EARLY PATIENT MOBILISATION Over the last 20 or 30 years global population has been aging progressively, a trend that continues based on the reduction in numbers of new-born babies alongside increased life expectancy. An ageing population leads to a greater number of elderly patients and therefore an increased probability of elderly people with declining mobility and with a generalised worsening in their clinical condition post treatment. The negative effects of prolonged bed rest are therefore well proven, even on physically healthy people, and getting patients moving as early as possible...

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RELAX CHAIR The ergonomic push handle makes the chair easy to move both with and without a patient seated. Upholstered in fireproof imitation leather that guarantees maximum comfort while reducing friction on the patient. The back support has been specifically designed to provide the maximum possible support to the patient and is structured so as to distribute the patient’s weight evenly avoiding undue pressure on the lower back and rear. The lever for raising/lowering the leg section is easy to use both for staff and the patient, increasing his/her level of independence....

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CHAIR Getting patients up and about as early as possible has become a priority for hospitals and care facilities. This leads to an increasingly marked need for chairs which provide support, comfort and security for patients. The availability of a complete product line is important as each patient has his or her specific requirements based on their clinical situation and so the chair needs to be suited to their particular clinical condition. The six lines are divided into fixed height chairs, bariatric chairs and variable height chairs. Clients can choose the most suitable...

MINOS LINE Specifically created for bariatric patients this chair has increased seat size and strength. The extra large wheels facilitate transport of the patient around the ward. IRIS LINE This chair is specifically designed for high dependency patients with limited mobility who require assistance getting in and out of the chair. Its variable height mechanism facilitates moving the patient in/out of bed. RHEA LINE The RHEA chair is similar to the IRIS but provides increased support for patients who have difficulty remaining seated and who require increased containment. BARIATRIC MEDICAL...

BASIC LINE: Fixed height medical chairs The BASIC line of chairs is particularly suited to patients with a high level of mobility and independence of movement. These chairs can also be used for visitors and care givers. The various models are available with either independent or synchronised backrest and leg support movements. The fixed armrests are designed to comfortably support the patient’s arms and can be used to assist the patient getting into/out of the chair. BASIC LINE chairs are available with feet or wheels. The wheels enable the chairs to be used for small movements around the...

By raising the backrest and pushing down on the armrest the patient can get out of the chair easily and safely. With the leg support raised the patient’s weight is redistributed which reduces the occurrence of pressure sores. A disposable sheet dispenser support is available so as to ensure maximum hygiene. A version with wheels is also available which facilitates transport of the patient in the chair.

BASIC LINE: Fixed height medical chairs The BASIC line of chairs is particularly suited to patients with a high level of mobility and independence of movement. The patient can easily get out of the chair by pushing down on the armrests. The chairs are equipped with small wheels for movements around the room. Each wheel is equipped with a brake which provides a guarantee of stability while ensuring the chair stays still when the patient gets into or out of it.

As a result of the chair’s wide range of movement, a comfortable position can always be found. This means the patient can remain seated in the chair for long periods without feeling the need to lie down, with all the benefits that a seated position provides. This also favours a more rapid and constant improvement in the patient’s condition. The easy-to-reach and use lever enables the patient to move the backrest and leg support independently so as to be more comfortable and vary his/her position so as to minimise the occurrence of pressure sores. cod. 9SP9110 Disposable sheet dispenser...

MEMORY LINE: Fixed height medical chairs The MEMORY line of chairs is designed for patients with average mobility who are not always able to move independently but whose condition is not particularly severe. These chairs can also be used by care givers for waiting or even resting. The various models can be fitted with either independent or synchronised backrest/ leg support movements. The armrests can be adjusted so as to be at the most comfortable height for the patient. They can also be used to assist in getting into/ out of the chair and, when fully lowered, facilitate transfer to and...

+ Favero Health Projects By adjusting the angle of the backrest and leg support sections the patient’s weight can be distributed more evenly which reduces pressure on the lower back and rear and minimises the occurrence of pressure sores. The levers are within easy reach of the patient who can change position independently. This encourages his/her autonomy favouring early mobilisation and general psychophysical improvements. The moulded height-adjustable armrest can be positioned in the most comfortable position for the patient. It can be used to assist in getting into or out of the...

MEMORY LINE: Fixed height medical chairs The increased stability of this chair with its robust construction provides a guarantee of safety for the patient. Even if the patient gets up while standing on the foot supports, the chair will not tip over. The large wheels ensure safe patient transport. Safety is also guaranteed when the chair is stationary as each wheel is fitted with a brake. The use of the brakes is very important. Considering that the chair is designed to favour early mobilisation, the brakes reduce the risk of falls when the patient moves on his/her own. It is very important...
