Improvement of the brake lever for the Adam working chair
We are pleased to share one of our recent updates: the brake lever upgrade for the Adam working chair. What may seem like a small adjustment at first glance has a significant impact on ease of use, maintenance, and durability.
Why was a change necessary?
Previously, the Adam’s brake lever was secured with a starlock retaining ring, designed for single-use attachment. This worked well as long as the chair remained with the same user. However, market demands and regulations have changed—care providers now increasingly supply assistive devices on a loan basis, with chairs being transferred between different users within a set period, often three months.
This created a practical challenge. When the chair was returned from one user and needed adjustment for another, switching the brake lever from left to right (or vice versa) was a time-consuming task. Special tools were required, often forcing technicians to return to their workshop to make the modification.
Sustainability in practice
A key advantage of the new brake lever is its retrofit compatibility. This means older Adam models can also be upgraded to the new system. This extends the lifespan of existing chairs, making the solution not only sustainable but also cost-effective.
A solution based on real-world experience
These improvements were driven by direct feedback from dealers. By closely collaborating with the primary users of the working chair, MSP Medical was able to develop a solution that perfectly meets market needs.
The upgraded brake lever for the Adam working chair demonstrates how small technical enhancements can make a big difference in practice. Delivering efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability, exactly what the modern healthcare sector requires.
