Collection: Pressure Care Chairs

Pressure care chairs are specialized seating solutions designed to prevent and manage pressure injuries for individuals who spend extended periods seated. These medical-grade chairs feature advanced pressure redistribution, positioning options, and support systems not found in standard seating.

Clinical Features

• Pressure Redistribution - Advanced cushioning and support systems
• Multiple Positioning Options - Tilt-in-space, recline, leg elevation
• Postural Support - Lateral supports, headrests, adjustable components
• Skin Protection - Breathable fabrics and pressure-relieving surfaces
• Clinical Design - Based on pressure care research and guidelines
• Caregiver Features - Access for care tasks, easy cleaning

Who Needs Pressure Care Seating?

Essential for individuals who:

• Have existing pressure injuries or high risk of developing them
• Cannot independently reposition in seated position
• Have reduced or absent sensation
• Spend most of their day in seated position
• Have complex postural or positioning needs
• Require multiple seating positions for pressure relief

Pressure Injury Prevention

Pressure injuries (pressure sores/ulcers) can develop in as little as 2-3 hours of continuous pressure. Specialized pressure care seating is a critical prevention strategy for at-risk individuals, distributing weight across a larger surface area and enabling position changes throughout the day.

Professional Assessment Required

Pressure care chairs require professional seating assessment by an occupational therapist or physiotherapist to ensure:

• Appropriate chair specification for individual needs
• Correct measurements and fitting
• Proper positioning and pressure relief
• Training for users and carers
• Clinical documentation for funding

NDIS & Healthcare Funding

Pressure care chairs are typically funded through NDIS Assistive Technology (high-cost items) with clinical justification and assessment. Our team works with prescribing clinicians to support the funding application process.

Expert Assessment & Delivery - All pressure care chairs include professional assessment coordination, delivery, setup, and comprehensive training on positioning and features.
