Omega

Product description

The Omega marries comfort with guaranteed strength and durability.

Originally designed for those with Huntington’s Disease and other neurological conditions, the Omega has become a recognised and valued seating system for many other caring environments.

Comfort and security underpins the Omega aiming to provide a robust, durable chair that can withstand demanding and severe movements yet provide a safe and relaxed seated position.

By understanding the needs of both users and carers, the Omega ensures peace of mind that an optimum seated position for relaxing as well as for activities such as eating can be achieved comfortably and securely. The uniquely linked back and seat recline enables the seat angle to increase as the back angle reclines to guarantee a consistently good seated position.

Furthermore, the reflexion foam sculpted backrest moulds itself to the contours of the user to help disperse body weight more evenly over a greater surface area providing superior comfort and support. With the ability to adjust its back height the Omega is suitable for a wide range of individuals.

The Omega's contoured seat has the option of different pressure relieving seat modules depending on individual user's pressure management requirements. From the highly advanced Intelli-Gel® seat module for those at very high risk of developing pressure problems through to the Transflo Gel cushion and Reflexion foam seat modules for those at medium to high risk.

In addition, the Omega legrest is also made from Reflexion foam. It is securely fixed to the chair by strong, flexible attachments and provides full leg support. For the more mobile of users an optional sliding footrest can be added to the Omega for correct positioning of the feet particulary when an individual is being moved whilst seated in the chair without the legrest attached.

The Omega's metal sub-frame is guaranteed for 5 years assuring its strength and durability.
