What is a MEDICAL STOOL

It is a seat specially designed to meet the needs of healthcare professionals in various medical environments such as clinics, hospitals, and laboratories. This type of chair offers ergonomic support and optimal comfort to enable practitioners to work efficiently and safely.
A medical stool is distinguished by its specific features, such as adjustable height, allowing users to adjust it according to their needs and size. Some models are also equipped with wheels, providing convenient mobility to easily move around the work area.
Ergonomics is a crucial consideration in the design of medical stools. They are designed to support the spine, promote correct posture, and reduce muscle tension, allowing healthcare professionals to work for long periods without discomfort or excessive fatigue.
Medical stools are made with quality materials, often coated with a stain-resistant and easy-to-clean covering, to maintain high standards of hygiene and cleanliness in medical environments. Some models may also be equipped with armrests or other additional features for increased comfort.
