Recliner and Geri Chair Rental in Texas

Geri chair and medical recliner rental in Texas

Recliner and geri chair rental in Texas gives patients a safe, comfortable place to spend time out of bed. Geriatric chairs (geri chairs) and medical recliners are used in hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis and infusion centers and at home, for patients who can't sit safely in an ordinary chair. Mr. Biomed Tech Services rents and sells medical recliners, geri chairs and lift chairs across Texas, with same-day delivery for in-stock rentals across Dallas–Fort Worth and scheduled delivery elsewhere. See our medical equipment rental catalog, new and refurbished medical equipment, or browse patient recliners at our store, Mr. Bedmed.

Who Benefits

Older adults who slide down in standard chairs.
Patients recovering from surgery who need leg elevation.
People with heart or breathing problems who rest better partly upright.
Residents in memory care who need a safe seat near activities.
Patients in long dialysis or infusion sessions.

Fitting the Chair to the Patient

Seat width and depth: the patient should sit back fully without the edge pressing behind the knees.
Seat height: feet flat on the floor or footrest.
Recline and tilt: enough to rest comfortably without sliding.
Cushioning: pressure-relief cushions for patients who sit for long periods.
Wheels and brakes: lock before transfers.

Safety

Geri chairs and recliners should never be used to restrain a patient. Use trays and positioning only as the care team directs, check skin regularly for pressure areas and reposition the patient often. For transfers in and out of the chair, use a lift if the patient can't stand; see the FDA guidance on patient lifts.

Rentals for Facilities

Nursing homes, dialysis and infusion centers and hospitals rent recliners and geri chairs for added capacity, new wings or while owned chairs are repaired. Short-term backups are handled through our short-term hospital equipment rental service, and owned chairs can be inspected through our medical equipment inspection service.

What Every Rental Includes

Each chair is cleaned, disinfected and inspected before delivery, set up and adjusted on site, and supported with repair or replacement during the rental. Home rentals are supported through our home health equipment services. Service requests receive a response in under 8 business hours, Monday through Friday; across Dallas–Fort Worth we can usually be on-site the same day. See our service locations.

Cleaning between uses: in facilities, wipe vinyl surfaces with disinfectants approved by the chair's manufacturer, check seams for tears that trap fluids, and report damaged upholstery so it can be repaired before it becomes an infection-control problem.

At home: getting the most from a recliner or lift chair. Place the chair where the patient wants to spend the day, near family, a window or the television, with a clear path to the bathroom and a small table within reach. Practice standing with the lift function before relying on it, and keep the remote control clipped where it can’t fall to the floor. Encourage short periods out of the chair as the care team advises, because sitting all day can cause stiffness and pressure sores just like lying in bed. If the chair becomes the only place the patient can sleep, talk to the care team; a hospital bed with head elevation may be safer at night.

Choosing between rent and buy: for recovery after surgery, renting for a few weeks usually makes sense. For long-term conditions, a purchased lift chair may cost less over time.
