Integra Shell Chair
The Integra Shell Chair is a specialist tilt-in-space seating solution designed to support safe patient transfers while delivering exceptional comfort for individuals who spend extended periods seated. Developed specifically for nursing homes, hospitals, care homes and healthcare environments, it combines pressure-relieving positioning with smooth mobility to enhance both user wellbeing and caregiver efficiency.
Featuring a gas-assisted tilt-in-space mechanism, the Integra Shell Chair gently tilts from -3° to +28°, helping users transition safely from sitting to standing with minimal effort. The forward tilt function promotes greater independence while reducing the physical demands placed on caregivers during transfers.
For users requiring prolonged seating, the chair offers a supportive reclined position that helps maintain comfort throughout the day. Its ergonomically designed shell seat provides excellent postural support, while the adjustable positioning helps improve pressure distribution and promotes a more comfortable sitting experience.
The angle-adjustable leg rest automatically retracts beneath the seat as the chair tilts forward, allowing users to stand more naturally without obstruction. An ergonomically shaped headrest attaches securely with Velcro, making it simple to adjust for individual comfort and support. A lap belt is fitted as standard to provide additional security during use.
Caregivers benefit from intuitive controls, with an ergonomically designed push handle and hand-operated lever allowing effortless adjustments to the chair's position. The Integra model features high-quality 12.5 cm castors with 360° rotation and rear brakes for excellent manoeuvrability indoors, while the Selectis version includes larger 30 cm rear wheels with a centralised braking system for improved outdoor performance.
A directional wheel helps maintain a straight travel path during transport, making the chair easier to manoeuvre through corridors and busy care environments. The open frame design also provides excellent hoist access, supporting safe moving and handling procedures where patient lifting equipment is required.
Finished with durable brown leather-style upholstery on the exterior and breathable Dartex® two-way stretch fabric across the seating surfaces, the Integra Shell Chair is easy to clean while providing a comfortable, moisture-permeable seating environment suitable for everyday clinical use.
Designed for healthcare professionals and long-term care settings, the Integra Shell Chair delivers safe transfers, adaptable positioning and dependable comfort in one practical seating solution.
