Mercado Medic, Specialist Electric X-Ray Chair for Radiology Departments, Real 8100

The REAL 8100 X-Ray Chair is a specialist medical chair designed to support safe, comfortable and efficient patient positioning during radiography and X-ray examinations. Manufactured in Sweden by Mercado Medic, this electrically operated chair combines ergonomic design with adjustable positioning functions to help healthcare professionals carry out examinations efficiently, particularly when treating patients with reduced mobility. mercado-medic.co.uk

Designed with both patient comfort and clinical practicality in mind, the REAL 8100 allows healthcare professionals to adjust the chair’s height and positioning using a remote control. This enables adjustments to be made from a distance, helping staff position patients without unnecessary physical effort. Depending on the selected configuration, the chair can also incorporate electric seat tilt and backrest adjustment to accommodate different examination requirements.

A key feature of the REAL 8100 is its optional radiolucent, transparent backrest, which allows the chair to be used with a standing Bucky system instead of a cassette for certain X-ray procedures. Different backrests, footplates and other accessories are available, allowing the chair to be configured according to individual patient needs and clinical requirements. mercado-medic.co.uk

The chair’s ergonomic design and practical features also support patient transfers. Retractable armrests, available depending on the configuration, can improve access when transferring patients from a wheelchair or patient transport chair. Its manoeuvrable castors, robust underframe and secure braking system help healthcare professionals move and position the chair within the clinical environment.

Developed in collaboration with Swedish radiographers, the REAL 8100 combines functionality, flexibility and patient support in a specialist seating solution for radiology departments and medical imaging facilities. The chair is CE-certified and comes with a 10-year warranty, according to Mercado Medic’s product information.
