Why invest in a bariatric-specific portering chair?

Bariatric patient transfers place additional demands on both equipment and staff. Using a chair that is purpose built for bariatric use helps to:

• Reduce manual handling risk for porters and clinical staff
• Improve patient comfort and dignity during transfers
• Increase stability and control when moving patients
• Support safer, more efficient internal transport

While bariatric chairs typically cost more than standard portering chairs, they play an important role in reducing injury risk, improving patient experience and supporting compliance with manual handling policies.

Can you trial the Bariatric TransitFlow Chair?

Yes. Felgains can arrange demonstrations and trials for hospitals and healthcare facilities that want to assess suitability before purchasing.

This allows portering teams and manual handling leads to evaluate the chair in real working conditions.
