In addition to properly positioning patients for the Modified Barium Swallow Study, the VESS Chair allows both the radiologist 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 rotated so that both the lateral and anterior-posterior (A/P) views can be obtained.
