Changing to Better Serve Your Special Needs

by Carla Christensen on February 13, 2012

Everyone hates change, right? NO! Here at MAX-Ability, we’re all about change — changing tables, as a matter of fact. (Sorry, that was a terrible pun.) We’re also all about changing our look, our functionality, whatever we need to so that we can help you better. That’s why we’re redesigning our website.

So we started with our most popular products — the Pressalit Care and Horizon ergonomic wall-mounted folding tables. Next we’re working on the pages for our mobile Armedica and Lambda tables. Then we’ll round out the field with the economical Linido. Oh, we snuck a new table in — a basic Armedica, also an economical, yet sturdy, choice. [click to Read More…]

Pressalit Care to the rescue.

One of my great joys, and a big part of the reason I love this business, is discovering new ways to help people. This came home to me at a recent trade show showcasing medical equipment. Of course, our changing tables have a place in clinics and hospitals — anywhere that patients use wheelchairs. I was thrilled to learn that our Pressalit Care [click to Read More…]
