The VELA ‘Bariatric+’ Patient Chair is a robust bariatric lift chair designed to provide a safe working environment for staff while significantly enhancing the patient experience. This heavy-duty transport chair is approved for users weighing up to 300 kg/660 pounds, ensuring both safety and stability. It is ideal for various settings, including rehabilitation, training, and use as a patient chair in the wards.

• Safe patient handling
  High-risk patient handling is often identified and connected to patient transfer. By many Safe patient handling principles, the chair facilitates the ability to maintain independence through patient mobility, accommodating safe transfers for both patient and healthcare staff.
• Early mobilization
  Early mobilization of bariatric patients is linked to better health outcomes and reduced long-lasting consequences. The chair contributes to early mobilization by enabling mobility.
• Prevent WRMSD
  Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) among nurses include low back pain and wrist, knee, and shoulder injuries, which increase when handling overweight or obese patients. The chair alleviates these risks by securing appropriate bariatric equipment for safe patient handling.
• Heavy duty transport
  The chair is optimized for transporting bariatric patients up to 300 kg and customized with easy-running wheels and electric height adjustment to support the patient during mobilization.
