Phoenix

The Phoenix chair accommodates people with complex or changing needs who require high levels of postural support, pressure care and comfort.

Due to its customisation, the Phoenix provides comfortable and supportive seating for those who may otherwise be unable to sit out of bed. The Phoenix is often used as an alternative seating system for wheelchair users while still providing postural support and pressure care. Being completely mobile, the Phoenix can be moved throughout the home, allowing the user to maintain interaction with family and friends while relaxing in a comfortable, safe chair.

Adjustable head, neck and shoulder sections support kyphosis and complex fixed postures. Contractures can also be accommodated through the negative angle leg rest and height adjustable armrests.

The seat width, seat depth, footplate height and back height can all be adjusted to suit different sizes, shapes and clinical needs.

All features and supports of the Phoenix can be adjusted over time, providing people with degenerative conditions increasing levels of support as required.

The Phoenix uses high pressure care materials on all contact surfaces, along with tilt in space for repositioning.

Features

The Phoenix has:

Tilt in space (45 degrees) to allow for re-positioning for pressure care and comfort of the user. Elevating leg rest and recline are also standard.

Dartex multi stretch pressure management materials throughout all patient contact surfaces. This material is breathable with moisture permeability to ensure that the surface remains dry and comfortable for the user. This material can be wiped down for infection control and hygiene requirements.

Medium to high pressure management cushion, using memory foam. This cushion is removable for cleaning and if you wish to use a different type. An advantage of our memory foam cushions is they do not require maintenance or adjustment for each person, unlike a gel or air cushion. The cushion is also easily replaceable.

Adjustable seat width, foot plate height and seat depth allows the chair to fit the size and requirements of the user.

Adjustable head, neck and shoulder supports to accommodate complex postures. 

  • Height adjustable back rest.
  • Removable arms which are height adjustable.
  • Height and angle adjustable footplate.
  • Is available in manual or electric combinations.

Case Studies

Kyphosis Chair for Sliding - Ben's Story

Ben, 87, had severe kyphosis and post-stroke complications that left him slumped, uncomfortable, and at risk of choking. After switching to the Phoenix chair, Ben regained comfort, improved posture and breathing, and could safely engage with his environment—relieving pressure on both his body and his caregivers.
