Inclusive Healthcare Clothing
Introducing our innovative wheelchair friendly laboratory coat, specially designed to improve comfort, dignity and independence for wheelchair users working within laboratories, healthcare, education and research environments.
Unlike traditional laboratory coats, our adaptive design features a shortened back, discreet magnetic rear fastening and an open lower back section that reduces excess fabric beneath the user. This makes dressing and undressing significantly easier while remaining seated, helping improve comfort without compromising professional appearance.
Most laboratory coats are designed for standing wearers. Our adaptive laboratory coat has been designed around the needs of wheelchair users, offering easier dressing, improved seated comfort and greater independence.
The shortened rear panel finishes just above the wheelchair seat, helping prevent uncomfortable bunching behind the user, while concealed magnetic fasteners allow the back panels to close securely with less effort.
Discreet magnetic fasteners are designed to be easy to locate, close and release.
The lower back remains open to reduce excess fabric underneath the user when seated.
The back finishes just above the wheelchair seat to improve comfort and freedom of movement.
Soft, breathable cotton provides comfort for healthcare, education and laboratory environments.
