The HydroTilt XL, Careflex's robust supportive chair, offers comfort with optimum posture and pressure management for individuals with increased body weight and size. It includes all the tried and trusted features of our much loved HydroTilt but with an impressive maximum user weight of 35 stone.
Ideal for:
The HydroTilt XL is an effective seating solution for adults and with the following conditions and postural challenges:
- Obesity
- Osteoarthritis
- Lymphoedema
- Huntington’s disease
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Motor neurone disease
- Stroke
- Pelvic instability
- Increased lumbar lordosis
- General weakness
- Fatigue
How can the Hydrotilt XL help individuals?
- The waterfall back can be reconfigured to allow extra space to comfortably accommodate the gluteal shelf improving the user’s posture, ensuring appropriate pressure care and limiting the user being pushed anteriorly in the chair
- The negative angle leg rest can help accommodate larger lower limbs whilst maintaining optimum knee flexion position; weight can then be evenly distributed through the feet. It can also allow a more stable placement of feet for sit to stand transfers
- Integral pressure management with Water Cell Technology and adjustable seat depth encourages maximum support and equal weight distribution with the aim of reducing the risk of pressure injury
- Powered tilt-in-space improves pelvic stability without affecting the user’s hip and knee angle, promotes energy management and encourages pressure redistribution
Seating individuals with increased body weight and size can increase the risk of injury to carers, support staff and clinicians. The HydroTiltXL has powered functions and heavy duty castors to make chair use and manoeuvrability smoother and safer for the user and their support network.
Product Features:
Powered Tilt in Space
Allows you to change the reclining angle of the chair seat and back without adjusting the user’s hip and knee angle.
Flat Back with Headrest
The backrest delivers pressure relief and long-term comfort by offering simple conforming support to the lower back whilst the user is sitting upright and in a tilted position.
Lateral Support Waterfall Back
Extra lateral support to aid positioning.
Maximum Pressure Relief
The seat cushion uses CareFlex WaterCell Technology® and Vapour Permeable (VP) upholstery, which work synergistically to provide continuous pressure relief.
Independently Elevating Legrest
Reflexions Foam® is incorporated in the legrest to provide pressure relief for the legs. It allows the sitting position to be adjusted throughout the day for different activities.
4 Braked Heavy Duty Castors
The castors have sealed bearing hubs for enhanced durability and smoother manoeuvrability. With the brakes applied, the user can confidently transfer from the chair without fear of the chair moving.
Wooden or Soft Hand Grips
Wooden hand grips are solid enough to support the user as they rise to standing. Soft hand grips are an alternative option and consist of an upholstered foam pad fitted in the same position.
Adjustable Seat Depth
To maximise the performance of the WaterCell back, the seat depth can be easily adjusted to ensure the user’s pelvis stays right back in the seat, correctly aligned and not tilting into a sacral sitting posture.
Loose Covers
For multi-user adaptability.
