Our cataract surgery patients never have to move from their pre-operative stretcher chair. We’ve programmed our 4 chairs to the exact height needed, per station, throughout our 2-OR suite: positions for pre-op, transport, surgery and post-op. We simply push a button for programmed position 1, 2, 3 or 4, and then hang the remote on a hook on the chair’s armrest.
Each stretcher chair is around $15,000. For a repetitive procedure like cataract surgery, not having to fiddle with the height of the chair saves valuable time during the day, and streamlines the surgical process and patient flow. The staff know which button to use for each station, ensuring a comfortable and easy transition for the staff and patients.
