Bravo 2 Examination Chair
The everyday exam chair, done properly
The Bravo 2 is Marco's everyday chair: a smooth, quiet hydraulic lift controlled either from an interfaced Marco instrument stand or a corded foot pedal, and a foot-activated rotation and lock mechanism behind the chair so staff are not reaching around the patient to set position. Ergonomic through the back and headrest, and priced for practices equipping several lanes at once.
What it does
- Hydraulic power lift with smooth, quiet elevation
- Controlled from any interfaced Marco instrument stand or a corded foot pedal
- Foot-activated rotation and lock mechanism located behind the chair
- Ergonomic design for patient comfort through longer exams
- Coordinates with the Bravo 2 instrument stand
Is it right for your practice?
Best fit
Practices equipping multiple lanes, and any lane where the chair is doing routine examination, not procedures.
Why consider it
Foot-activated rotation and lock, mounted behind the chair, sounds like a small thing until you watch a technician reach across a seated patient to release one. It is the kind of detail that shows up a hundred times a day. The hydraulic lift is quiet and runs either from an interfaced Marco instrument stand or a corded foot pedal, and the chair is priced for practices equipping several lanes at once.
What to compare
It does not go fully flat under power. If you do lid procedures, foreign body removal or anything else that wants the patient horizontal, the Encore is the chair. This one may feel limiting if your work regularly requires the patient to recline fully. If you want a wider elevation range for tall patients or wheelchair transfers, look at the E-Z Tilt. The Bravo 2's case is routine examination across several lanes at a sensible price.
Ask me about
Quoting the Bravo 2 chair and Bravo 2 stand together instead of separately, since the stand is designed to control the chair's elevation.
