Lumex Powered Bariatric Clinical Care Recliner by Graham Field
The Lumex Powered Bariatric Clinical Care Recliner by Graham Field is a heavy-duty, electrically powered clinical recliner designed for bariatric, extended-care, acute-care, rehabilitation, dialysis, oncology, infusion, postoperative, and other healthcare environments.
The Lumex Powered Bariatric Clinical Care Recliner by Graham Field is a heavy-duty clinical recliner designed to provide comfortable, adjustable positioning for bariatric patients in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, dialysis facilities, oncology departments, infusion therapy, postoperative care, and other healthcare environments. The FR588W supports up to 700 lb (317.52 kg) evenly distributed and features a powered four-function hand pendant for infinite positioning. The backrest and legrest can be adjusted independently, allowing caregivers and patients to achieve a comfortable seating position. A rechargeable battery provides backup operation in the event of a power failure, while a caregiver-activated Trendelenburg mechanism provides rapid positioning when needed.
Designed with patient transfers in mind, the recliner features self-storing drop arms that facilitate lateral transfers between adjacent surfaces. Two fold-down, flush-mount side tables provide convenient work or personal-item surfaces and have smooth surfaces for easier cleaning. Fully upholstered arms, a 26.5-inch-wide seat, an included headrest pillow, and a rear push handle further enhance patient comfort and caregiver convenience. Five-inch casters, including two rear swivel wheel-locking casters and two fixed front wheels, support movement and positioning within clinical environments. With its 38-inch overall width, 700-lb capacity, powered positioning, battery backup, and bariatric transfer features, the Lumex Powered Bariatric Clinical Care Recliner is designed for demanding clinical and extended-care applications.
Lumex Powered Bariatric Geri Chair Features
It controls the powered positioning system. It provides adjustable positioning so the patient can select a comfortable position rather than being limited to only a few fixed recline positions. A major advantage is that the legrest can be raised or lowered independently of the backrest, allowing the caregiver or patient to achieve a more customized seating position.
Unlike a conventional three-position clinical recliner, the powered FR588W provides infinite recline positioning within its operating range. This allows the patient to select a position that is most comfortable for sitting, resting, treatment, or recovery.
The recliner also provides a fourth position: Trendelenburg, or shock position. Unlike the electrically controlled patient positioning, Trendelenburg is caregiver activated using a quick-release trigger mounted at the rear of the chair. This allows the caregiver to rapidly position the recliner when required. The manufacturer describes the gas-cylinder mechanism as providing quick Trendelenburg positioning and improved lift assistance.
The legrest and backrest can be raised and lowered independently, giving the caregiver greater control over patient positioning and allowing the user to adjust lower-leg support without necessarily changing the back angle.
The recliner incorporates a rechargeable battery pack designed to provide backup operation during a power failure and allow operation away from a wall outlet for positioning functions. This provides an additional level of flexibility in clinical environments where the chair may need to be repositioned or adjusted without immediate access to an electrical outlet.
The FR588W is specifically designed for bariatric patients and supports up to 700 lb / 317.52 kg. The capacity is specified by Graham Field as evenly distributed.
The FR588W incorporates self-storing, easy-to-actuate drop arms designed to facilitate lateral patient transfers. The drop-arm design can make it easier to transfer patients between the recliner and the Bed, Wheelchair, stretcher, and Other adjacent seating surfaces
The FR588W is equipped with fully upholstered arms, providing a softer contact surface for bariatric patients during prolonged sitting. The wide arm configuration also contributes to the recliner's overall bariatric seating design.
Two self-storing, fold-down side tables are built into the recliner. The tables: Fold away when not required, Sit flush with the chair arms, Provide convenient surfaces for clinical supplies or personal items, Have smooth surfaces for easier cleaning, and Can be operated by the caregiver.
A rear push handle helps caregivers move the recliner through clinical environments and assists with patient transport.
The FR588W comes with an attaching headrest pillow for additional head and neck support. Graham Field's product literature specifically identifies the headrest pillow as included with the recliner.
