The Catalyst™ offers mobilization therapy to complex patients by engaging the largest muscles in the body through weight bearing. With a push of a button, your staff can bring secured patients upright in the bed, progressively mobilizing patients early, frequently and safely.
The only bed in the world capable of verticalizing bariatric patients.
Verticalization is the name for evidence-based passive mobility activities such as tilting and weight bearing activities to promote early mobilization.
Verticalization is prescribed to advance recovery in cardio-pulmonary function, brain function, and mobility.
An upright position facilitates healthy expansion of the heart and lungs to optimize gas exchange and reduce diaphragm atrophy by allowing the diaphragm to drop.
Assists in reducing muscle atrophy that can contribute to falls, fracture and bone demineralization.
Aids in reducing risk for pressure injury resulting from pressure, shear/friction and moisture for immobility.
Movement in the digestive systems is encouraged to help reduce risk of bacterial infections that can result from an immobile fecal system.
Movement in the urinary systems helps reduce risk of bacterial infections and kidney stones that can develop.
Cerebral perfusion is supported, helping to improve overall cognitive function.
Fluid is redistributed back to the lower extremities from the thoracic cavity, improving cardiac workload and heart rate, helping to stabilize hemodynamics.
Movement helps lymph drainage as muscle activity helps move fluid into the lymphatic vessels.
Elevate your understanding, engage with pioneering research, and embrace the chance to make a lasting impact.

Outcomes of Extubated COVID and Non-COVID Patients Receiving Awake Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Diminishes visceral and mediastinal constraints, optimizing the diaphragm for ventilation and improving the ventilation-to-perfusion ratio.
Decreases ventilatory stress and increases alveolar recruitment, improving lung compliance and expiratory lung volume (EELV) over time.
Promotes decreased ventilator days.
Our proprietary bed design is optimized specifically to improve sitting posture. With a push of a button, the X-Hale™ position eliminates the need for lateral transfers to a cardiac chair and helps increase lung capacity and improve expiratory flow, allowing patients to sit comfortably, and safely, for longer.
Actively offloads surface pressure up to 10 times faster than traditional alternating pressure technology to better prevent and manage pressure injuries.
Our patented low-air loss technology diffuses airflow directly into the patient’s skin through thousands of microscopic holes in the top of the coverlet, reducing excess heat and moisture, to prevent maceration.
Our Integrated CLRT Mattress option helps expand the lungs and improve pulmonary function. CLRT is independently customizable on each side, up to a 40° angle, and concentrates lift force to be directly under the pelvis and chest.
Safe patient handling features are designed to help reduce the risk of occupational injuries associated with patient repositioning and overreaching at the bedside.
