Salus healthcare chair

Salus was primarily designed to combat the spread of bacterial infection as well as offering improved ergonomics for hospital patients. The chair has simple, clean lines and comprises only five parts. Uniquely, Salus has no fabric joins or stitching and the chair frame is encased in Medipur™, which eliminates surfaces around the sides and under the chair that normally trap dust and dirt. The underside of the chair is smooth, with no visible frame or webbing, all carefully designed to aid infection control. Medipur™ is a an antibacterial, integral skin PU foam which contains an additive, providing continuous anti-bacterial and antifungal protection against over 50 common organisms such as MRSA, e.coli, Salmonella, Listeria and Aspergillus Niger. Dual pressure relief is provided by the profiled seat and back, which improves support around the sacrum, lumbar and thoracic areas by replicating the shape of the body, compressing to offer continuous postural support. With a 160kg (25 stones) maximum load Salus is suitable for the majority of patients on general ward or specialist areas.

Salus achieved an award for innovation at Neocon in Chicago and was designed for Teal Healthcare, part of the Senator International Group
