Advanced Positioning For Pressure Management
The Repose Boston Porter Chair is designed for users who require more than a standard porter chair can provide.
Its independently operated positioning functions allow carers to redistribute pressure throughout the day while maintaining comfort and support.
The chair is regularly used as part of intensive pressure management and 24-hour postural care programmes.
For many users, these positioning options help improve comfort, support skin integrity and encourage participation in everyday activities.
Manual Or Electric Models Available
The Repose Boston Porter Chair is available with either a manual or electric operating system.
Both versions provide exactly the same positioning capabilities. The difference is how those adjustments are controlled.
The electric version includes a rechargeable battery system and handset, allowing the main movements to be adjusted electronically. Meanwhile, the manual model uses assisted mechanical adjustments.
Both models include:
- Independent Tilt in Space movement
- Independent Backrest Recline movement
- Independent Leg Rest Elevation
Pressure Management Cushion Options
One of the key strengths of the Repose Boston Porter Chair is its flexibility.
The chair can be configured with a choice of interchangeable seat and back cushions. Each option offers different pressure management and postural support characteristics.
This allows healthcare professionals to tailor the chair around the individual rather than expecting the individual to adapt to the chair.
As needs change over time, cushions can be replaced or reconfigured without replacing the entire chair.
Ease Of Movement For Carers
The Repose Boston Porter Chair has been designed to make moving and positioning easier for carers.
Alongside the traditional push handle, the chair features integrated wing handles that provide a comfortable and secure grip.
The shape and positioning of these handles allows carers of different heights to manoeuvre the chair confidently.
Even when fully reclined, the chair remains easy to position and transport.
Standard Features
- Heavy-duty push handle
- Integrated wing handles
- Four large lockable castors
- Rear documentation pocket
- Padded chaise seat cover
- D-rings for lap strap attachment
- Rechargeable battery system on electric models
- Removable covers for cleaning and replacement
These features help ensure the chair remains practical in busy healthcare environments while maintaining high levels of comfort and support.
