“LibertyPRO™ was designed to give healthcare providers what they truly need—ADA compliance, clinical accuracy, and transfer safety— simply and affordably,” said Eileen Melvin, President & CEO of UMF Medical. “By offering both manual and power back options with integrated blood pressure positioning, LibertyPRO™ provides meaningful innovation in the affordable space and makes inclusive care attainable for every facility.”
The LibertyPRO™ Exam Chair precisely meets the U.S. Access Board low seat height recommendation of 17 inches to support safer patient transfers for 95% of wheelchair users who can independently transfer.
In addition, the LibertyPRO™ Exam Chair is lift-compatible for clinicians, increasing staff satisfaction for health systems challenged with labor shortages. It is also hassle-free for biomed teams, requiring no preventative maintenance and no heavy shrouds to remove for internal access.
The LibertyPRO™ Exam Chair’s optional OneTouch WheelBase® System is designed to enable staff to move the chair easily for cleaning or flexing room space, without the need for electricity. The best-in-class, removable upholstery with PreFixx® Protective Finish helps to support infection prevention protocols.
Additional features of the LibertyPRO™ include a front storage drawer & reversible side drawer, drawer warmer, integrated drain pan, foldaway stirrups, pelvic tilt, two dual electrical outlets and programmable hand & foot controls with OneTouch Patient Positioning® System and auto return-to-home functionality. The chair ships fully assembled for fast, hassle-free installation.
