Lento Bariatric Care Chair
Building on the trusted design of our modular Lento Care Chair, the new Lento Bariatric Care Chair has been engineered to offer the same levels of comfort, with head-to-toe postural support, easy adjustment without tools, and in-built pressure care.
This new bariatric seating solution has a wider seat (up to 28 inches) and increased weight capacity (up to 45 stone) to accommodate larger body shapes and complex needs.
Designed for safe and easy use in hospitals, care homes, community care facilities, hospices, and private residences.
Product Features
Locking tilt in space
The locking tilt-in-space function pivots you back in the chair and redistributes their weight more evenly across contact areas, beneficial for pressure relief.
Backrest recline
The backrest has independent recline allowing easy repositioning and extra comfort.
Articulating leg rest
The extendable leg rest has a gel wrap to provide pressure relief to the lower limbs.
Angle adjustable footplate
The padded footplate is height and angle adjustable, helping to improve postural issues in the lower limbs, such as windswept feet or swelling.
Removeable arms
As well as being height adjustable, the arms can be completely removed to allow for easier side transfers.
Multiple backrest options
Waterfall, lateral or cocoon backrests are available to suit your individual needs. We have all the accessories you could need available in a bundle.
Completely adjustable
Seat depth, width and arm height can be easily adjusted to your preference, meaning you can be at your most comfortable. It also means it can be resized for multiple people.
Electric action
Allows you to individually control all the chair’s functionalities with a remote (and still has a 45 stone (285 kg) weight limit).
What makes the Lento Bariatric Care Chair special?
Tilt in space function
Our tilt in space functionality enables weight redistribution, meaning no more pain or aching pressure points, even after extended periods of sitting.
Articulating leg rest
The articulating leg rest has an extendable footplate and gel wrap, allowing you to take the pressure off your legs, helping to prevent pressure sores.
Fully adjustable fit
Seat depth: 13 - 24"| Seat width: 22 - 28" | Weight capacity: Up to 285kg (45 stone)
Built to provide tailored support to individuals with higher body weights and postural challenges. As our bariatric chair is fully adjustable, it enables extra comfort, as the chair is fitted to each individual. It also makes it appropriate for multi-user environments, as adjustments are quick, easy and don't require tools.
Designed for comfort
We know how important it is to be comfortable, especially when a lot of hours of the day are spent in a chair. Because of this every aspect of our bariatric chair has been designed to make you as comfortable as possible. As standard, our chair cushions are Visco foam which moulds to your body shape for improved comfort. However, this can be swapped for a cool-gel or alternating air cushion for those at higher risk of developing pressure injuries. On top of this, our fully adjustable chair ensures a perfect fit, every time.
Considered pressure relief
The soft four way stretch Dartex material (which is a medical fabric developed for the NHS) to all contact surfaces keeps the skin cool and hydrated, protecting the surface of the skin, preventing pressure sores.
Ideal for infection control
The unique modularity of the chair allows the seat and sides to be easily removed and magnetic cushions detached (no velcro), leaving the base of the chair exposed for cleaning. All materials can withstand rigorous and regular wiping with standard detergents, and the cushion covers can also be removed for machine washing.
Easy transfers
The removeable arms allow for easy side transfers.
Motor action
Our bariatric chair has an electric motor, allowing you to individually control all the chair's functionalities with a remote.
Multiple backrest options
Interchangeable back rests allow you to find the appropriate level of support needed. A waterfall backrest comes as standard but can be replaced with lateral or cocoon backrests. Waterfall backrests are great for reducing pressure on the spine, and they now come with magnetic attachments so they can be easily repositioned to suit the person’s posture. We have a bundle available of all the accessories you could need for your care chair!
