Pressure ulcers can occur when the interface pressure between the skin and the seating surface prevent proper blood flow. Four alternating pressure 3.5" bladders gently alternate to lower interface pressures in addition to comfortably supporting the patient. The bladders provide proper seating comfort, pressure redistribution and support where it is needed most.
The portable Chair-Air™ AC/DC Pump allows your patient to be totally mobile. This makes it perfect for use during dialysis. A rechargeable battery backup keeps this system working up to 6 hours per charge, based on the patient’s weight.
In addition to prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers in wheelchairs, the 9700CAF is used extensively in recliners for those receiving dialysis or chemotherapy to prevent pressure ulcers and improve comfort during the long treatments. The 9700CAF fits most Lazy Boy Recliners, Geri-Chairs and Lift Chairs
