Prolonged medical treatments can be physically and emotionally taxing for patients. Particularly during hours-long sessions like hemodialysis and chemotherapy, it is vital for the patient to undergo the process without interruption and in the most comfortable manner possible. Designed to address this critical need, the Erpomed ICON-500 Electrical Dialysis and Chemotherapy Chair is more than just a piece of furniture—it’s a crucial supportive element of modern healthcare. This 4-motor chair combines advanced technology with ergonomics to maximize treatment comfort for the patient and alleviate the workload of healthcare staff.

4-Motor Technology: Total Control and Flexibility

The most significant feature distinguishing the ICON-500 from its competitors is its four independent electric motors. These motors allow the chair to effortlessly and instantly adjust the backrest, legrest, height, and the critical Trendelenburg position via a handheld remote control.

1. Backrest and Legrest Adjustment: Smooth transitions between sitting and reclining positions are achieved via the hand control, catering to the patient's preference or medical necessity.

2. Height Adjustment: Essential for facilitating patient transfer to and from the chair, and equally important for healthcare personnel to achieve the most ergonomic working height when attending to the patient.

3. Trendelenburg Function: This feature, which places the patient's head lower than the rest of the body, is a vital safety standard. It is rapidly deployable for emergencies or in situations like a sudden drop in blood pressure (hypotension). The ICON-500 provides this critical positioning quickly and securely.

This comprehensive motorized control brings both operational efficiency and high patient safety standards to healthcare facilities.

Viscoelastic (Memory) Foam for Maximum Comfort

One of the greatest risks associated with prolonged sitting during treatment is the discomfort or pressure ulcers (bedsores) resulting from constant pressure on specific areas of the body. The Erpomed ICON-500 is upholstered with high-quality viscoelastic (memory foam) foam to minimize this risk.

• Body Heat Sensitivity: The foam reacts to the patient's body heat and weight, conforming precisely to their body contours.

• Pressure Distribution: It distributes pressure evenly across a wide surface area, preventing concentration in any single spot. This feature aids patient circulation and supports a comfortable treatment journey.

• Hygiene and Durability: The upholstery is anti-microbial, waterproof, flame-retardant, air-permeable, and easy to clean. This maintains the highest hospital hygiene standards. It is an ideal choice for institutions seeking durable hospital furniture suitable for intensive use.

Healthcare Staff-Friendly Design

The ICON-500 is designed with both patients and the healthcare professionals who operate it in mind.

• Ease of Use: A simple and intuitive handheld control allows staff to make position adjustments quickly.

• Integrated Armrests: The armrests move synchronously with the backrest. This ensures that the patient's arms remain supported even as their position changes, which is a major advantage when the chair is used for blood drawing or IV access.

• 360° Swivel Casters: Large-diameter casters with a diagonal locking mechanism ensure the chair can be easily maneuvered within the room and securely locked in place when necessary.

• ABS Covering: The ABS covering protects the internal mechanism from dust and dirt, enhancing both durability and ease of cleaning.

An Indispensable Investment for the Healthcare Sector

A healthcare center must invest in high-standard medical equipment like the ICON-500 to enhance the quality of the clinic and boost patient satisfaction.

• High Patient Satisfaction: A comfortable treatment experience increases patient loyalty to the institution.

• Long-Lasting Solution: Manufactured with Erpomed's assurance of quality, this quality patient chair is designed to withstand the rigors of a busy hospital environment.

• Multi-Functionality: It can be used as a dialysis chair, chemotherapy chair, blood donation chair, and even for certain minor procedures.

In conclusion, the Erpomed ICON-500 model sets a benchmark in the modern hospital furniture sector. It offers efficiency for institutions and provides luxurious comfort and safety for patients throughout their treatment process.
