Comfort-forward design for clinical spaces where care, dignity, and versatility matter.
Kindera was designed for the rhythm of clinical spaces—where comfort and reassurance meet. Thoughtful ergonomics, durable materials, and effortless motion support both patients and caregivers.
Kindera’s patented Trans4rm™ system is a one-touch drop arm solution designed for safe patient transfers. Winner of the 2024 Nightingale Silver Award for Patient Seating, it elevates both functionality and dignity.
Kindera is a fully adjustable patient recliner that balances comfort, functionality, and warmth in high-acuity settings. With smooth recline, integrated heat, intuitive controls, and replaceable components, it’s engineered to support healing without compromise.
Kindera was created to elevate the infusion and patient seating experience for both patients and caregivers. From the intuitive patented Trans4rm™ arm to integrated heat and infinite recline, it answers today’s healthcare needs with clarity, empathy, and excellence.
Kindera is the result of extensive interviews with patients, nurses, and designers—every voice shaped its function and feel. The result? A recliner that supports the full continuum of care with intention, from comfort to cleanability to control. It’s where human insight meets healthcare innovation.
