A new easy-clean, perforated stretcher is featured on the latest addition to the Pressalit Care range of nursing benches and tables – the Nursing Bench 2000. Designed for both changing and showering, the Nursing Bench 2000 has a wide range of applications in bathrooms, washrooms and hygiene rooms. Meeting the requirements of BS8300:2009, the Nursing Bench 2000 is ideal for Changing Places facilities, as well as home adaptations, schools, day centres and care homes.
The stretcher, which can be unzipped for washing, allows water to pass through into the water collection tray below. An integrated water outlet prevents water from splashing on carers or onto the floor, while a flexible hose connects to either an outlet in the floor or on the wall.
As with all Pressalit Care’s nursing benches, ease of use is paramount for both user and carer. The 2000 model has a low starting height of 300mm, enabling easy transfer onto the bench from either a seated or standing position. The electrically operated hand control raises the bench up to a maximum of 1000mm off the ground. Up and down buttons are clearly marked on the control, which comes with a convenient wall mount.
Andrew Lowndes, UK sales manager for Pressalit Care says, “The flexibility of the height adjustable nursing bench gives advantages to both the user and the carer, as the correct working height is equally important for the carer’s safety and the user’s comfort.”
Its attractive, ergonomic design provides high standards of user comfort, while its smooth, hygienic surfaces make for easy cleaning.
The Nursing Bench, which can be neatly folded up against the wall when not in use, is produced in white, powder-lacquered stainless steel. A maximum weight of 175kg is advised.
The Nursing Bench 2000 is part of a full range of high quality, fixed height or power adjusted changing benches and tables from Pressalit Care. All the models have been carefully designed to provide a stable platform suitable for changing and showering both adults and children in a variety of settings.
Other products in the range include the Nursing Bench 1000, which features a pvc coated canvas stretcher, and is available in both height adjustable and fixed height versions; the award winning 3000 model which has adjustable head support, and is designed for maximum comfort; and for use in pre-school and nurseries, the Pressalit Care Nursing Table.
