Single Patient Platform Efficiency for Eye Care: Pre-Op, Transport, Surgery & Post-Op Recovery

The Hausted® ESC2 Series Ophthalmology Platform Procedure Chair is engineered to maximize throughput, surgical precision, and patient dignity in ambulatory eye surgery centers, cataract clinics, retina practices, corneal suites, and outpatient surgery departments. Designed by clinicians for clinicians on Hausted’s proven Single Patient Platform philosophy, the ESC2 accommodates the ophthalmic patient through every phase of care—from pre-operative dilation and anesthesia, direct motorized transport into the sterile suite, rock-solid procedural execution under the surgical microscope, and transfer-free recovery. By eliminating multiple patient transfers, the ESC2 protects delicate operative eyes against post-op pressure spikes while shielding healthcare personnel from debilitating occupational lifting injuries.

Patented Articulating Headrest, Superior Surgeon Leg Clearance & 4-Way Power Articulation

Engineered with specialized microsurgical geometry and heavy-duty positioning capabilities, the ESC2 delivers unparalleled clinical precision:

• Patented Articulating Headrest with Infinite Positioning: Dual-locking pivot mechanism provides fluid three-dimensional cranial alignment, allowing the clinician to orient the patient's eye precisely parallel to the operating microscope without cervical strain.
• Superior Surgeon Leg Clearance: Slim, tapered low-profile base architecture enables surgeons and surgical assistants to position their stools, foot controls, and phacoemulsification pedals close to the patient's head without mechanical interference.
• Industry-Leading 20" to 40" Elevation Range (50.8 cm to 101.6 cm): Low minimum height facilitates safe wheelchair boarding, while the 40" upper height provides optimal ergonomic comfort for seated micro-surgeons or standing clinical teams.
• 600 lb (272.2 kg) Bariatric Weight Rating: Heavy-gauge welded tubular steel column supports demanding bariatric surgical cases with zero wobble or deflection during microscopic maneuvers.
• Full 4-Way Power Articulation: Motorized adjustment of height, backrest angle (0° to 85°), seat tilt (0° to 15°), powered leg extension, 15° Trendelenburg, and 6° reverse Trendelenburg to optimize surgical exposure and venous return.
• Quick-Release Backrest Drop: Bilateral emergency manual release bar instantly flattens the backrest to horizontal for emergency CPR protocols.
• 3" Multi-Density Pad with Dura-Gel® Insert: Combines visco-elastic memory foam with a specialized Dura-Gel seat insert to distribute pressure points and prevent tissue breakdown during lengthy procedures.
• Primastretch Fluid-Resistant Healthcare Fabric: Durable 4-way stretch urethane-coated cover prevents fluid penetration, resists stain-causing bacteria, and reduces skin shear.
• Counter-Rotating Foldaway Side Rails: Integrated urethane armrests drop cleanly beneath the patient surface for zero-gap lateral transfers and wide surgical clearance.
• Integrated Powered Leg Extension: Padded leg rest extends the patient surface from 75" to 83" (190.5 cm to 210.8 cm) and includes an adjustable 2-position foldaway footrest for taller patients.
• Standard Accessories Included: Factory-supplied with a telescoping stainless steel IV pole, patient safety restraint strap, and utility drainage bag clips.
