SDM 001 is designed to facilitate assisted transport and personal hygiene of disabled and elderly people in community healthcare environments. This chair can be used as a seat for showering the patient; it is equipped with a pail to serve as an independent WC or can be moved over WCs of the healthcare facility. Finally, it can be used as a comfortable room chair.
FRAME
The chair frame is entirely made of the best furniture grade PVC. The addition of titanium dioxide in the PVC compound results in a better appearance by giving it a UV-stable, glossy-white finish; it also enhances mechanical resistance and provides specific antibacterial properties.
Components are assembled using a PVC-base glue, resulting in a true chemical welding: once the parts are joined together, the frame becomes a single piece, extremely solid, rigid and sturdy. Compared to coated metal chairs, SDM 001 is not subject to rust, scratches, or dents.
SEAT AND BACKREST
Seat and backrest are made of comfortable and hypoallergenic PUR foam. This is a noticeable advantage over seats made of a padded upholstery. Even in case of wear and tear the closed-cell structure of PUR foam prevents water from penetrating the seat and backrest, thus avoiding mould growth.
Seat and backrest can be easily removed without tools; during the washing routine, the backrest can be temporarily removed to facilitate the caregiver’s access to the patient’s back.
