Roma Medical is showing its latest product, the Romachair shower and commode chair, which has been manufactured
and designed in the UK in consultation with infection control management personnel.
The Romachair is manufctured from 1" steel tubing, and is designed to carry patients weighing up to 190kgs / 420lbs / 30 stone in the standard version; 250kgs / 550lbs / 40 stone in the mediatric version; and 318kgs / 700lbs / 50 stone in the heavy-duty bariatric version.
Several unique patented features ensure ease of use for both carer and user. The steel frame is seamless, with no
dirt trapping points. It is coated with the company's own Romaplas coating which prevents microbial growth, including
MRSA, Listeria, E-coli and Salmonella. All other components are also manufactured from materials that prevent microbial
growth. This significant new development will be of particular interest to those involved in infection control.
The Romachair has a footrest that can be stored behind the forward-most point of the chair, removing the possibility of trapping the feet and lower leg between the footrest and the front castors. Unlike many other sanichairs, the footrest on the Romachair is large enough to accommodate both standard size and bariatric in comfort.
