8 MRI / Healthcare The wheelchair is especially designed for use at hospitals and institutions. In a MR laboratory no steel equipment is allowed due to the strong magnetic forces. Conventional wheelchairs are hence excluded. The EasyRoller is metal free and is used at a high number of MR laboratories in Scandinavia and Europe. - EasyRoller Hospital & Institution allows patients to be transported directly to the MRI machine. - EasyRoller Hospital & Institution has no parts that can be removed and it demands very little maintenance. The wheelchair has good quality when it comes to driving and maneuvering. The back, the seat and the armrests are upholstered, and combined with the footrest, the sitting comfort is excellent. The lack of any metals, the good maneuverability and the fact that the EasyRoller is easy to keep clean - are among the reasons why hospitals also prefer the EasyRoller as porter s transport chair.
