title: The Flo-tech Adjuster chair from Medical Support Systems.
abstract: Pressure ulcer prevention in the seated patient is a neglected area. The early rehabilitation of bed-bound patients has reinforced the need for suitable seating to compliment pressure-reducing mattresses. Medical Support Systems has developed a hospital chair, the Flo-tech Adjuster, which addresses the problems of both pressure ulcer prevention and manual handling. The launch of the Flo-tech Adjuster has followed many years of research and constant refinement and improvement, and has filled a gap in the market for pressure-relieving devices.
