Single Patient Platform Efficiency: Pre-Op, Transport, Procedure & Post-Op Recovery

The Hausted® EPC500 Series Multi-Specialty Procedure Chair is engineered to revolutionize clinical throughput and patient dignity in ambulatory surgery centers, endoscopy suites, pain management clinics, plastic surgery practices, and emergency departments. Built on Hausted’s proven Single Patient Platform philosophy, the EPC500 accommodates the patient through every phase of care—from pre-operative prep, direct transport into the operating suite, surgical execution, and transfer-free post-operative recovery. By eliminating multiple patient transfers, the EPC500 drastically reduces room turnover times while protecting healthcare personnel from debilitating occupational lifting injuries.

Full Radio-Lucent Backrest, 20" to 40" Height Range & Dura-Gel® Cushioning

Engineered with heavy-duty commercial mechanics and versatile clinical positioning capabilities, the EPC500 delivers uncompromising operative stability:

• Full Radio-Lucent Backrest: Clear imaging access accommodates C-arm fluoroscopy and X-ray procedures directly on the chair without repositioning or transferring the patient.
• 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 standing or seated surgeons.
• 600 lb (272.2 kg) Bariatric Weight Rating: Reinforced structural steel lift column supports demanding bariatric surgical cases with zero frame wobble.
• Full 4-Way Power Articulation: Independent motorized adjustment of height, backrest angle (0° to 90°), seat tilt (0° to 15°), powered leg extension, 15° Trendelenburg, and 6° reverse Trendelenburg.
• 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 up to 78.5" (199.4 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 drainage bag clips.
