Compass™ System

COMPASS SYSTEM

Designed to Navigate Change

Healthcare organizations face

an ongoing challenge in managing

their facilities: While treatment and

care processes continually evolve,

many healthcare spaces are unable

to adapt. Compass is a system

of interchangeable components

for patient and exam rooms,

caregiver work areas, and other

healthcare spaces. Compass easily

and eciently navigates change.

Support for Patients and Caregivers

Compass environments are designed to support the

needs and activities of patients and their caregivers.

Compass seamlessly integrates patient-centered features,

such as storage, personal lighting, and accessories, with

caregiver-oriented features, such as work surfaces, sinks,

glove storage, and technology support. Compass provides

a well-designed, intuitively organized, and inherently

satisfying experience for everyone who uses it.

Solutions for the Care Continuum

Compass creates applications for

acute care, ambulatory, and long-term

care environments. Its broad range

of components are easily combined,

assembled, removed, rearranged,

and potentially repurposed. More

important, changes can be made easily

without demolition. The results

are unmatched flexibility and lasting

value for the healthcare organization.

The Compass rail system makes installing and rearranging components simple. The rail also integrates
with the Co/Struc

®

system, allowing lockers and other Co/Struc components to hang on it.

Designed for Healthcare

Compass materials and components are designed to meet the unique needs of healthcare

environments. Whether for ease of cleaning and infection control, or ergonomics and accessibility,

the Compass system was designed with healthcare criteria in mind. And, with their 12-year,

24/7 warranty, these features provide the durability and resilience required in care environments.

Compass accommodates the utility needs of healthcare environments. It integrates with

and manages utilities, whether pre-plumbed/pre-wired, stubbed out, or chased from the ceiling.

Pre-wired, pre-piped is provided by our headwall partner Hospital Systems, Inc (HSI).

Statement of Line

The Compass system is composed of rails, stiles, and tiles. The rails attach to the architectural wall,

the stiles then attach to the rails, and nally the tiles attach to the stiles. There are both seated and

stand-up height work surfaces and sink modules. A rotating surface extends from the wall and serves

as a table or extra work surface. Storage components include a wardrobe, drawers, storage, and glove

and paper towel cabinets. Additional components include a linen cart, markerboard, and display shelf.

the entire look and feel of a space. In addition, tiles and components are available in solid surface

or Durawrap, our 99.9% PVC-free material that does not require edge banding. Compass provides

resilient and cleanable materials that are optimal for healthcare infection prevention protocols.
