Stander
Altimate Medical, Morton, Minn, introduces the EasyStand Evolv. The EasyStand Evolv is the next generation of the current EasyStand Series. Altimate Medical’s product development team has made significant improvements to the EasyStand based on feedback from customers around the world. The EasyStand Evolv’s most noteworthy change is in the lifting design, which mimics the body’s natural pivot points, minimizing shear. The Evolv’s redesigned modular base allows various options like the shadow support tray, self-propelled mobility, or the “Active Standing” Glider, to be added at any time. Transfers into the EasyStand Evolv are easier because of its wider seat and open base, which allow the user’s wheelchair to be positioned closer to the stander. The open base also allows lifts to be used when transferring a person into the stander. (800) 342-8968; www.easystand.com.
