Geri-Chair Lateral Support

Lateral Trunk Support for Wheelchairs

The Geri-Chair Lateral Support is a positioning device used to help correct or prevent lateral leaning while sitting in a geri-chair recliner. The one-inch thick foam padding provides comfortable support while the plastic frame helps keep a rigid structure. These side wings can also make a significant contribution in preventing pressure sores in any geri-chair.

Easily Accommodates Various Body Widths

The lateral trunk support includes side pads that may be easily adjusted to accommodate various body widths to provide maximum support to suit pediatric to bariatric individuals. The side pads may also be adjusted so that they are below the axilla and do not interfere with the patient's ability to hand propel a wheelchair. The Geri-Chair Lateral Support helps improve sitting posture when the chair is in an upright position.

Wipe Clean with Spray Cleanser or Disinfectant

Set the panels so that the distance between the side pads accommodates the width of your patients back. Secure the Geri-Chair Lateral Support with adjustable straps and quick-release buckles. The side pads, backrest pad, and adjustment panels may be cleaned with a spray cleanser or disinfected and wiped clean.
