Description
CareFlex EasiTilt Tilt-in-Space Specialist Care Chair
The CareFlex EasiTilt provides supportive specialist seating for individuals who are beginning to experience difficulties maintaining a stable seated posture.
A standard armchair or conventional rise-and-recline chair may eventually stop providing the level of support an individual requires. According to CareFlex, signs that additional seating support may be required can include:
- Forward sliding
- Lateral leaning
- Reduced sitting tolerance
- Increased need for repositioning assistance from a caregiver
The EasiTilt is designed to provide a more stable sitting posture while helping the individual remain engaged with their surroundings.
Tilt-in-Space for Postural Support
A central feature of the EasiTilt is its Tilt-in-Space functionality.
Rather than simply changing the angle of the backrest, Tilt-in-Space allows the whole seating system to tilt while maintaining body alignment.
CareFlex identifies potential benefits including:
- Supporting pelvic stability
- Pressure redistribution
- Fatigue management
- Easier repositioning by caregivers
The EasiTilt provides a Tilt-in-Space range from 7° to 27°.
Adjustable Seat Width & Seat Depth
Correct seat dimensions are important when configuring specialist seating.
The EasiTilt provides adjustable:
Seat Width: 400–500mm
Seat Depth: 400–560mm
Set-up indicators are incorporated to help configure the chair for the individual user. CareFlex highlights appropriate seat dimensions as important for pelvic stability, postural support and pressure distribution.
This adjustability also makes the EasiTilt particularly useful for assessment-led provision, allowing one core chair to accommodate a substantial range of user dimensions.
Pressure Redistributing Reflexion® Foam
The EasiTilt includes CareFlex Reflexion® foam as standard for pressure redistribution. For users requiring a different level of pressure care, CareFlex also offers optional seating solutions including:
- CareFlex WaterCell Technology® Seat Cushion – dynamic pressure care solution designed for individuals at increased risk of pressure injury.
- Docking Cushion – allows an alternative prescribed pressure-redistributing cushion to be integrated into the chair.
This gives the EasiTilt useful flexibility when an individual's pressure management requirements change or where a particular prescribed cushion needs to be accommodated.
Elevating & Negative-Angle Leg Rest
The EasiTilt features an elevating and negative-angle leg rest designed to support lower-limb positioning and comfort. The technical specification provides a leg-rest angle range of 65° to 150°.
An optional reinforced channel leg rest is also available to help centralise the legs and support improved lower-limb alignment.
Angle-Adjustable Flip-Up Footplate
An angle-adjustable flip-up footplate is fitted as standard.
It can accommodate a fixed range of ankle movement or support the feet towards a more neutral position, helping with comfort, stability and pressure care.
Optional accessories include:
- Footplate pad
- Footplate pillow
Removable Transfer-Assist Arms
Transfer-Assist arms are included as standard and can be fully removed.
This can help facilitate:
- Side transfers
- Sling application
- Cleaning
- Maintenance
Five Back Options
One of the EasiTilt's major configuration advantages is the choice of five back options.
EasiTilt Open Back
The Open Back provides a more open design that allows additional postural accessories to be fitted where required.
It can be configured with:
- Flat back with curved lateral pads
- Flat back with kidney pads
Lateral and kidney pads are available in small and medium sizes and are compatible specifically with the Open Back.
EasiTilt Wing Back
The Wing Back provides a winged design and can be specified with:
- Flat back
- Waterfall back
- Contoured back
- Cocoon back
This allows the back support to be selected according to individual postural support and comfort requirements.
NB: Lateral pads are not available with the Winged Back version.
Manual or Motorised EasiTilt
The EasiTilt is available with: Manual control or Motorised control.
The optional motorised version enables independent control of Tilt-in-Space and leg-rest elevation.
Four Fully Braked Castors
The standard specification includes four fully braked castors.
CareFlex also offers alternative castor arrangements:
- Four braked castors
- Three braked castors plus one directional-lock castor
- 125mm castor upgrade
These configurations are intended to support positioning and movement of the chair around the care environment.
Adjustable Push Handle
The EasiTilt incorporates a comfort push handle with adjustable height settings.
- 1005mm
- 1035mm
- 1065mm.
This provides useful adjustment for caregivers moving and positioning the chair.
