PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND
INFORMATION
2.1 DESCRIPTION
Shower trolleys ideal for hygiene care to recumbent
patients, in environments such as medical facilities, care
homes, rehabilitation and geriatric units.
They must always be used under the supervision of an
attendant who has read and understood the entire
content of this manual.
The whole frame was treated with a special anti-corrosion
process, the patient platform is made of ABS plastic; side
rails and fasteners are in stainless steel, and castors are
washable.
In some versions the platform can be tilted up to 5° by
means of a gas spring to allow water to run off easily and
up to 12° head side to allow Trendelemburg function. They
are equipped with folding safety side rails and a
comfortable mattress upholstered in waterproof fabric.
Some models have a large backrest end that can be
adjusted using a servo-assisted gas spring system. The
platform height can be adjusted using an electric actuator
powered by rechargeable battery using an handset, or a
foot pedal-operated hydraulic actuator.
