Milano
Therapeutic Wheelchair designed for Nursing Homes
Advanced Seating, based in Co Cork, are the proud distributors of Seating Matters chairs in the South West and West of Ireland.
Together with Seating Matters, we have extensive experience in seating and knowledge in the areas of falls prevention, pressure injuries, bariatric seating and those with complex muscle contractures.
Seating Matters have created the Milano™ therapeutic wheelchair to bring clinical expertise and high quality design to a universal, accessible chair perfect for nursing home care or care at home.
Perfect for HSE Loan Stores, Hospitals and Nursing Homes
The Milano™ takes the clinical features, the quality and the durability for which Seating Matters is known and puts it into an accessible, universal chair.
Perfect for multiple users, the Milano™ can be easily adjusted in seat width, seat depth and footplate height to fit a different patient. As there is no velcro in the design, it passes very stringent infection control standards and makes re-issue and re-use of the chair very simple.
With impressive strength and durability, the Milano™ will help the HSE equipment loan stores, hospitals and nursing homes across the South West and West of Ireland save money by being able to be re-used over and over again.
