Once you’ve had the vitrectomy surgery, your doctor will recommend a period for you to stay face down to aid in the healing process. During this period of time, you will require a vitrectomy recovery chair.
These recovery chairs can be rented or bought, as you see fit. If you want to rent a recovery chair do so from Scouter Medical. It’s a great way to recover from the vitrectomy process.
So, on that note, how should you choose a vitrectomy recovery chair? Here we help you with some guidelines that can help you choose the perfect equipment for recovery from vitrectomy.
5 Things To Look For In A Vitrectomy Chair
Here we have listed 5 things to look for in equipment for recovery post-vitrectomy.
- Comfort
The first thing to look for in a recovery chair is whether it is comfortable. You should pick out your vitrectomy equipment before you go for surgery so that it is there for you when you return. You can comfortably make use of it after the surgery. See if the recovery chair is a good fit for you and whether it is comfortably padded.
- Adjustability
Your recovery equipment should be adjustable. If you are unable to find the right size or it’s uncomfortable in any way, you should have your chair changed. Vitrectomy requires you to lie on your front for long periods of time so you need a really comfortable chair. Try out chairs and other equipment from vendors and choose a perfect fit.
- Cushions and Padding
The equipment you finally decide on should have adequate cushions and padding. Since you will be lying on your front for long periods of time, you need to ensure that the padding and the cushioning are soft and comfortable for you.
- Face-down cushion
Every vitrectomy recovery chair should have a face-down cushion. The face-down cushion keeps your face cushioned and rested as you spend the long hours recovering from your surgery. The face-down cushions shouldn’t be old or worn out as things may get very uncomfortable if you don’t have substantial cushioning.
- Folds Flat
The recovery equipment should ideally fold flat. It’s important that the equipment should fold easily into a compact space because it’s hard to keep that kind of equipment out in the open. So choose any recovery equipment that will fold well.
Wrapping Up
Vitrectomy requires careful adherence to doctor’s orders. You will need to lie on your front for a long time so choosing the right equipment for your recovery period is essential.
