Matters chairs. We suggest you consult your local seating Matters provider for exact
information on what the best specifications are for you and to find out what comes as
standard on your chair. some of the available options are outlined here.
the Phoenix chair can provide pressure management due to the multi-stretch material
™
and reflex foam in the seat cushion and offers a great deal of support with the Tilt in
space mechanism and adjustable lateral supports. In addition, the Phoenix head support
™
accommodates those with kyphotic postures, hyperextension, or those who require upper
body and head support. the angle of the back can be adjusted to the Patients liking and
the elevating leg rest can be raised and lowered, also increasing Patient comfort. the tilt
in space will allow all angles on the chair to remain the same while tilting the Patient back,
allowing their weight to be spread throughout the body to reduce pressure on a given point.
the push handle and castors allow the Patient to be transported in the chair and the chair
is fully accessible with a Patient lift, reducing moving and handling significantly.
the removable arms allow width adjustment and also facilitate side transfers. the Phoenix™
arm height, seat depth and width and foot board height and angle are all fully adjustable
