The COMPANION Hip Chair is a medical-grade seating solution designed for post-surgical recovery, hip replacement rehabilitation, and mobility-challenged patients. Suitable for hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and home care, it combines durable construction with infection-control features and easy maintenance to support safe, comfortable seating.

  • Elevated seat height: reduces strain during sit-to-stand transitions, aiding hip surgery recovery.
  • Wall-saver design: legs make first contact to protect walls and baseboards.
  • Medical-grade durability: welded 1.75" steel frame, replaceable cushions, and Easy Grip urethane armcaps for longevity.
  • Easy-clean upholstery: antimicrobial fabrics with seam-sealing options for infection control in healthcare settings.
  • Ergonomic support: lumbar contouring and a waterfall seat edge promote proper hip alignment and comfort.
  • Compliance and safety: meets ANSI/BIFMA X5.4 & X5.11; 500 lb capacity; removable, zippered upholstery; fire-retardant foam compliant with CA TB117-2013 and Federal Motor Vehicle Standards.
  • Customization: 76 Spectone color options for frames; wood or polyurethane arms in multiple finishes; antimicrobial fabric upgrades available.

Ideal for post-op recovery, senior care, and physical therapy, the COMPANION Hip Chair delivers reliable support, safety, and durability in clinical and home environments. It enhances mobility while facilitating easy maintenance for healthcare professionals and patients alike.
