Description
The Portering Chair - Rear Steer, Nesting, Sliding Foot Rest - Bristol Blue is a heavy-duty hospital portering chair manufactured by Bristol Maid (Hospital Metalcraft Ltd) for the safe and comfortable transportation of patients around clinical environments. It features rear steering for easy manoeuvrability, a nesting design to minimise floor space when multiple chairs are stored, seamless contoured upholstery in flame retardant antimicrobial vinyl (Bristol Blue), moulded drop-down armrests to allow side access, and a sliding rubber footrest that both aids patient access and supports the feet during transit. The chair incorporates a step that is engineered so the chair will not tip if a patient stands on it, and includes an X-ray/notes pocket on the rear of the backrest, two hooks for patient belongings, and fittings on the rear uprights to accept IV poles or cylinder holders. The chair is supplied on large fixed wheels with cushioned braking castors and has a maximum safe working load of 190kg.
