
Lifting Function – High/Low
The patient can, in a sitting position, be transferred and the chair
can be adjusted to a suitable height over the toilet.
The lifting/lowering movement is performed by a linear actuator
driven by an electric motor. (See Fig. 2)
Care Raiser
A function which makes undressing and changing of incontinence
pads of the patient easier. (See Fig. 3)
From a sitting position, a raising of the posterior parts of the
patient and at the same time a backwards movement of the
backrest is activated. (See Fig. 4)
These movements are synchronized to each other.
Leg Support
Supports the patient’s legs, and also prevents the legs from getting
jammed under the seat.
Moves forward when the chair is adjusted to the reclined position.
WARNING
To avoid entrapment or pinching of genitals and
skin, always use the seat cushion.
