Armchair for healthcare facilities Sittris
An effective patient chair must be much more than simply a comfortable place to sit. It needs to address the issues faced daily by healthcare workers and their patients and provide attributes that encourage patient recovery:
• providing gentle, relaxing therapeutic movement to enhance patient convalescence
• providing pressure relief in the seat area to stimulate blood circulation – reducing the risk of skin breakdown, particularly in areas of bony protrusions such as the coccyx
• providing comfortable support for patients’ arms without putting unnecessary pressure on the elbows – reducing the chance for elbow skin shear
• providing nursing staff easy access to patients for chair-side treatments and allow for safe, discreet placement of IV poles, oxygen equipment, etc.
• providing comfortable leg positioning while reducing downward pressure on patients’ heels – reducing the risk of skin breakdown
• providing easy to clean surfaces that resist bacterial, viral and microbial growth
Of course, an effective patient chair must be comfortable as well – offering superb lumbar support and effectively “nestling” all patients regardless of height allowing them to relax and “snooze.” We designed Sittris PA with all this in mind – a chair truly designed for patient care.
