Wheelchair and Geri-Chair Positioning Lateral Support Assembly from NYOrtho

The NYOrtho Lateral Support Assembly 3-Part System is specifically engineered to enhance the seating position and overall comfort of patients who use wheelchairs or geri-chairs. This system is particularly advantageous for patients at risk of lateral leaning, as it offers essential support to help maintain an upright and stable position. The system includes twin lateral foam wings that can be adjusted in any direction, providing a personalized fit tailored to the specific needs of each patient. These wings are covered with a high-performance stretch fabric designed to promote moisture evaporation, thereby ensuring that patients remain dry and comfortable throughout their use.

The installation of the NYOrtho Lateral Support Assembly is straightforward, thanks to its 3-part system that conveniently fits over existing slingbacks. The lateral wings attach securely to the back of the chair with a hook and loop mechanism, allowing for quick and easy adjustments. This feature is particularly useful for caregivers, as it enables them to make rapid modifications without causing discomfort to the patient.

Moreover, the fabric used in the NYOrtho Lateral Support Assembly is antimicrobial, water-resistant, and mildew-resistant, ensuring a high level of hygiene and durability. This makes the system suitable for long-term use in various healthcare settings. The high-performance pressure-reducing fabric not only aids in moisture control but also cools patient pressure points, promoting healing and reducing the risk of skin breakdown.

Designed to fit both wheelchairs and geri-chairs, this system comes in two depth options, 4 in., and 6 in., to accommodate different patient needs. By combining advanced materials with thoughtful design, the NYOrtho Lateral Support Assembly provides a comprehensive solution for improving patient comfort and positioning. This makes it an invaluable asset in healthcare environments where patient support and well-being are paramount. Whether in a hospital, nursing home, or home care setting, the NYOrtho Lateral Support Assembly 3-Part System stands out as a reliable and effective tool for enhancing patient care.
