The open design of the chassis and pushbike handles allows carers to get close to the backrest. This is especially useful for upper-limb therapy, crossing midline, administering care and calming the user after an epileptic fit or when anxious.

With the electric hi-lo base. users can smoothly raise and lower the chair to the desired height with a user-operated remote control. It’s quiet also, helping those who are sensitive to sound.

The universal tray is easily attached to the armrests. The tray adjusts with the armrests to allow for use on all seat widths and also in depth, providing the best fit possible for all sized users.

Developed alongside input from clinical professionals, other features of the Asiento include a bodypoint harness and a lap strap.

The Asiento chair also features the option of pressure care relief technology in partnership with Levitex, which has recently been added to its range of postural support seating and changing benches.

As part of the Prism Healthcare family, a designer and manufacturer of affordable, high quality, clinically effective healthcare products, all Smirthwaite equipment is manufactured in its UK facility to exacting standards.

Other recent product additions by Smirthwaite include a new selection of moving and handling products to its comprehensive range of paediatric equipment.
