Paramed Announces Release of Motorized Stair-Climbing Chair

SALT LAKE CITY , Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Paramed Systems announced today the release of their Mobility Offers Versatility (MOV) chair, a fully motorized stair-chair capable of carrying fire, emergency medical, and rehabilitating patients safely and easily both up and down flights of stairs with the touch of a button.

The MOV has been designed to significantly reduce the inherent risk of back and lower abdominal injury for the care giver when transporting a non-ambulatory patient up or down stairs.

"The innovative design of the MOV, and its unique ability to safely and effortlessly ascend and descend stairs, is unmatched by anything in the market," said Nate Walkingshaw, Paramed President and CEO.
