“The chair moves quickly around the room and is easily placed by the different X-ray equipment, while the patient can easily be moved and rotated in the chair.
The central brake is really good. It is easily and instantly activated with the foot pedal on the back of the chair. The chair stands completely still and stable when the brake is activated. It provides peace of mind and stability for both the patient and the staff.
The seat’s electrical height adjustment is easily and quickly adjusted with regard to position and equipment, by means of the switch under the armrest.
The patient is comfortable and stable because the chair has an ergonomic padded seat, a small adjustable backrest that supports the body and height-adjustable armrests. Even patients with scoliosis are able to sit in a chair during examinations, with the support of the staff if necessary.
With the small backrest set in the lowest position, it is possible to perform an examination of the lungs even when the patient needs to sit down. The armrests can easily be adjusted so low that you can see the entire body.

Mobility impediments for medical examination
The Radiology Department of Sydvestjysk hospital is a modern, fully digitised image diagnostic department with 140,000 annual studies and treatments, for example, MR and CT Scans, Ultrasounds and X-rays. The department mostly receives patients for X-rays of the musculoskeletal system.
What the radiographer says about VELA X-Ray Chair
The patient lift chair saves time with the patient. It can be made ready before the patient enters and is easily and quickly moved and placed by the machine.
The patient sits comfortably in a stable position because the chair has an ergonomic seat and back, which are heavily padded.
The seat height can be easily adjusted by means of electric controls so that the patient is correctly positioned in relation to the machine. If the patient needs to be closer or sit in a better position, the backrest can be removed and the armrests can be moved up or down to become level with the seat.
The chair is fixed in place using the brake, which ensures the patient is sitting comfortably and completely still during the examination. The large wheels and central brake provide maximum safety and stability for both patient and radiographer.
The armrest of the chair can be used by the patient to get into and up from the chair. It speeds up the process and means that we, the staff, do not overstrain ourselves by assisting with the many daily transfers.
