Specialist Support for Bariatric Care Needs
The Ashburton is a robust rise and recline chair designed to support individuals with bariatric needs and higher weight requirements, promoting comfort, dignity, and safety for both the individual and those supporting them.
It offers a weight capacity of up to 40 stone, with a 25 stone leg lift system, combining strength with practical functionality. Supportive, reinforced arms assist with safer transfers and repositioning.
Reflex foam seat cushions are provided as standard, offering consistent comfort and support. Vapour‑permeable, waterproof fabrics provide durability while incorporating a low‑friction surface to help minimise shear. Removable seat wraps and cushions also support effective infection prevention and control.
An integrated battery backup system ensures the chair can be operated safely in the event of a power interruption.
For individuals requiring specific postural support, the Ashburton can be configured with Dartington back options on request.
