Pick the Right Infusion Recliner (Part One)

Every Body, Everywhere at Once

Our mission, Safety and Comfort in Healthcare, came about out of necessity when we were concentrated in the bariatric market. Being nurse-run, we were inclined to use infusion recliners products that promoted staff safety in patient handling tasks. But nurses also have patient comfort as a primary concern. It is this latter issue that is the subject of this post.

You've heard us in our In-person and Virtual Demos of infusion recliners focus on "Seated Comfort." We talk about recognizing, across your entire patient population, unique body proportions and preferences when it comes to long treatment times. Optimizing support ensures comfort throughout long sitting treatment sessions. That optimization is maximized when the adjustments are independent of each other (i.e., adjusting the back even while the foot rest remains the same)

Adjustments you can employ to create comfort include:

• Backrest Position: The ability to adjust the backrest angle allows you to find the most comfortable position for each activity of a long treatment. The patient can go from support sleep (similar to

• Tilt and Recline: Chairs with tilt and recline mechanisms allow you to change the angle of the seat and backrest, providing options for different sitting postures and promoting blood circulation.

• Independent Adjustments by Body Part:

• Seat Depth: A chair's seat depth allows the patient to position themselves at a comfortable position, ensuring their knees create a 90-degree angle.

  
  

By having these adjustable features, your patient can customize their infusion recliner to suit their body and preferences, enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of discomfort and musculoskeletal issues associated with long sitting.

By prioritizing lumbar, leg, and torso support and adjustability throughout the treatment, you can create a user-friendly seating environment that promotes comfort, reduces strain, and allows your patient treatment without the distraction of discomfort.

Rate comfort

Look for Adjustability: High-quality office chairs should come with a variety of features and reclining mechanisms. This will allow you to customize the chair to your body shape and size so that it fits comfortably and provides optimal ergonomic support throughout your workday.

Consider Ergonomics: The best office chairs have been designed with ergonomics in mind to ensure maximum support and comfort during extended periods of sitting. For example, CoreChair offers a unique design to provide lumbar support and maintain proper posture while promoting natural spinal movement during long hours at the desk.
