Bariatric Sorrento

The Bariatric Sorrento is a tilt in space bariatric chair on wheels and can support patients up to 294kgs and has been designed to reduce the risk of injury to the patient and caregiver. Fully motorised to limit patient handling, the Bariatric Sorrento fully accommodates the user’s unique body shape which limits sliding, provides postural support and repositioning. Removable arms also assist with side transferring or sling application and removal

The Bariatric Sorrento chair takes into consideration the weight of the client, the body proportions, physical dimensions, range of movement, mobility and transfers. The needs of caregiver safety are incorporated into the design of the chair. With its adaptability and effortless adjustment, the Bariatric Sorrento can be adjusted to suit the changing needs of a user or re-adjusted to suit the needs of a new user meaning their comfort, posture and pressure management remain uncompromised. Removable arms can assist with side transferring or sling application and removal.

700mm or 850mm seat width as standard with the ability to adjust smaller or larger in both models.  

Removable bottom cushion to accommodate Gluteal Shelf.

Tilt in space to allow for re-positioning for pressure care and comfort of the user. Elevating leg rest and recline are also standard.
