Designed for comfort and pressure management control it comes with a Standard Dual Motor offering a wide choice of positions, adjustable waterfall back which is very useful for those with mild kyphosis, scoliosis and reduced muscle mass and interchangeable seat cushions with different pressure management options.

Also finding the right fit couldn’t be easier with the following made to measure options:

Available as an Express Chair, click our express van to find out more!

The Multi Bari plus sized chair is suitable for either a health or home environment.

It offers clients and carers movement options that support good posture, pressure management and independent living. The dual motor mechanism is ideal for those clients:

  • who are unable to independently shift their weight either in a reclined or seated position.
  • with poor skin integrity where there is a high risk of skin breakdown.
  • with complex needs that require carer support to change position without putting their own health at risk whilst carrying out positional changes.

The back recline works independently of the leg rest enabling a wide range of relaxing positions, from sitting upright and raising the leg rest to relieve tired legs to a fully reclined resting position. The leg elevation can support reduction in oedema and fluid retention. This reduced fluid in the lower limbs allows a user to maintain their standing and walking abilities. The rise position supports standing, enabling the person to walk away more easily.

The three removable waterfall cushions can be repositioned and can be useful for those with mild kyphosis, scoliosis and reduced muscle mass on their back.

The chair comes with a range of made to measure options:

Seat Height ensuring that the client’s feet are flat on the floor and that their thighs are in contact with the full length of the seat cushion to provide a comfortable sitting position.

Seat Width supporting correct pelvic positioning and stability as well as reducing any pressure areas especially around the hip joint. Always allow adequate room for natural movement and different changes of clothing.

Seat Depth ensuring that the thighs are supported throughout their length but not too long, or too short so as to avoid pressure points at the back of the knees and on the Ischial Tuberosities.

The chair can also be used as part of a 24-hour postural care programme to reduce the risk of skin breakdown and its features also ensure that a user can be repositioned to allow for optional occupational performance, thus allowing an individual to engage in activities they want to do.

For more information on seating posture and assessment please see our downloadable Clinical Posture Guide in the Brochure Section.

The Multi Bari comes with the following key features as standard. There is the option to purchase additional features and these are detailed in the Optional Accessories Section.

For an overview of Bariatric seating assessment see our downloadable PDF in the Brochure Section.  Here you will also be able to download a copy of our Clinical Posture Guide.

Mechanism

The Multi Bari is available with a Standard Dual Motor mechanism.  The two motors allow the back rest to move independently of the leg rest enabling a wide range of relaxing positions, from sitting upright and raising the leg rest to relieve tired legs, to a fully reclined resting position. Leg section elevation can support reduction in oedema and fluid retention. This reduced fluid in the lower limbs allows a user to maintain their standing and walking abilities.

When the seat is in the rise position it tilts transferring the user’s weight to their knees and taking away the pressure on the hips allowing them to walk away from the chair more easily.

For further details on this mechanism, with video clips, visit the Mechanisms Section.
