Hip Chairs

Patients beginning to mobilize during the post-operative phase of hip replacement surgery often have problems when moving from the sitting position to a standing one, called the Sit to Stand Maneuver. Most Orthopedic physicians are cautious about patient self-ambulation, since often their goal is to maintain hip flexion below 90 degrees.

SunMed Medical Systems’ Hip Chair line, available in both standard and bariatric models, is designed to reduce the patient effort, and staff risk associated with moving from a “sitting” position to a “standing” position.

This is NOT a lift chair! Rather, it is designed to promote patient self-reliance, and reduce the risk of staff injuries in assisting patients to stand. These units are available as rental units or as a purchased item.
