Each Arene chair is tailored to the client’s needs; whether it’s the various backrest options and pressure relief, or colour schemes and upholsteries, the Arene can be made to suit anyone.
The Arene Mk II can easily be customised to suit any existing decor thanks to the wide variety of upholstery and materials that it can come in. With a Dartex covering on the seat areas, the rise and recline chair is easy to wipe down.
The outer parts of the chair (including the armrests) are upholstered in a different colour, with a contrasting stripe running from the base of the armrests all the way up to headrest.
This combination is a great way to incorporate specific colour schemes and patterns, making the furniture feel more homely and in place in hospices and other care environments.
For places where infection control is a top priority, we’ve designed a version of the Arene that meets all your needs.
The cushions are attached to the chair magnetically so there’s no need for velcro. The handset is also fixed to the side of the chair with a magnet so there’s no extra fabric or stitching needed. This also means that there’s no extra nooks or crannies where bacteria can harbour and grow.
The base cushion snaps into place and you then fold the cushion over the top. The backrest cushions are then put into place and attached with a magnetic strip across the top.
The head cushion is then attached above this with the magnetic strip across the top of the chair.
The Arene Mk II comes in three different models to suit every prospective user:
A stylish rise and recline chair designed for even the toughest of environments with smaller castors.
This model has large wheels and a push handle to enable patients to be wheeled from room to room.
The perfect rise and recline chair for bariatric clients including large castors and a push handle for easy manoeuvrability.
Choose between three backrest options for your Arene chair:
A sleek, modern backrest with some lumbar support. The neck cushion option comes as standard with this backrest.
A soft backrest with adjustable cushions. Not recommended for use with the Drop Arm armrest option.
Offers soft lateral support. Not recommended for use with the drop arm armrest option.
Armrests
There are two armrest styles to choose from on the Arene:
Modern sculpted armrests, with a soft flat top to ensure patient’s arms don’t slip off and are correctly cushion and supported.
These drop arms lower at the press of a button to enable side transfers.
When it comes to choosing the way the Arene Mk II reclines, there are 3 mechanism options to choose from:
Provides a two-way, tilt-in-space action that gives high leg elevation with the occupant experiencing friction or shear as the seat to back angle remains constant. This is controlled through an uncomplicated two button handset.
Utilises two motors, operated by a four-buttoned handset to allow independent legrest and backrest operation.
Enables independent backrest operation with the addition of a tilt-in-space recline motion. The tilt-in-space movement significantly enhances comfort by minimising the amount of friction and shear.
Mounted on the top of the chair, this reading lamp can be switched on and off with just a touch.
This option can be fixed on to the arm of the Arene Mk II, and gives the user a chance to use their tablet with no additional neck strain or postural problems.
An optional USB charging port can be fitted into the side of the chair to give the patient an easily accessible way to keep all their gadgets on full battery.
These are fitted on our Arene Mobile and Bariatric models for easier mobility and sturdy positioning.
This will provide excellent safety measures for all caregivers, and is fitted in the cushion itself to signify when a patient has stood up from the Arene Mk II.
Ensure absolute relaxation with built-in heat and massage features!
This extra protective barrier keeps the backrest of your Arene well-guarded if it reclined against a wall.
These castors incorporate a unique self-locking braking system. To move the chair, simply hold down the lever on the push handle on the back.
A rechargeable battery system which enables the chair to be used without trailing wires.
Include a footplate in your bespoke Arene Mk II to provide excellent leg support to any user.
