The Care Continuum Chair™
Flush-to-Floor Footrests
Flush-to-Floor Footrest during transfer enhances patient safety and may reduce the risk of slips and falls; promotes patient dignity by eliminating the need to lift the patient’s legs onto a wheelchair footrest.
Comfort, Ergonomic and Clinically Relevant Patient Benefits

The Care Continuum Chair delivers multi-situational, clinically appropriate seating positions, as well as the natural Sit to Stand (STS) transfer protocol. It provides an ideal patient transfer from car to ER, from triage to surgery, or from bed to prescribed post-surgery early mobility.

Optimized, Clinical Seating Design based on NASA’s research on neutral body position, optimal ergonomics and ideal Grandjean seating angle Weight Shift Technology adjusts body pressure which can minimize pressure points.

Weight Shift Technology adjusts body pressure which can minimize pressure points.

Lower Center of Gravity provides greater sense of stability, superior comfort, and improved posture.
Wide Profile, Raisable Armrests
Head, Neck and Spinal Curve Comfort/Stability Engineering
The Care Continuum Chair helps avoid clinical concerns resulting from poor posture and weight distribution. The head, neck, and spinal curve comfort engineering of the chair delivers a multi-situational, appropriate seating position.
Designed for Easy Maneuverability

Weight-assisted rear-wheel maneuverability

Low resistance wheels
Ergonomic Handles
Ergonomically designed vertical and horizontal handle orientation to maximize operator comfort and efficiency.
Additional Features

Telescoping IV Pole

O2 Tank Support

Disinfectant Holder

Integrated Baggage Transport

Nestable for Storage
Adjustable, Raised Leg Support
Powered Assist Lift (PAL)
Built-in, Powered Assist Lift (PAL) raises the patient’s center of gravity until it’s centered over the legs, mimicking the biomechanics of standing from a seated position.

Optimized Patient-Centric Seating,
Transport, and Early Mobility

The Continuum Chair is engineered to ideally interact with the human form to promote
well-being and safety, and to radically improve patient experience and satisfaction.

The Chair reflects the need for ideal neutral posture, long-duration seating, and anatomical support for skeletal, muscular, and tissue loading. The optimized seating “system” provides improved comfort while supporting the user’s spine, organs, and soft tissue.

Optimized Seating Design

The Continuum Chair delivers a multi-situational, appropriate seating position, as well as the natural sit to stand (STS) transfer protocol. It provides an ideal patient transfer from the car to the ER, from the bed to prescribed post-surgery early mobility, or from non-horizontal exchange to an MRI.

Safe Patient Handling
and Early Mobility

The Care Continuum Chair addresses momentum transfer, stabilization, exaggerated trunk flexion, and dominant vertical rise.

Powered Assist Lift (PAL)

Built-in, Powered Assist Lift (PAL) raises the patient’s center of gravity until it’s centered over the legs, mimicking the biomechanics of standing from a seated position.
Flush to Floor Footrest

Flush to Floor Footrest during transfer enhances patient safety and may reduce the risk of slips and falls. Promotes patient dignity by eliminating the need to lift the patient’s legs onto a wheelchair footrest.
Head, Neck, and Spinal Curve Comfort

Head, neck, and spinal curve comfort/stability engineering.
Neutral Posture Seating

Neutral Posture Seating based on NASA research and Grandjean curve.
Weight Shift Technology

Weight Shift Technology adjusts body pressure which may minimize discomfort.
Lower Center of Gravity

Lower Center of Gravity provides greater sense of stability, superior comfort, and improved posture.
Standing Geometry

Standing Geometry mimics natural standing mechanics.
Adjustable, Raised Leg Support
Low Resistance Wheels / Weight-assisted Rear-wheel Maneuverability
Ergonomic Handles

Ergonomically designed vertical and horizontal handle orientation to maximize operator comfort and efficiency.
Telescoping IV Pole
Nestable for Storage
