Description Repose Arden Bariatric Chair is at home in any 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. Repose Arden Bariatric Chair Size Chart Repose Arden Bariatric Chair Mechanisms Its uniqueness lies in the four-motor mechanism which maximises the range of postural and pressure management options: Independent Tilt in Space Independent Backrest Recline Independent Leg Rest Independent Rise Tilt and recline systems work predominantly by moving the persons centre of gravity which maintains posture and ergonomic support allows the pannus to be redistributed. This can be used to alleviate pressure, help the respiratory system and allow access for specific skin care tasks. The addition of independent leg rest and rise movements ensures an excellent range of postural and pressure management positions and support. 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 person to maintain their standing and walking abilities. The rise position supports standing, enabling a person to walk away more easily. The Arden 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 support excess tissue in this area thus encouraging 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. Arden Bariatric Riser Recliner is often used as part of a 24-hour postural care programme, reducing the risk of skin breakdown. Its features also allow a user to be repositioned, ensuring optional occupational performance. The Arden addresses the needs of plus sized clients with its four-motor mechanism. It maximises pressure control through independent Tilt in Space, Backrest Recline, Leg Rest Elevation and Rise movements, giving the client and carer many more positional options. It has many unique features that complement this sophisticated mechanism. Suited to both home and healthcare environments with a full range of health and home fabrics available. Pressure Management Back Cushions The Arden comes with our deeply comfortable, three cushioned, waterfall back, all fibre filled. They are easily re-positioned for the client’s individual requirements. Their firmness is also adjustable by adding or taking away fibres. For ease of cleaning and replacement the back cushions and covers are easily removable. Back Blockers for Postural Support At the back of both the top and middle waterfall cushions, sleeves accommodate the blockers, giving additional postural support. The position of each back cushion is adaptable with blockers to adjust the shape and support for the specific needs of each user. The blockers come as standard with replacement pairs available for purchase. Repose Arden Bariatric Chair Pressure Management Seat Cushions The Arden comes as standard with a fixed seat option or you may choose to have our removable and interchangeable seat cushions. You can choose from one of four seat cushion options, each with different pressure management features. Your seat cushion combines with the chaise (single seat and leg rest cover) and becomes an integrated seating solution, fixed to the frame. There is an option to choose a removable/interchangeable seat cushion. All covers are removable for cleaning or replacement. With all these seat cushions we recommend a fabric with four way stretch properties to aid reduction of shear and friction. Chaise Cover The Arden benefits from a single, full seat cover.

The chaise cover and memory foam are removable for cleaning and replacement. Glides The chair comes with heavy-duty glides, built in as standard.
