The Athena 854DB is a gas-spring laptop arm that brings your notebook steplessly to the right height. The aluminium platform cools the laptop, tilts 20 degrees and has anti-slip pads; the pull handle moves the arm into position effortlessly.
The Athena 854DB is an ergonomic laptop arm for flexible notebook workstations in clinical and other demanding environments. A laptop flat on the desk forces you into a bent posture: the screen sits too low and too close. The 854DB lifts the laptop to eye level, so you work upright and the worktop stays clear. Athena supplies its medical IT solutions from the Netherlands.
The integrated gas spring system balances laptops of 1 to 3 kg and lets you set the height steplessly with one hand. The built-in pull handle makes repositioning extra easy: you pull the arm towards you or push it away without touching the platform. The workstation adapts in one movement to seated or standing work and to changing users.
The platform is made of aluminium, which dissipates the laptop’s heat and helps prevent overheating during prolonged use. Four anti-slip pads hold the laptop firmly in place and the platform tilts up to 20 degrees for a comfortable typing and viewing angle. Integrated cable management guides power and data cables neatly along the arm.
The 854DB is ideal for workstations where the laptop is the central workstation: flex desks on the ward, doctors’ rooms, lab spaces and offices. Combined with an external keyboard and mouse you create a fully ergonomic workstation, with the laptop safely at height instead of flat on the desk.
