A tilt chair does let you reduce preasure and "get off it" a little. You need to tilt every half hour or more if you can. I don't know what your using on the wound, but it can be tricky to get a sore to heal and still get in the chair everyday. I'd say it is worth it but I'd talk to a Dr. at a wound care center or a Dr. that specializes in wound care.

I have been battling a substantil pressure sore on my rear end for nearly four years. It absolutely refues to heal. I just bought a highprofile roho and hope that helps. my question - would it be worth the money (about $1500 out-of-pocket) for me to invest in a tilt chair? I have a standard invacare arrow now. Would this be a worthwhile investment or could I spend the money on something more worthwhile? Please help me guys, especially if you have experience with a tilt chair. _________________________________________________________________ PC Magazine’s 2007 editors’ choice for best Web mail—award-winning Windows Live Hotmail. http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_mini_pcmag_0507 ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
