The Quantum Beach Chair
Shoulder Positioning System
LIFT-FREE, INSTANT TABLE MOUNTING
With the QSPS, there is no strenuous lifting and tedious mounting. Simply roll it up to the foot section of the surgical table, engage the side rails and slide in the pins. When the pins are in, mounting is complete. Quick, painless, and easily done by one person in under one minute. Gone are the unreliable C-clamps of old. Why strain your back, pinch your fingers, and damage your fingernails if you don’t have to?
- No lifting
- No C-clamps
- Rigid, slip free mounting
- Mounting in one minute
- One person job
INSTANT & SECURE HEAD SUPPORT
At the heart of the QSPS’s innovation is its revolutionary Halo and Cradle™ head support system. The neck and head are fully controlled for the duration of even the most physical procedures. It works harmoniously to provide durable fixation for all types of patients, eliminating critical malposition during cases. Best of all, the process is so sleek and simple that the head can be positioned and fixated in one minute by one person.
- Position and fixate in one minute
- Easily accomplished by one person
- Head does not shift or slide during cases
- No straps or Velcro™
- Unobstructed airway access
- Easy intubation
ERGONOMIC SUPPORT FOR REAL PEOPLE
Does your office chair have a flat back? Would you like to sit in it if it did? Why should your shoulder positioner be any different? The QSPS is the first Shoulder Positioner to feature custom formed ergonomic pads that closely fit the natural contours of the body. The superior support and stability allows it to be the first to offer full-time, bi-lateral and circumferential shoulder access. Bodies are curved; isn’t it about time the devices supporting them followed suit?
- Custom shaped ergonomic pads
- Superior support and stability
- Full time access to both shoulders
- Excellent surgical site access
- Adjusts to fit all patient sizes and weights
UNIVERSAL TABLE COMPATIBILITY
The QSPS is designed to fit on your existing surgical table, whatever it may be*. It easily mounts to the side rails of the leg section, and utilizes the table power to raise and lower the patient. This eliminates the need for dangerous and strenuous manual elevation of the patient from supine.
- Fits your existing OR table
- Automated patient elevation
*Fits tables 16″ – 26″ wide
SELF-CENTERING HEAD SUPPORT
The head support floats on precision stainless steel ball bearing tracks while the patient is being elevated. This allows it to compensate for shear by keeping the head in a safe, neutral position. When the desired level of elevation is achieved, the support can be locked and the height fine-tuned for precision positioning.
- Safely support head during elevation
- One person can elevate patient
- Precision adjustability
NON-OPERATIVE ARM SUPPORT
Protect and position the non-operative arm quickly and simply with the QSPS’s included support. Forget cumbersome straps and bands. This support is adjustable vertically and rotationally, and safely supports the non-operative arm during elevation and for the duration of the procedure.
- Easily mounted and secured
- Fully adjustable about 6 axes
- Ambidexterous
EXTREME ADJUSTABILITY
Three axis adjustability means that you can safely support all types of patients: small, tall, obese, kyphotic, male, female, young or old. There is even a special neck pad for “bull-neck” patients to ensure complete support. The head and neck support can be adjusted in all directions, and the head can be rotated to either side to provide greater shoulder access from above. The entire back rest can even be vertically adjusted to accommodate especially tall patients.
- Three-axis adjustability
- Fits all patient types, sizes, and conditions
LEG BOLSTER
Prevent sliding, and take the tension off of patients knees and hamstrings with the custom formed leg bolster. Why continue to use unstable stacks of pillows or rolled towels? The bolster makes the patient safer and more comfortable, and provides piece of mind for surgeons and surgical staff.
- Fits all patient sizes
- Prevents sliding during elevation and surgery
- Takes tension off of patients’ knees
