VERNACARE has developed a new commode chair – introducing a robust, easyclean design – to help reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs). The new VernaChair has been developed collaboratively with clinicians from across the healthcare sector, to increase patient safety.
“The new commode chair is constructed from strong, corrosion resistant materials, making it the one of the most durable products on the market,” said Wayne Nelson, Vernacare’s product design engineer. “The stainless steel frame and plastic moulded parts are easy to remove and can be cleaned using a variety of methods.”
The VernaChair can be steam cleaned and withstands the thermal disinfection conditions used to clean commodes. To assist the introduction of the new product, Vernacare will continue to offer educational support to customers – including ward-based training, commode audits and posters highlighting best practice for the sluice room.
