Haag-Streit USA launches Reliance Optometry Workplace exam lane solution in the US

Haag-Streit USA, the leading US distributor of gold-standard ophthalmic diagnostic devices, surgical microscopes, and virtual reality-based medical simulators, is pleased to announce the launch of the Reliance Optometry Workplace, a dependable, cost-effective exam lane solution.

Reliance Medical is a leading manufacturer of high-quality exam and procedure chairs, surgical stools, and instrument delivery systems. The new Reliance Optometry Workplace combines the necessary equipment needed for a classic optometry exam lane, consisting of world-class, proven Reliance and Haag-Streit components, including the:

· Reliance SL3 slit lamp (optimized with Haag-Streit optics)

· Haag-Streit AT 870 Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT)

· Reliance 7900 instrument stand

· Reliance 520 examination chair

· Reliance 4246 examination stool.

The Reliance SL3 slit lamp has been developed in collaboration between Haag-Streit and a partner with decades of experience in slit lamp development and manufacturing. This slit lamp has been thoroughly evaluated by Haag-Streit, and genuine Haag-Streit optical elements have been introduced in the imaging chain. The inclusion of the Swiss-made Haag-Streit AT 870 Goldmann applanation tonometer, the gold standard in tonometry, allows IOP measurements to be taken as part of a routine examination while the patient is sitting at the SL3 slit lamp.

The Reliance 520 manual pneumatic-assisted tilt-recline examination chair is exceptionally durable. It features a manual recline bar, easily accessible from both sides of the chair, which controls the assisted tilt of the chair up to 40°. It offers a modern design and a padded, large headrest for increased patient comfort. The hinged footrest safely supports the patient's total weight and folds away to save space. In addition, upholstered armrests rotate up to allow patients to move in and out from either chair side. Boasting long-lasting, American-made craftsmanship, this chair is beautifully finished in hand-crafted upholstery and is available in black and charcoal.

The Reliance 7900 IC instrument stand is constructed in state-of-the-art, durable base material, including the same polycarbonate used on supersonic aircraft to resist scrapes, scratches, and scuffs. Manufactured in the USA, its sleek design provides complete access to patients and includes chair controls and three wells for handheld instruments. The lower slit lamp arm enables you to deliver care to wheelchair-bound patients (and may qualify for ADA tax credit).

The Reliance 4246 pneumatic-assist lift examination stool has a comfortable 15" round seat with an adjustable, tilted backrest. American-made, it is beautifully finished in hand-crafted black or charcoal upholstery. Horizontal and vertical movement tailor the stool to an ergonomic fit. It has five legs (with hooded dual-wheel casters) to distribute weight evenly and ensure stability. The legs are finished in tough, black epoxy enamel.

Frank Wenger, Haag-Streit General Diagnostics Product Manager, commented, “The Reliance Optometry Workplace provides excellent value, maintaining a low total cost of ownership due to the proven longevity of each high-quality component and the outstanding service and support you can depend on from Reliance and Haag-Streit”.

Jeff Sieve, CEO & President, Haag-Streit USA, added, “Purchasing a single workplace solution ensures that everything works optimally together as a complete system, providing a cost-effective, dependable exam lane. With the respected Reliance brand, you have total peace of mind that you are entering into a long-term relationship with a US-based partner that will fully support you throughout the workplace solution's lifecycle, ensuring all the components are in full working order and limiting practice downtime”.

The Reliance Optometry Workplace optometry exam lane solution is only available in the USA.
