The Brooklyn is a staple for care homes with its smart design and sheer simplicity. The Brooklyn is a reclining portering chair equipped with a 'Single Tilt In Space' mechanism able to maintain a preferred hip angle while redistributing pressure away from the high risk pressure points on the bottom. Fully customisable with a range of pressure cushions, backrests and fabrics the Brooklyn represents excellent value for money and thanks to its narrow design and D-Rings can be used for transporting clients short distances within a residence with ease.
The Brooklyn is a prescription 'comfy' chair able to manage clients at low risk through to high risk of skin breakdown and pressure ulceration. A wide range of pressure cushions including different densities of visco foam, different types of gels and static and dynamic air ensure different risk levels can be managed correctly. Similarly a range of seven removable and interchangeable back cushion styles mean one chair can work for multiple clients or can be future-proofed as a core piece of equipment for many different residents.
The Brooklyn has been designed to be moved within a care environment to reduce the amount of hoists a client has to undergo during the day, but is also great for supporting 'sit to stand' transfers. Typical conditions managed by The Brooklyn comfy chair include general frailty, arthritis, neurological conditions and stroke.
Available in six standard frame sizes The Brooklyn can accommodate clients with hip widths of 15.5" up to 19.5" and with two different seat heights of 18.5" or 20.5" the ideal height for transfers will be recommended. An optional sliding footplate ensures a stable foot platform during transit while large castors ensure easy transition across door thresholds.
