Advanced Pressure Care Seating for High-Care and Extended Seated Use

The Shoalhaven Aircell Recliner is a high-care pressure relief recliner designed for users who require advanced pressure redistribution, supportive postural positioning, and extended seated comfort in aged care, home care, hospital, and rehabilitation settings. Furthermore, it suits users at risk of pressure injuries, those with complex postural support needs, and individuals who spend significant periods of time seated throughout the day. As a result, the Shoalhaven delivers clinically meaningful seating support that addresses both comfort and pressure care simultaneously.

AirCell Cushioning and Memory Foam for Pressure Redistribution

The Shoalhaven uses AirCell cushioning combined with slow-release memory foam to help redistribute pressure across the seating surface. Consequently, it reduces peak pressure at high-risk anatomical areas, supporting users who are at risk of or managing existing pressure injuries. This pressure redistribution technology makes the Shoalhaven particularly appropriate for users with limited mobility, reduced sensation, or conditions that increase pressure injury risk during extended seated periods. Furthermore, the combination of AirCell and memory foam delivers a comfortable and supportive seating experience that adapts to the individual user’s body shape over time.

Tilt-in-Space Recline and Leg Elevation for Posture and Circulation

The Tilt-in-Space recline system allows the entire seating surface to tilt without changing the hip angle, consequently maintaining postural alignment during repositioning. This is a clinically important feature for users who require regular pressure relief or who cannot independently reposition themselves during the day. High leg elevation furthermore assists with fluid retention management, supporting users with lower limb oedema or circulatory conditions. Together, these features help improve posture, circulation, and overall seated comfort throughout the care day.

Shoalhaven Aircell Recliner Postural Support Features

The Shoalhaven includes a supportive headrest, lumbar support, and lateral positioning to deliver comprehensive postural stability during seated use. Adjustable and removable side wings furthermore allow clinicians to configure the chair to meet individual postural support requirements. Consequently, the Shoalhaven suits users with a range of postural presentations, from those requiring light lateral support to those with more complex positioning needs. The compact postural seating design additionally makes the chair practical for use in both residential aged care rooms and home care environments where space may be limited.

Healthcare-Grade Upholstery for Infection Control and Durability

The super-soft multidirectional stretch fabric delivers comfortable seating while remaining fluid resistant, antibacterial, non-allergenic, and easy to maintain. Therefore, the Shoalhaven meets the hygiene and infection control requirements of aged care facilities, hospitals, and clinical settings. The durable cover material furthermore supports long-term use in demanding care environments, reducing the frequency and cost of upholstery replacement over time.

Transfer-Friendly Design for Safer Carer and User Interactions

The low seat height supports safer and more comfortable transfers for both users and carers. Furthermore, the chair suits use with standing machines and lifting hoists, consequently integrating with existing manual handling equipment in care facilities and home environments. Locking swivel castors allow easy repositioning of the chair within a room, while an optional powered recline system with dual actuators provides greater flexibility for facilities or home care settings where manual recline adjustment is not practical. The Shoalhaven supports a safe working load of 130kg.

Australian Made for Quality and Long-Term Reliability

The Shoalhaven Aircell Recliner is proudly designed and made in Australia. Consequently, it reflects local aged care standards and clinical requirements, and supports Australian manufacturing. This provides care providers and prescribing clinicians with confidence in the quality, compliance, and long-term reliability of the product.
