Flexing Genie Flex®

The Ultimate Chair for Healthcare Environments – Infection Control, Ergonomics & Style

 

​In today’s healthcare environments, where infection control is paramount, selecting furniture that not only meets ergonomic and aesthetic standards but also contributes to maintaining a sterile setting is crucial. The Genie Flex® chair by Via Seating emerges as a superior solution, seamlessly integrating advanced materials, thoughtful design, and exceptional functionality to address these needs.

 

Innovative Materials for Infection Control

At the heart of the Genie Flex® chair’s design is its use of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) for the flex back. This material, renowned for its application in high-performance athletic footwear and industrial seals, offers several properties that are particularly beneficial for healthcare settings

 

Chemical Safety

Completely free of chlorine, PVC, and plasticizers, Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is designed with both environmental responsibility and human health in mind. By eliminating these potentially harmful substances, TPU significantly reduces the risk of chemical exposure, making it a safer choice for users and the surrounding environment. This commitment to non-toxic materials ensures compliance with stringent health and safety regulations while also supporting sustainable design practices. As a result, TPU not only enhances indoor air quality but also contributes to a healthier, more eco-conscious workspace without compromising durability or performance.

Bleach Cleanable

Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is exceptionally resilient, making it ideal for environments that demand stringent hygiene standards. Its durable composition allows it to endure rigorous cleaning protocols, including repeated exposure to bleach and other disinfectants, without degrading or compromising its structural integrity. This ensures that the chair remains both hygienic and long-lasting, providing a reliable seating solution that supports infection prevention efforts while maintaining its aesthetic and functional quality over time.

Abrasion & Stain Resistance

The material’s exceptional resistance to scratches, grease & oil stains helps maintain the chair’s pristine appearance and cleanliness, even in high-traffic and demanding environments. This durability not only enhances the chair’s longevity but also ensures that it continues to meet strict hygiene standards over time. By preventing surface damage and staining, the material supports easy maintenance, allowing for effortless cleaning while preserving both the aesthetic and functional integrity of the chair. This makes it an ideal choice for settings where cleanliness, durability, and professional presentation are essential.

 

These features collectively make the Genie Flex® chair an excellent choice for environments where infection control is a priority, as the chair’s surfaces can be thoroughly disinfected, minimizing the risk of pathogen transmission.​

 

Design Features Enhancing Hygiene

Beyond material selection, the Genie Flex® chair incorporates design elements that further support infection control:​
Seamless Seat Options: The chair offers an optional seamless seat design, reducing crevices where dirt and bacteria might accumulate, thereby facilitating easier cleaning and maintenance.​
Minimalist Aesthetic: The chair’s clean lines and absence of unnecessary seams or stitching not only contribute to a modern look but also eliminate potential hiding spots for contaminants.
These design considerations ensure that the chair not only meets ergonomic and aesthetic requirements but also aligns with stringent hygiene protocols essential in healthcare settings.

 

​Ergonomic Excellence

The Genie Flex® chair is meticulously engineered to support the human body, promoting comfort and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal issues:​

 

Intuitive Flex Back

The Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) flex back is engineered to provide a dynamic and responsive seating experience, delivering both active stretch and controlled resistance. Designed to adapt seamlessly to the user’s movements, it offers multidimensional support by flexing in multiple directions, ensuring continuous ergonomic alignment. This innovative flexibility encourages natural motion, promoting better posture and reducing physical strain during prolonged periods of sitting. By accommodating shifts in position and subtle body adjustments, the TPU flex back enhances comfort, reduces muscle fatigue, and supports overall well-being, making it an ideal solution for workspaces that prioritize both performance and user health.

Customizable Seating

Designed to cater to a wide range of body types and seating preferences, this chair is available in six distinct seat sizes, ranging from petite to extra-large. This thoughtful range ensures that individuals of all shapes and sizes can find a chair that provides the right level of ergonomic support and comfort. By offering a customized fit, the chair helps to promote proper posture, enhance seated stability, and reduce pressure points, ultimately improving overall well-being. Whether for a compact frame or a more spacious seating preference, each size is carefully designed to provide optimal support, ensuring an inclusive and comfortable seating experience for all users.

Adjustable Components

This chair is designed with a variety of customizable features to ensure an ergonomic and personalized seating experience. The height and width-adjustable arms provide users with the ability to fine-tune their arm support, reducing strain on the shoulders and upper body. Additionally, the advanced synchro mechanisms allow for effortless single-rotation adjustments, enabling users to modify the chair’s tilt and recline settings with precision. These intuitive adjustments help accommodate different body types, postures, and work styles, promoting proper spinal alignment and reducing fatigue throughout the day. By allowing for a highly tailored fit, these features contribute to a more comfortable, supportive, and user-friendly seating solution.

These ergonomic features are particularly beneficial in healthcare environments, where staff may spend extended periods seated and require furniture that supports their well-being and productivity.​

 

Stylish Design Complementing Healthcare Spaces

While functionality and hygiene are critical, the aesthetic appeal of furniture also plays a role in creating welcoming healthcare environments. The Genie Flex® chair achieves a harmonious balance between style and practicality:​
Sleek Profile: The chair’s design features a distinctive genie lamp-shaped back that narrows at the top, allowing for upper body mobility and contributing to a modern, sophisticated appearance.​
Versatile Color Options: Available in various frame and back colors, the chair can be customized to complement different interior design schemes, enhancing the visual coherence of healthcare spaces.​
This attention to design ensures that the Genie Flex® chair not only serves functional purposes but also contributes positively to the ambiance of healthcare facilities.
