Why? Patients visiting infusion therapy areas are at a very stressful point in their life where they may be facing feelings of helplessness, confusion and anxiety.
Instead of taking them to an empty, sterile room to have their treatments performed, hospitals should be working to make their infusion therapy stations comfortable places where patients can spend time relaxing or chatting with visitors while receiving treatment. Along with the simple solutions (like installing entertainment systems and painting walls in brighter, more lively colors) it’s also important to empower patients by giving them control over their physical comfort. By updating your infusion therapy furniture to pieces that allow the patients to adjust posture and comfort, your patients will be able to perform these tasks for themselves, which goes a long way when you are fighting a life-changing disease. When choosing recliners for your infusion therapy area, we at Novum Medical Products, Inc. recommend the iSeries Designs’ line of medical recliners. Created with the needs of both the patient and the medical facility in mind, these recliners provide a safe, comfortable, reliable place for patients to receive treatment. Made to last, their high-quality designs also add a touch of style to your facility. Features that will be especially handy for patients receiving infusion are the fingerpull-operated back and lever-operated footrest available in the Sleeper Recliner and Trendelenburg Sleeper Recliner.
