What to Consider When Renting a Hip Chair from Homepro Medical

Patients who have recently had hip replacement surgeries should not sit on low chairs. Patients should instead consider sitting on an elevated hip chair. A hip chair is a high chair with low back that enables patient's to get on and off the chair without stress to the hip joints. All hip chairs have armrests and footrest, which makes it easier for the patient to sit upright without leaning forward. Some of our hip chairs have an adjustable height footrest to increase comfort while sitting on the rental hip chair.We now offer a sturdy heavy duty bariatric hip chair with a weight capacity of 500 lbs. and a seat width of 24″. This heavy duty hip chair has a retractable footplate to make it easier to get on and off of the chair.
