The Convaquip TRC-750 utilizes a Tilt-in-Space design that allows the entire seat and back assembly to rotate backward up to 30 degrees without changing the patient's hip angle. This specific movement pattern is critical because it redistributes the patient's weight from the ischial tuberosities to the larger surface area of the back, significantly reducing localized pressure. By shifting the center of gravity, clinicians can improve blood flow and oxygenation to vulnerable tissues, which is a primary goal in clinical pressure ulcer prevention protocols. Unlike standard recliners, this mechanism prevents the "shearing" of skin that occurs when a patient slides forward during traditional reclining. Consequently, it is an essential tool for managing non-ambulatory bariatric patients who are at high risk for skin breakdown.

The TRC-750 is available in three seat widths (26", 30", and 34"), with the overall external width of the chair typically measuring approximately 8 inches wider than the seat itself. For the 26" and 30" models, the chair is designed to navigate standard 36-inch to 42-inch hospital doorways and corridors commonly found in institutional settings. However, facility managers selecting the 34" seat width model should verify that their facility features wide-clearance doors (48 inches or greater) to ensure unhindered patient transport. The heavy-duty casters are positioned to maintain a stable base while allowing for a tight turning radius in clinical environments. Ensuring proper clearance before procurement prevents logistical bottlenecks during emergency or daily transport operations.

The Model TRC-750 is upholstered in premium, medical-grade vinyl that is specifically engineered to be non-porous and resistant to antimicrobial growth. This material is designed to withstand frequent saturation with EPA-registered hospital disinfectants and 10% bleach solutions without cracking or fading. The seamless-style construction in critical areas minimizes the crevices where bioburden can accumulate, making it easier for environmental services (EVS) staff to maintain a sterile environment. For safety officers, this ensures the chair meets stringent infection control mandates for multi-patient use in acute care. Durable upholstery also extends the product's life cycle by preventing the internal foam from absorbing moisture or contaminants.

The TRC-750 features dual high-pressure gas cylinders that provide mechanical leverage, allowing a single caregiver to adjust the tilt or recline of a 750 lb patient with minimal physical force. This system is a vital component of a facility’s "No-Lift" policy, as it reduces the ergonomic strain on nursing staff and helps prevent musculoskeletal worker's compensation claims. The cylinders provide a controlled, dampened movement, ensuring that the patient does not experience sudden drops or shifts during adjustment. Because the cylinders are industrial-grade, they are designed for thousands of cycles in high-traffic wards without losing lifting power. This mechanical assistance ensures that patient positioning can be performed frequently and safely throughout the day.

This chair is engineered with completely removable armrests and swing-away footrests to provide an unobstructed path for lateral transfers from a bed or stretcher. By removing the armrest on the transfer side, staff can use a slide board or air-transfer mat to move the patient without lifting them over a structural barrier. This modularity not only increases patient safety during the most dangerous part of the care cycle but also allows for deep cleaning of the seat-to-frame interface. The footrests can be detached entirely to reduce the chair’s footprint in cramped rooms or during storage. For facility engineers, these removable components are easily replaceable, ensuring the chair can be serviced without replacing the entire unit.
