Kirton Duo Specialist Tilt-in-Space Chair
The Kirton Duo Specialist Seating Range has been developed to provide advanced postural support, pressure management, and adaptable positioning for individuals with complex seating requirements. Available as the Duo Major, Duo Minor, and Duo Mini, this highly configurable seating system is designed to support users who may struggle to maintain a midline position, require additional stability, or are at risk of developing an atypical body shape.
Combining clinical functionality with exceptional comfort, the Duo range offers a dynamic seating solution suitable for care homes, rehabilitation settings, healthcare environments, and home use. Its extensive adjustment capabilities allow therapists and caregivers to tailor the chair to the individual, ensuring optimal support and positioning throughout the day.
Every aspect of the Duo has been carefully engineered to promote correct posture while maximising comfort. Adjustable dimensions and positioning features help accommodate changing clinical needs, making the chair a long-term seating solution for users with evolving requirements.
Advanced Tilt-in-Space Positioning
The Duo incorporates tilt-in-space functionality and legrest elevation to provide dynamic positioning options that assist with pressure redistribution, comfort, and posture management. These features enable caregivers to make precise adjustments that help support users throughout the day while reducing pressure on vulnerable areas.
The combination of tilt and elevation functions helps promote comfort during extended periods of sitting and can assist users who require regular repositioning.
Highly Adjustable Seating System
To ensure a personalised fit, the Duo offers adjustment of key seating dimensions including seat depth, seat width, armrest height, and backrest height. This flexibility allows the chair to be configured to suit a wide range of users and clinical requirements.
By providing the correct seating geometry, the Duo helps encourage proper posture, improved comfort, and enhanced stability.
Enhanced Head and Upper Body Support
The split-wing headrest has been designed to provide excellent support for the head, neck, and shoulders while maintaining comfort and positioning. Adjustable headrest settings allow caregivers to tailor support levels to meet individual needs.
This additional support can be particularly beneficial for users who require greater postural control or spend prolonged periods seated.
Pressure Care Compatibility
The Duo can be supplied with the Intelligent Air cushion system, providing advanced pressure relief for users at very high risk of pressure injury development or those with existing Grade IV pressure injuries.
Alternatively, users can continue to use their preferred pressure-relieving cushion within the seat module or on a flat seat board, ensuring continuity of care and familiarity.
Practical for Users and Caregivers
Removable armrests allow easier side transfers and improved accessibility for caregivers, while the chair's tool-free adjustment system enables quick configuration changes without specialist equipment. This makes the Duo simple to adapt as user needs evolve over time.
Combining versatility, clinical integrity, and user comfort, the Kirton Duo Specialist Seating Range remains a trusted solution for complex postural management and long-term seating support.
