Gynaecology Chairs

Gynaecological Chairs

A gynaecological chair is a key piece of equipment in gynaecology and urology settings, used for both examination and treatment procedures. The gynaecological chairs offered by Praxisdienst are intended exclusively for professional use in gynaecology practices, urology practices, medical care centres (MVZ), and healthcare facilities – not for private use. As examination and treatment furniture, each gynaecological chair is classified as a medical device and complies with the requirements of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR).

Function and Technology at a Glance

Modern gynaecological chairs are electrically adjustable and designed for efficient clinical workflows. Using a foot switch or hand control unit, medical staff can operate multiple motors to adjust seat height, backrest angle, pelvic tilt, and leg sections independently. This stepless adjustment supports optimal patient positioning and promotes an ergonomic working posture during examinations and procedures.

Leg positioning is typically achieved using Göpel leg supports or padded leg rests, which can be adjusted to suit both the patient and the type of procedure. Load capacity is an important selection criterion, as the maximum permitted patient weight determines suitability for specific clinical environments. For hygiene and infection control, wipeable and disinfectable upholstery is essential; high-quality, low-seam materials simplify surface disinfection between patients and support consistent hygienic standards.

Types of Chairs Compared

Gynaecological Examination Chairs

The gynaecological examination chair is designed for routine and preventive examinations and represents the standard equipment in gynaecology practices. It is primarily intended for gynaecologists and gynaecology clinics. Electrically powered adjustment of seat height, backrest angle, and pelvic tilt enables fast, consistent positioning, supporting efficient workflows in daily clinical use.

Examination and Treatment Chairs (Multi-purpose)

Multi-purpose chairs combine examination and treatment functions in a single unit and are suitable for practices that provide both gynaecological and urological care. Their multi-part design, removable leg supports, and flexible positioning options allow a wide range of procedures to be performed safely and efficiently. This chair type therefore addresses both gynaecologists and urologists.

In addition, each chair can be individually configured through a wide range of accessories and options. Göpel-style leg supports, footrests, different upholstery colours, mounting clamps, and a standard rail for optional accessories are available across the range to meet specific clinical and practice requirements.

Purchasing Decision: Equipment, Dimensions and Accessories

The selection of the appropriate gynaecological chair depends on the specialty, the range of examinations performed, and the frequency of use. Practices focused primarily on preventive care and diagnostics are well served by a dedicated examination chair, while mixed gynaecology and urology practices benefit from a more versatile multi-purpose chair. During planning, available floor space, required adjustment ranges for height and tilt, and the necessary movement radius around the chair should be carefully considered. A wide range of accessories – including leg supports, footrests, covers, and mounting clamps – allows each model to be precisely adapted to the clinical workflow.

Manufacturers in the Range

Praxisdienst offers a selection of established manufacturers, ensuring a broad range of configurations without focusing on a single brand. AGA is represented with electrically adjustable examination chairs, including models with three maintenance-free electric motors controlled via foot switch for seat height, backrest, and pelvic tilt adjustment, as well as integrated power sockets. ARSIMED specialises in multi-purpose chairs for gynaecology and urology, such as the three-part Beta Gynaecology Chair, which features a removable leg support and electrically controlled adjustments via a hand control unit for flexible clinical use. The portfolio is complemented by CARINA MEDICAL, offering a wide selection of chairs and accessories to support almost any practice configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gynaecological Chairs

Yes. A gynaecological chair is used for examination and treatment and is therefore classified as a medical device. The requirements of the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) apply to its placing on the market and operation, defining standards for safety, performance, and documentation.

The price depends on configuration and design. Basic examination chairs are significantly less expensive than fully motorised multi-purpose chairs with multiple actuators, hand controls, and extensive accessories. As a gynaecological chair represents a long-term investment for a practice, it is advisable to compare feature levels rather than focusing solely on the entry price.

A gynaecological chair is a specially designed examination and treatment unit for gynaecology and, in some cases, urology. Key features include electrically adjustable sections and leg positioning via Göpel-type stirrups or leg supports, enabling a safe and optimised position for clinical examinations.

Dimensions vary depending on the model and configuration. For room planning, key factors include the footprint of the chair, the minimum and maximum seating height, the backrest tilt range, and sufficient working space for medical staff. Exact measurements can be found in the respective product specifications.

Adjustment is performed electrically via a foot switch or hand control. Multiple motors independently control seat height, backrest, pelvic elevation, and leg section, allowing precise and reproducible positioning for each examination.
