COBALT Health introduces the Gaia chair from Navailles to its new EuroClinic range. The Gaia chair is a medical treatment chair which adapts to all conditions, based on the concept of double ergonomics. Made in France, the Gaia chair is made to the highest quality.  

The Gaia chair is a mobile and fixed height medical convalescent chair, remarkable for its high-quality construction and finish, versatility and ergonomics. The backrest and seat have synchronised adjustment, incorporating seat tilt, to deliver terrific patient support, comfort and weight distribution. It is perfectly suited to clinical settings, with careful consideration given to both carer and patient alike, while hygiene and infection control has been considered on all levels.  

Fine details make the Gaia chair stand out from other chairs available on the market:

• the shape of the backrest and seat cushion is designed for use in convalescent settings to offer comfort and support
• the footrest easily slides out using a foot lever so that the carer does not need to bend over to pull it out
• the legrest is length adjustable to provide the right support for the patient
• the headrest can easily be removed and features a height-adjustable neck cushion
• the armrests on both sides are height adjustable and can be lowered to the height of the seat to make side transfers easy.

Product Details

• Suitable for tall users - high-back option for taller users available
• Pressure care cushion - advanced pressure care cushion, featuring multi-density gel and foam pockets to reduce the risk of pressure sores
• Large smart locking castors - rear castors feature combined breaking which can be activated from either the left or right sides. They are simple to adjust between directional lock or free rolling. Large dual or single-wheeled castors make the chair incredibly portable and easy to manoeuvre
• Recline and tilt - synchronised adjustment of the backrest recline and seat tilt offers reassurance to patient and carer alike. An extendable legrest can be quickly deployed to offer patients relaxation and recuperation. Recline, tilt and legrest are all hydraulically actuated, meaning no power supply is required
• Weight-bearing foot plate - the spring-loaded design allows the patient to stand on the footplate to enable easy entering and exiting of the chair without risk of the chair tipping. The foot plate can be retracted by the carer using their foot, meaning they are not required to bend

The armrests have single-handed height adjustment and lower all the way down to seat level to allow side transfers, or for dining. The armrests can support an optional meal tray.
