In 1995, PHS West was founded by our President, Dan Cummings. Our unique approach to transport applications addresses ergonomics, logistics, equipment and procedural protocol. On-site visits across the country with Hospitals continue to enhance our product development. Safety, efficiency and value remain our driving force.
PHS West has remained the leader in designing products that address specific transport needs and applications. Our exclusive modular designs in the Ergo-Express® Motorized Carts, Clinical Workstations and Featherweight™ Non-Motorized carts offer literally thousands of potential cart configurations. This virtually guarantees you the opportunity to create the perfect cart for your specific and unique application.
The Featherweight™ line of Clinical and Custom Carts were introduced in 2005. Featherweight™ Carts offer a truly durable, all aluminum lightweight combination. We took all the modularity and accessory capabilities of the Ergo-Express® Product Line and created a lightweight non-motorized procedure, supply storage, and travel cart line. Multiple models and modular design make this cart system affordable and the perfect choice for use in Hospitals or Ambulatory Surgery Centers.
The Ergo-Express® Tug System was introduced in 2002. The Tug and multiple hitch options include the revolutionary Universal Hitch and Universal Coupling Hitch. These unique hitch options allow multiple carts to be transported without the cost or cumbersome task of attaching permanent hitching devices. Single carts can be transported without any hitch, and multiple carts are linked together using the portable Universal Coupling Hitch. The Ergo-Express® Tug System dramatically increases transport efficiency and employee workplace safety.
The OP/ER™ Valet Patient Belongings System was also introduced in 2005. This two-part system virtually eliminates the risk of patient belongings being lost, misplaced, soiled or stolen while in your department. The locking outer pouch easily attaches to any existing stretcher. The single-use, sanitary, tamper-evident liner enhances infection control protocol and can be easily labeled with patient ID. Once again, safety, efficiency and value remain the primary developmental focus.
