May 6, 2025- Midmark Corp. announced the launch of the Midmark 631 procedure chair. Developed to better meet the accessibility needs of today’s patients, the Midmark 631 Procedure Chair is the first and only U.S. Access Board (USAB) compliant procedure chair.
In 2024, the U.S. Access Board issued a new standard establishing design criteria for examination and procedure chairs, as well as weight scales and other diagnostic equipment, that are accessible to people with disabilities. The Midmark 631 Procedure Chair features a USAB compliant 17-inch low-seat-height (while maintaining a 39-inch high-seat-height), 28- or 32-inch-wide transfer surface and ample base clearance that is compatible with patient lifts and helps ensure safe patient transfer with no interference.
The Midmark 631 also offers USAB compliant Articulating Knee Crutches to support the patient’s thigh, knee and calf during lower body exam and procedures. Additionally, the procedure chair offers compliant Patient Support Rails and Patient Support Rails+ to assist patients in accessing the chair and to provide a stable gripping surface while repositioning on the chair.
