The NorthStar Medical "Beach Chair" Orthopaedic Positioner

Developed in partnership with experienced orthopaedic surgeons and anesthesiologists, the NorthStar Beach Chair positioner provides unparalleled speed and flexibility in shoulder cases.  The chair rapidly attaches to standard OR tables via a simple clamping mechanism that engages attachment rails, and within minutes, is ready for a case.  The device is totally passive (no electricity required) and relies on a pneumatic cylinder that provides continuous adjustment angles and a rigid lock to the desired position.  Once secured to the surgical table, the chair allows access to either shoulder in a variety of combinations.  Supplied accessories provide lower torso support and head restrain as needed by each individual patient.

Our customers include premier healthcare institutions in the U.S. and world wide where single and multiple units have been used for several years.  We are proud of their satisfaction and work very hard at continuing to bring effective solutions.

The NorthStar Beach Chair Orthopaedic Positioner is in use at over 1000 health care facilities worldwide.  We would be very happy to provide you with names of institutions in your area that have used the positioner effectively.  More importantly, we would be honored to have you see for yourself how our products can bring benefit and value to your organization.
