EXAM RECLINERS HEALTHCARE SOLUTIONS

The winner of an unprecedented array of awards and industry accolades, Ascend is a revolutionary step forward in the design and functionality of patient exam environments. It’s a patent-pending, breakthrough synthesis of elegant form and innovative function, combining the functions of an exam table and a patient recliner into a single furniture solution - enabling greater efficiency of space, and advancing the provision of care for both patients and caregivers. Better, safer care, while also reducing space and staffing costs, makes Ascend a must-have for forward-thinking healthcare providers.

Ascend is the result of a multi-year R&D process that originated with the request of several leading healthcare providers for a new solution in patient exam settings. We worked closely with several of them to obtain detailed criteria and direction from nursing staffs, facility managers, environmental services, and healthcare space planners - and utilized their continued input as we refined the design and function, the safety and cleaning features, and user/caregiver operational needs. And we incorporated all of the specifications and standards of the ADA Best Practices Guidelines, for both...

Ascend gives healthcare providers the capability for performing a highly versatile combination of types of care, in a single setting: patient treatment, sitting and waiting, patient examination, infusion, and a full range of patient/sleep/Trendelenburg recliner positions. Until now, this range of care typically required multiple room settings, movement of patients from room to room, and the overall need for more dedicated space and furniture - and more staff to manage the flow of patients. The innovative utility

of Ascend saves time, space and capital cost - while also improving safety and comfort for both patients and caregivers, and reducing caregiver workloads. Ascend enables healthcare providers to give better care with less space, and less staff a compelling opportunity for acute care, physician and treatment clinics, emergency rooms, medical office buildings, urgent care clinics and infusion spaces.

Ascend embraces the patient in ergonomic comfort, with contoured cushioning that is supportive in both the sitting and exam positions. Ascend is adjusted through an infinite range of positions at the touch of a button, with a pendant control that is accessible to both patient and caregiver - enabling effortless continual adjustment to benefit patient comfort during periods of sitting, and exceptional safety for patients going into the exam position, and from there back to the sitting position.

Ascend’s gap-free upholstery helps prevent dirt, debris and germs from accumulating in its interior and underneath - and all exterior components and surfaces (including minimal seams) have been carefully designed to enable thorough cleaning, and support infection control. Ascend is weight rated to 400 lbs, and is designed to accommodate a patient lift, as well as patient transfer (with the optional Patient Transfer Arm).
