Medical professionals spend hours on their feet or seated during procedures. Poor seating causes back pain, reduces precision, and leads to fatigue that can affect patient care.
Meditelle’s medical seating range addresses these problems with purpose-built solutions for healthcare environments.
Saddle Seats: Ergonomic Support for Demanding Procedures
Saddle seats promote better posture by maintaining the natural curve of the spine. The split design allows practitioners to straddle the seat, keeping hips at the correct angle and reducing pressure on the lower back. This positioning improves blood flow and reduces muscle strain during long procedures.
Standard saddle stools start at £175, while
surgeons’ foot-operated tilt saddle chairs reach £477. The foot-operated tilt function allows practitioners to adjust positioning without using their hands, maintaining sterility during procedures. This feature proves particularly valuable in surgical suites and sterile environments.Medi saddle options offer additional lumbar support for practitioners who need extra back stability. The contoured design supports the natural spine position while allowing freedom of movement around the patient.
Contoured Seating for Precision Work
Contoured stools and chairs provide shaped support that fits the body’s natural curves. Starting at £267 for tilt contour stools and extending to £482 for
surgeons’ foot-operated tilt contour chairs, these seats suit practitioners who need precise positioning during detailed work.The tilt function adjusts seat angle to match the working position. Sonographers benefit from this feature when scanning patients, as it allows them to maintain comfortable posture while keeping the ultrasound probe steady. Surgeons use the tilt function to position themselves optimally for different surgical approaches.Traditional Medical Seating OptionsNot every medical situation requires specialised seating.
Medical operator stools start at £129 and provide reliable support for routine procedures. Tub stools and chairs offer additional back support, with
tub chairs including tilt functions starting at £303.
Practitioners’ shaped tub stools begin at £226 and provide contoured support for longer procedures. The shaped design reduces pressure points and distributes weight evenly, preventing the discomfort that standard flat seats can cause.
Customisation for Different Needs
Medical environments vary significantly. Footrest rings help shorter practitioners maintain proper posture when seats are set at higher positions. Armrests provide additional support during procedures that require steady hand positioning. Memory foam seat pads offer enhanced comfort for practitioners who spend extended periods seated.The antimicrobial vinyl finishes on all seating resist bacterial growth and clean easily with hospital-grade disinfectants. 360° swivel action allows practitioners to move between patient and equipment without straining. Easy-glide castors ensure smooth movement across different floor surfaces.
Practical Benefits for Healthcare Settings
Medical seating affects more than practitioner comfort. Properly supported practitioners work more precisely and maintain concentration longer. This translates to better patient outcomes and reduced procedure times.Foot-operated controls keep hands free for sterile procedures. Height adjustment allows the same seat to accommodate different practitioners throughout the day. The durable construction handles frequent adjustment and cleaning without compromising function.
Investment in Staff Wellbeing
Healthcare facilities that invest in proper seating reduce staff fatigue and injury rates. Practitioners with comfortable, supportive seating experience less back pain and muscle strain. This leads to improved job satisfaction and reduced sick leave.The range of price points allows facilities to choose appropriate seating for different roles. A general practice might use standard operator stools for routine appointments while investing in specialised saddle seats for procedure rooms.Meditelle medical seating supports healthcare professionals through demanding workdays. The combination of ergonomic design, practical features, and durable construction creates seating solutions that benefit both practitioners and patients.
