What kinds of gynecological armchairs are there today?
Despite the simplicity of its structure and its prevalence, not all girls imagine what a gynecological chair looks like, and for the first time seeing it, they do not understand how to sit down on it.
In appearance, this device resembles an ordinary chair. However, for greater convenience of the woman and the doctor conducting the examination, it has armrests and leg holders. Almost every such piece of medical furniture has a headrest, which allows the woman to completely relax, and thereby reduce the unpleasant sensations during manipulation.
If we talk about the purpose and about the features of the design, they distinguish:
- mechanical gynecological chairs (manufactured with a lifting mechanism);
- a gynecological chair with an electric drive.
So the peculiarity of the design of the first option is that the height and inclination of the chair backrest are adjusted manually.
In the chair with the electric drive it is possible to adjust almost all its parts with the help of electronics. Pressing a certain button, the doctor can adjust the height of the seat, the inclination of the backrest. In this case, these parameters are set separately, independently of each other.
Also for the diagnosis of gynecological pathologies and disorders in children, a special, children's gynecological chair is designed, where the doctor, if necessary, conducts an examination. Typically, this design has the same device, except that the dimensions of its parts are smaller. Also, individual models may not have a foot section.
What parameters does the chair have with the electric drive?
This type of armchair is the most convenient to use, because it allows you to arrange a woman the way it is convenient for a doctor to see. Its carrying capacity is 180 kg.If necessary, the gynecologist can easily adjust the height of the seating arrangement. The range is from 75 to 90 cm.
During the conduct of such manipulations, as the sampling of material for laboratory testing, it is necessary that the woman is located in the chair in a semi-liable position. To do this, the doctor just need to press the button and choose the desired angle of inclination of the back.
Thanks to this design, it is possible to conduct small operations in the gynecological chair, in an outpatient setting.
What are the features of the construction of seats with a mechanical drive?
This chair is the simplest and has a low cost, which explains its prevalence. Similar furniture items are now equipped with most gynecological rooms.
All adjustments are made manually, by rotating one or another lever. So the doctor has the opportunity to adjust the height of the seat, as well as the backrest of the chair. However, most doctors do not do this, setting the optimal for inspection parameters, once.
Thus, today there are many modifications to such a subject of medical furniture, as a gynecological chair. Individual designs make it easier to conduct an inspection. At the same time designers do not forget about the woman, releasing each year more and more comfortable and modified designs of the chair.
