Lento Neuro Patient Care Chair
The cocooning Lento Neuro care chair is for people with neurological conditions (especially those with involuntary movement).
It was carefully designed in collaboration with experienced neurologists to address the durability and complex postural and pressure care needs of those with Huntington’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Dementia, and more.
The incredibly comfortable cocoon-shaped seat makes the user feel supported and ‘hugged’, calming ataxic movements whilst also ensuring there is no risk of entrapment. The front pivot tilt in space enables low positioning perfect for sleeping, or otherwise a higher position for recreational activities.
Designed for use in care homes, community and multi-user care facilities, hospices, and private residences. Available for purchase or hire.
Product Features
Calming design
Our 'cocoon' shaped seat gives the sensation of being hugged, helping you feel safe, secure and comfortable.
Angle adjustable
The adjustable back angle and front pivot tilt in space allows you to comfortably lie back, whether it's for a relax or to catch some sleep.
Completely secure
The solid steel frame is mounted on a wide wheelbase with four strong braked castors, meaning maximum stability, especially important for those with severe involuntary movements.
Considered pressure relief
The soft four way stretch dartex material protects the surface of the skin, whilst keeping it cool and hydrated. We also have various options of cushion material to suit the pressure sore risk levels.
Additional foot block
Our foot block is cushioned for comfort and allows users to extend their legs in front of them.
Multiple accessories
We have a range of accessories available, if needed. For example, harnesses or belts are available upon request for patients with the most severe neurological conditions and elderly or disabled patients who are at risk of sliding out of their care chair.
Range of head and back rests
To ensure the user is at their most comfortable and properly supported, we have a range of head and back rests that can be added to the chair.
What makes the Lento Neuro special?
Calming sensation
The uniquely comfortable 'cocoon' shaped seat gives the sensation of being hugged, making the user feel extremely safe and secure which can in turn reduce ataxic movements, and greatly improve mental health.
Seamless and safe design
The seamless design of the Lento Neuro makes it free from recesses or possible areas of entrapment, always keeping people with involuntary movements safe. This is added to by the detachable and channelled footrest (an optional additional item), which helps keep the legs in position and align the person centrally in the chair, supporting their full body profile.
Widely adjustable
The chair width, depth and angle adjustment allows it to be adapted to each individual person’s needs as their condition changes over time. It also means it can be used in multi-user care environments where several low mobility patients could be using the chair over time.
Front pivot tilt in space
The tilt in space enables the user to comfortably lie back and have a good sleep. The comfort offered by this chair meant that our trial user with Huntington’s Disease, based at Vida Healthcare’s Huntington’s Unit in Harrogate, could get a full high quality night’s sleep every night in the chair, more than when she was in her bed! This comfort is added to by the adjustable back angle, from 110 to 125 degrees.
Various foot rest options
The Lento Neuro comes with a choice of optional extra footrests, including the Foot Block or the Foot Plate.
The Foot Block is cushioned for comfort and allows the user to be able to extend their legs out in front of them. It has four strong braked castors and channelled cushions for maximum support, minimising the sliding of legs.
The Foot Plate is a low plate that ensures constant contact with the bottom of the user's feet.
The footrests fasten securely and can be wheeled with the chair, or detached when not in use.
Extremely durable
The deliberately overengineered solid steel frame on the Lento Neuro is mounted on a wide wheelbase with braked castors, ensuring maximum stability for people with severe involuntary movements. With the footrest attached, this chair boasts a total of 8 strong castors!
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. We also have different options available for the filling of our cushions, from Levitex® foam for medium risk users up to alternating air pillows for those at very high risk.
Ideal for infection control
Our Lento Neuro comes in two different versions - the hospital spec or the community spec. The hospital version comes with magnetic closures that adhere to strict hospital and clinical hygiene standards, whereas the community spec has velcro closures as standard.
Both specifications have cushion covers that can be fully removed for machine washing and can withstand rigorous wiping with regular detergents.
Multiple accessory and backrest options
We have a range of options available to help the user sit comfortably. Whether it's a spinal alignment cushion, a horseshoe headrest or a change to the backrest, we have everything you could need.
