Why Plus?
Individuals with larger body sizes (in height and/or weight) require specialised care and suitable equipment, posing challenges for occupational therapists, care facilities and providers. Limited resources affect timely care delivery, schooling and care home admissions, and hospital discharges.
Developed alongside input from clinical professionals, Smirthwaite’s Plus range features a selection of plus products which are meticulously designed to enhance the quality of life for both users and carers, promoting equitable access to care and support. These designs reflect Smirthwaite’s expertise and provide numerous clinical benefits while promoting social inclusion and independence.
Each chair should be tailored to the individual user, providing proper posture support and ensuring even weight distribution on the support surface for comfort and independence. Seating should be based on the individual’s body shape and size determined during assessment to prevent potential harm. Correct chair setup influences positioning, affecting the risk of secondary issues like postural deterioration and pressure injuries. Smirthwaite plus seating therefore helps individuals achieve optimal sitting posture comfortably, engage with their surroundings, perform daily activities, and improve physiological function.
The plus range includes high specification postural support chairs and a heavy duty changing bench suitable for both school and home environments.
