Supportive tilt chair designed for comfort and safer transfers
The Integra Shell Chair is designed to help users feel supported and secure, particularly when sitting for longer periods. Its reclined positioning, adjustable headrest and supportive seat and back materials help maintain comfort throughout the day.
For transfers and repositioning, the chair includes a gas-assisted tilt mechanism to support easier standing from a seated position. The legrest is angle adjustable and removable, and it automatically moves under the seat when the chair is tilted forward, helping to keep transfers smoother and more manageable.
Maneuverability is supported by high-quality brake wheels with 360° rotation, plus a directional wheel to help with straight-line transfers. Durable, wipe-clean PVC upholstery makes the chair well-suited to regular use in care environments, and a rear storage pocket provides a convenient place for personal items.
