More Details

Accessories
* All VELA work chairs can be ordered with a large selection of accessories and special solutions for the chair to be adapted to the needs of individual users, for instance handles developed for people with arthritis in hands and fingers.
* VELA offers individual solutions within padding, support, handles and electrical adjustment. The arthrodesis split seat is an advantage for users with stiff hip joints or users with leg amputations. The position of the leg angle in relation to the seat can be adjusted independently of each other.
* VELA has developed a special fold-up footrest for work chairs. When it is used, it stabilises the chair and can be used as a footboard or as a stabilising footrest when sitting high up.
* For height adjustment, you can choose either a manual version (with a gas spring) or an electric one.

Standards

Standards

TGA
Many of the items on the Assistive Technology Australia website are categorised as a Medical Device. Medical devices that are approved for use in Australia have been entered into a national database called the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), which is maintained by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). You can ask the supplier for the ARTG number for the device you wish to purchase and search the ARTG for the entry. To access information on the ARTG visit www.tga.gov.au

When buying a medical device it is advisable to only choose a medical device that is recommended by a healthcare professional and has been included on the ARTG.
