Description The Haven Air Riser Recliner by Repose is excellent for people with significant risk of pressure problems or existing pressure ulcers due to the air bag technology within the seat cushion, leg rest and back cushion. The air cushions work constantly to evenly distribute weight, ensuring that there are no pressure points that might restrict circulation. The high level of pressure relief is due to the air cushions constant movement and repositioning of pressure. It has been designed to provide the highest level of pressure relief for conditions such as: 1. Motor Neurone disease and other neurological conditions 2. End of life clients e.g. cancer 3. Frail elderly Haven Air Riser Recliner Chair Size Chart With a choice of Dual or Single Tilt in Space Motors as well as a 3 Motor Independent Tilt, the Haven is ideal for clients with changing and deteriorating neurological conditions. Also for those who require assisted movement to reduce the problems of skin breakdown. It has a rise option to maintain independence when getting up to walk as well as choice and control to change position to support rest and purposeful activity. The Haven Air Riser Recliner comes with a chaise which helps to prevent shear and friction as well as the option of Coolform gel in the arm rests for comfort and additional pressure relief. The chair is easily moved from one room to another to reduce the need for manual handling. It also negates the need to move a person at the end of life where any movement is potentially painful. Ideal as part of a 24-hour postural care programme, it is compatible with both a mobile hoist and an overhead hoist. The chair is ideal for use in health environments. Nursing homes, end of life care clients and residents. Please note that all air bag cushions are pre-set at manufacture, but they are easily altered by a trained care professional using the air valve and pumps. They are removable for cleaning or replacement. The Haven comes with a range of key features to aid pressure management, postural control and comfort. The key features listed below are standard, you can purchase additional features and these are detailed in the Optional Accessories Section. Haven Air Riser Recliner Mechanisms The Haven is available with either a Dual Tilt in Space (DTIS) or a Single Tilt in Space (STIS) mechanism. The Tilt in Space (TIS) movement allows the seat to back angle to remain the same whilst the whole seating system is tilted backwards which prevents shearing and friction. The Dual Tilt in Space mechanism has more positional movement options than the STIS as it also has independent backrest recline and independent leg rest movement. This enables a greater range of positions to aid pressure management, postural control and comfort. For further details on these mechanisms, see the Mechanisms Section. Haven Air Riser Recliner Pressure Management Back Cushions The Haven comes with a unique split contoured back comprising of two separate and distinct cushions which are detailed below. Lower Back Air Cushion This supports the thoracic and lumbar part of the back through a one cell air bag surrounded by a soft foam surface. It provides a high level of pressure relief due to its constant movement and repositioning of pressure. Top Head Cushion The top head cushion is Dacron fibre filled and is adjustable, providing additional head support and comfort. The padding levels are adjustable through the addition or removal of fibres – simply unzip the head cover to gain access to the fibres. The cushions can be positioned on the back frame using the Velcro. The covers are removable for replacement and cleaning. See Back Cushion Section for more details on the air cushion. Pressure Management Seat Cushions The seat cushion contains a single cell air cushion. Users need to have appropriate pelvic stability and core trunk strength to accommodate the air pressure changes and related movement in this single air cushion. The seat cushion and chaise are combined and the cushions and covers are removable for cleaning and replacement. With this seat cushion we recommend a fabric with four way stretch properties to aid reduction of shear and friction. See Seat Cushion Section for more details of the cushion. Leg Rest Cushion The single cell airbag provides consistent support across the whole of the thighs, back of the knees and calf and reduces the risk of pressure problems. Castors The Haven comes with durable castors built in as standard. There is the option to upgrade to either lockable castors or glides. Handset Pocket on Arm This comes fitted as standard on the right hand side arm. As an optional extra you can choose to have this positioned differently.
