Foot Height Control

This is an optional extra that enables the height range of the seat to be adjusted with the foot, instead of a hand lever, ideal for use when in scrubs. This can be fitted to all models.

Height Adjustment

This is the adjustable height range of the cylinder from the lowest to the highest point, measured from the floor to the centre of the centre seat pad. Our seating is normally supplied with the option of a standard or high cylinder.

If required, we are able to supply a lower or higher option. Should you require this, please contact us for details. Seating with a high cylinder is supplied as standard with an adjustable foot ring. Whilst not recommended, this may be removed if required.

The images show the difference in height range between the standard and high cylinders.

Tilt Facility

The seat pad tilts back and forth to enable pelvic movement, which helps promote a good neutral spinal position. On all models where applicable, except the SGEM-GT, the back rest and the seat pad can be independently adjusted and used in a free floating or locked position.

Back Rest Rake Adjustment

This is a spring-loaded adjustable movement. It may be in a free-floating position, which means, as the operative leans back and forth, the back rest will move with him / her, providing continuous support, alternatively it can be locked into position.

Back Rest Height Adjustment

This is raised manually up and down to achieve the correct position for the lumber support, and then locked into place.

The Base

The Base of the chair is powder coated aluminium which can be upgraded to polished aluminium. Many bases are strengthened by a honeycomb effect on the underside, which is an ideal place for bacteria to breed. Our base is strengthened by a T-bar structure which gives a smooth clean surface to wipe clean.

Material

All products comply with fire safety regulations and ISO 9001. Our seating is free from latex. The upholstery is breathable, wipe clean and impregnated with anti-bacterial agents at the point of manufacture. There is a choice of 85 colours which are included in the price. It is common practice that colour is used as a device to identify which department or theatre the chair(s) / stool(s) belong to.

Restraint Castor

These act on vinyl flooring in a similar way to a normal free-wheeling castor would act on a carpeted floor. All our stools / chairs are fitted as standard with Restraint Castors or Static feet. However, we have a full range of locking castors.

Double Curvature

Double Curvature means a contoured moulded seat pad.

Weight Capacity

Weight capacity cylinders have been tested to hold a weight of 22 stones. If required, this may be increased. Detail on request.

We provide a 5-year guarantee across our whole range of seating. Feel free to contact us today!
