Who is this chair suitable for?
The success of the Multi C-air lies in its complete adaptability. This rise recliner puts the healthcare
team, in the home or the ward, in ultimate control, providing a full range of options to tailor the
chair precisely for each individual's comfort and care.
A choice of Dual and Single Tilt in Space as well as the Standard Dual motor ensure that pressure
management and postural options are maximised.
Single Tilt in Space (STIS) mechanism is ideal for clients with changing and deteriorating neurological
conditions. It allows for multi positioning of the legs to reduce oedema and fluid retention, leading to
increased comfort. It can be used with either a mobile or overhead hoist to support safe moving and
handling techniques for carers.

What Our Expert Says
It can also be used as part of a 24-hour postural care
programme to reduce the risk of skin breakdown and
its features also ensure that a user can be repositioned
to allow for optional occupational performance, thus
allowing an individual to engage in activities they want
to do.
Where can the chair be used?
The chair is suitable for a number of health and care
environments including hospitals, hospices and care
homes as well as domestic home environments.
What are the feature benefits?
The Multi C-air allows carers to regularly reposition
users to redistribute pressure and provide all day
comfort using either the Single or Dual Tilt in Space
mechanisms.
• The Tilt in Space
This allows the seat back angle to remain the same
whilst the whole seating system is tilted backwards
allowing the angle of the hips, knees and ankles to
remain unaffected reducing shear and friction during
this movement.
It also reduces the weight on the Ischial Tuberosities
by redistributing the weight through the back. This
feature can also help when transferring someone in
a sling as it can support better pelvic positioning by
using gravity to position the user in the back of the
chair in the optimal position.
