Saddle Chair
Description
The Plinth Medical Premium Saddle Chair - Standard (Model 1020) is an ergonomic clinical saddle chair designed for use in medical environments where staff sit for long periods. The saddle-shaped seat promotes corrective posture when seated, encouraging an open hip angle and upright spine, while an integrated seat-tilt facility allows fine adjustment for added comfort and positioning. The standard model offers a height range of 48–59 cm and can be specified with an optional backrest (Model 1127) for further support. The chair is mounted on a stable five-point wheeled base, upholstered in healthcare-grade vinyl available in a wide range of colours, and can be configured with optional specialist castors and accessories.

Usage
- Place the chair on a clean, level and stable floor surface suitable for wheeled furniture.
- Adjust the seat height within the 48–59 cm range using the gas lift control so that feet are flat on the floor (or a suitable footrest) and hips are slightly higher than knees in the saddle position.
- Use the seat tilt adjustment to achieve a comfortable pelvic position that encourages an upright spine while allowing easy forward reach to the patient or work surface.
- If a backrest is fitted, set the height and angle so that it supports the lower and mid-back without restricting upper body movement.
- Confirm that all adjustment levers are securely engaged and that the base feels stable before use.
- During use, avoid leaning excessively or placing weight on one side of the chair that could compromise stability.
- Clean the vinyl upholstery and hard surfaces between patients or when visibly soiled using approved clinical detergents or disinfectant wipes compatible with healthcare vinyl.
- Periodically inspect the upholstery, gas column, tilt mechanism, base and castors for wear or damage; remove the chair from service and arrange maintenance or replacement if any safety concerns are identified.
Contraindications
- Do not use the chair if there is visible structural damage, instability or malfunction of the gas-lift, base or adjustment mechanisms.
- Not suitable for use on uneven, highly sloped or very slippery flooring where chair stability and castor performance may be compromised.
- Should not be used by individuals whose weight exceeds the manufacturer’s recommended safe working load (if specified in accompanying documentation).
- Not intended to be used as a step, ladder, patient seat or support surface.
Adverse Effects
- Incorrect adjustment of height or seat tilt may contribute to discomfort or musculoskeletal strain during prolonged use.
- Use on unsuitable flooring or with worn castors may increase the risk of uncontrolled rolling or tipping.
- Failure of the gas-lift or tilt mechanism, if not maintained or replaced when worn, could lead to sudden seat movement.
- Use of harsh or incompatible cleaning agents may degrade upholstery and surface finishes over time.
Storage Conditions
- Use and store indoors in a dry clinical or office environment.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or strong heat sources that may fade or degrade vinyl upholstery and plastic components.
