How to use the HydroFlex Chair

Setting up a Careflex HydroFlex chair is quite straightforward. Below are some of the guidelines you can follow:

Seat Depth

You must ensure that you are preventing sacral sitting by all means by ensuring that your user weight is distributed evenly. Set the depth and make sure that the patient’s back rests on the back cushion.

Recline Angle

The recline is important because it will help to adjust the user’s hips. You can adjust to an upright position if the patient is eating. When the patient is resting, be sure to recline the back angle.

Leg rest

It is always recommended that you lower the foot rest before the user can move from the chair. Additionally, you can always elevate the leg rest depending on your patient’s needs.
