Posture & Pressure Care Made Portable
The Tempo supports a wide range of seating, positioning and pressure care requirements while remaining easy to move between locations. Its Tilt-in-Space functionality helps improve comfort and positioning, while the integrated transport features make it ideal for care environments where mobility is important.
Both mechanism options are designed to provide smooth positioning and pressure redistribution while supporting safe transfers and day-to-day care.
Pressure Care Management

The Tempo features a vapour permeable removable seat wrap that allows alternative pressure care solutions to be incorporated into the chair. This flexible design enables the chair to accommodate a range of pressure-relieving foams, gel cushions and specialist seating systems.
This adaptability allows the Tempo to support users with low through to high pressure care requirements while also making cleaning and maintenance significantly easier.
Backrest Options
The Tempo is available with a variety of backrest styles to help achieve the correct balance of comfort, support and positioning. Rear fibre adjustment allows the chair to be fine-tuned to individual requirements and changing needs.

This range of backrest options makes the Tempo suitable for a broad spectrum of users requiring additional postural support.
Key Features

The Tempo includes a comprehensive range of features designed to improve comfort, safety and usability.
The standard headroll provides soft lateral support for the head, neck and upper body, while optional horseshoe and deep contoured headrests are available for users requiring additional positioning support.
Optional padded pelvic belts can help maintain positioning and improve stability during use.

Every Tempo chair comes equipped with an integrated Accupak battery system capable of approximately 40 complete cycles between charges. A magnetic drop-down footplate, heavy-duty operational grab bar and individual locking castors are all included as standard to support safe transportation.
Fabric Options
Inner upholstery consists of vapour permeable Dartex fabrics which support pressure care requirements while remaining easy to clean.
Outer upholstery is available in durable vinyl fabrics from the Spradling Mardi Gras range. Alternative fabric options may also be available upon request.
