The VELA Mammography Chair is optimal for patients who need to sit down during examinations, e.g. women prone to fainting, wheelchair users or patients with diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system.
- Quick and secure patient positioning for the examination device using the chair’s smooth-running wheels, push bar and foot brake.
- More accurate examinations for anxious or unsteady patients as they are more able to relax when seated.
- Optimal positioning of the patient with electric height adjustment, which makes it easy to vary the chair height to suit the equipment and staff.
- Good working position for the staff because regardless of the patient’s height they can be seated at the right height for the staff, reducing stress in the back, neck and shoulders.
- Forward-leaning position easily achieved and secured by adjusting the backrest.
- The patient can be transferred between, for example a wheelchair and the patient chair due to foldable armrests.
