Four Positions — What Each One Is For
Position 1 — Upright
Patient or caregiver activated
Standard sitting position. Most appropriate for patient transfers — moving the patient from bed to chair or from chair to wheelchair. Also used for general treatment, therapy sessions, and meal time.
Position 2 — First Recline
Patient or caregiver activated
Comfortable relaxed position for activities such as watching television, reading, and resting. Also suitable for patient comfort during blood draws, dialysis, IV administration, and other procedures that benefit from a semi-reclined position.
Position 3 — Full Recline
Patient or caregiver activated
Full reclining position — ideal for patient transfers to beds, for sleep periods in the chair, and for extended rest. Depth fully reclined: 74 inches. The headrest and footrest provide full-body support in this position.
Position 4 — Trendelenburg
⚠️ Caregiver activation only
The Trendelenburg position places the patient fully reclined with the legs slightly elevated above the head. Uses gravity to increase blood flow to the upper body. Caregiver-only activation — the control mechanism is behind the headrest and cannot be reached from the seated position.
The Trendelenburg Position — Clinical Applications
Position 4 — Caregiver-Activated Only
Trendelenburg: Supine Recline with Elevated Legs
The Trendelenburg position places the patient supine (lying flat) with the lower body slightly higher than the upper body. Gravity draws blood from the lower extremities toward the upper body and core. Clinical applications include use during hypotensive episodes, shock recovery protocols, post-procedure recovery, and venous return assistance for patients with peripheral circulation concerns. Because Trendelenburg must be activated by a caregiver from behind the chair, the patient cannot inadvertently enter this position unassisted — an important safety feature for this specific recline.
How to Activate Trendelenburg (Caregiver)
- Stand behind the chair at the headrest position.
- Locate the bar behind the headrest.
- Press the lever on the bar.
- While holding the lever, pull the bar down until the desired Trendelenburg angle is reached.
- Release the lever to lock the position.
Key Features
Ergonomic Design — Varied Foam Density
The seat, backrest, footrest, and headrest use varied foam densities — softer where the patient needs cushioning, firmer where structural support is required for positioning and circulation. Consistent support across extended seating periods is a specific design goal of the Clinical Care series, which is intended for patients who spend significant time in the chair.
Fire-Retardant — California TB133 Certified
The FR577RG meets California Technical Bulletin 133 (TB133) standards — the most stringent upholstered furniture fire testing standard in the US, required for commercial and institutional seating. TB133 certification means the chair is appropriate for skilled nursing facility, hospital, outpatient clinic, and adult day care placement, in addition to residential home care.
4 Tente Swivel Casters — All with Wheel Locks
All four casters are swivel type with individual locking mechanisms. The chair can be rolled to any patient location, locked in place for the transfer, and repositioned when needed. The transport handle on the chair back with ergonomic grip gives the caregiver a secure hold for precise positioning in tight spaces.
Removable Side Trays
The removable side trays detach for lateral patient access — important for transfers out of the chair to a wheelchair or toilet chair. Side trays reinstall with a button-release mechanism — no tools required.
Adjustable Headrest
The headrest adjusts for different patient head and neck support needs. Provides cervical support in the full recline and Trendelenburg positions. The headrest is a standard clinical feature on this series — not an add-on accessory.
Easy-Clean Upholstery — Multiple Solutions Compatible
The vinyl upholstery is compatible with standard cleaning solutions including mild detergent, ammonia-water mix (for bodily fluids), bleach solution (up to 10%), and isopropyl alcohol for difficult stains. Wax periodically to extend vinyl longevity. Full cleaning instructions from Graham Field are included with the chair.
Dual-Control Positions
The three patient-accessible positions (upright, first recline, full recline) can be activated by either the patient or the caregiver. The patient activates by pushing back into the chair or leaning forward to raise. The caregiver activates using the bar behind the headrest — useful when the patient lacks the strength or coordination to self-reposition.
Lifetime Frame Warranty · Made in USA
The FR577RG frame carries a Lifetime Limited warranty — the strongest frame warranty in this product category. Manufactured in the USA by GF Health Products (Graham Field), the same manufacturer behind the Lumex LF1030 and LF1050 patient lift lines. Upholstery is warranted separately for 1 year.
