Careflex AlphaCare Chair

The AlphaCare is Careflex's all-new comfortable yet robust seating system, developed with a key  emphasis on safety and stability. The chair has been designed for individuals with postural  instability and significant movements, such as those with Huntington’s disease, dementia, and other neurological and neuromuscular conditions, in all health and social care settings. Its linked seat and back recline function adjusts the seat angle as the back reclines, promoting  postural stability and pelvic positioning. The contoured back supports a midline position, aiding physiological function and engagement. Supportive armrests provide lateral feedback for added security. The ergonomic block leg rest supports the lower limbs, promoting comfort and energy conservation. The leg rest block, secured by the intuitive CareFlex EasySecure system, is easily removable for transfers and activities. Reflexion® foam in the seat and leg rest also addresses the pressure care needs of individuals with limited movement.

The AlphaCare seat is made to order, for more information or to request a demonstration and assessment, click the link and one of our product specialists will be in touch. We work with therapists and healthcare professionals and can complete joint assessments on site or at your client's home.
