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

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.
