The VESS Chair has been designed and marketed by those professionals intimately knowledgeable about the challenges associated in assessing persons with dysphasia. The need for a special seating device was identified in 1985, when a Speech-Language Pathologist, Radiologist and Radiological Technologist collaborated on the early design and prototype of the VESS Chair.
Over four years of research and design testing preceded the manufacture of the VESS Chair as it is today. We are proud to state that the VESS chair is constructed of high quality materials, with the best interest of your patients in mind. VESS Chairs, Inc. continually works to improve on the features of each chair to better serve your needs.
Each Chair is thoroughly inspected prior to its shipment to you. The chair is completely assembled and each part is assessed for optimal working function. At the time of the inspections, it is our assurance to you that the VESS Chair is shipped to you in accordance with our quality inmprovement6 standards.
The chair has one year warranty on parts. |

In addition to properly positioning patients for the Modified Barium Swallow Study, the VESS Chair allows both the radio0logist and speech-language pathologist to move into and out of the fluoroscopy suite efficiently. What might have taken 45-60 minutes to position a patient on the fluoroscopy table and complete the swallow study without the VESS Chair, is now reduced to 10-15 minutes using the VESS Chair, depending on the patients' diagnosis and needs.
This efficiency reduces the time that the fluoroscopy room is occupied, allowing for additional patients to be seen, a reduction in patient wait time, and increase in department productivity. Moving one foot pedal allows the chair to rotate so that both the lateral and anterior-posterior (A/P) views can be obtained.
A video of the chair is available upon request.
