Overview

The Arden Bariatric is suitable for either a health or home environment.

It offers clients and carers unique movement options that support good posture, pressure management and independent living. The four-motor mechanism is ideal for:

• those clients who are unable to independently shift their weight either in a reclined or seated position.
• those with poor skin integrity where there is a high risk of skin breakdown.
• those clients with complex needs that require carer support to change position without putting their own health at risk whilst carrying out positional changes.

The back recline works independently of the leg rest enabling a wide range of relaxing positions, from sitting upright and raising the leg rest to relieve tired legs to a fully reclined resting position. The leg elevation can support reduction in oedema and fluid retention. This reduced fluid in the lower limbs allows a user to maintain their standing and walking abilities. The rise position supports standing, enabling the person to walk away more easily.

The Arden Bariatric has other very important features that combine with the mechanism movements to produce a unique plus-sized seating solution:

Accommodating the Gluteal Shelf

This is achieved through the:

• Option to increase the seat depth with easy to fit adjuster pads.
• Reduced lumbar padding in the backrest which creates a recess.
• Set back calf rests, which can support excess tissue in this area thus supporting natural flexion.

A Seat Height starting at 16

This allows the person to get the exact chair they need to support health, well-being and independence without compromise.

Extendable Leg Rest

This is to ensure that whatever seat height is chosen the user will not find the leg rest too short when it is raised.

The chair can also be used as part of a 24-hour postural care programme to reduce the risk of skin breakdown and its features also ensure that a user can be repositioned to allow for optional occupational performance, thus allowing an individual to engage in activities they want to do.
