This unique alternating pressure recliner geri-chair air mattress system allows for patients who are at high risk for pressure sores to be placed in a variety of mobile devices. Patients are no longer confined to bed for the whole day due to risks of sitting without proper pressure redistribution.

Alternating air recliner mattress systems can be integrated into a geriatric chair, recliner or standard high-back wheelchair. Twenty bladders gently alternate, providing low interface pressures in addition to comfortably supporting the patient.
