Med-Mizer FlexTilt Tilt-in-Space Recline Chair
Med-Mizer® FlexTilt Attendant-Propelled Tilt-in-Space Recline Chair (V-Back Series)
Independent 25° Tilt-in-Space & 30° Backrest Recline, Center-of-Gravity Balance Architecture, Patented V-Back Design®, Pivoting Height-Adjustable Armrests, Directional Steering Casters, and Made-in-USA Steel Frame
Managing clinical pressure redistribution, postural control, and caregiver handling for individuals spending extended periods in a chair requires advanced seating technology. Traditional recliners or static transport chairs can cause shear friction, sliding, and skin breakdown at sacral pressure points. The Med-Mizer® FlexTilt Attendant-Propelled Chair combines independent tilt-in-space posture management with separate backrest recline to deliver total positioning control.
Engineered with a 25-degree tilt-in-space mechanism and an independent 30-degree backrest recline, the FlexTilt allows caregivers to shift body weight and open hip angles independently to alleviate pressure without causing shear. Med-Mizer's patented V-Back Design® naturally cradles and centers the user's torso without bulky side pads, supported by flexible pressure-relief strapping. Featuring height-adjustable pivoting armrests for smooth side transfers, a fully reclining foot section, and dual directional steering casters for effortless straight-line pushing, it supports up to 350 lbs across three seat widths (16", 20", and 24").

Seating & Mobility Specialist Insight: The FlexTilt is Med-Mizer's premium attendant-propelled chair for users who require deeper posture adjustment. Compared to the Freedom Flex series (18° tilt), the FlexTilt offers a deeper 25° tilt, adds 30° of independent recline, and sits higher (19.5"–21.5" seat height) for easier caregiver interaction. Note: If you require WC19 Transit Certification for vehicle transportation, it must be factory-installed at the time of order.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main difference between tilt-in-space and recline?
A: Tilt-in-space tilts the entire seat and backrest together as a single unit, keeping hip and knee angles fixed while shifting weight to relieve pressure. Recline opens the angle between the seat and backrest. The FlexTilt performs both functions independently.
Q: How does the FlexTilt compare to the Freedom Flex™ chair?
A: The FlexTilt offers 25° tilt plus 30° independent recline and a higher seat height range (19.5"–21.5"). The Freedom Flex™ offers 18° tilt without separate recline and sits lower to the floor (12.5"–17.5").
Q: Can I add the WC19 Transit Certification option after receiving the chair?
A: No. The WC19 Transit Certification requires factory-installed structural tie-down anchors and must be ordered at the same time as the chair.
