Product Description

Electric Tilting – 2 Motors with Foot Controls

Comfortable patient positioning and easier access to the feet during professional podiatry treatments.

The Electric Tilting Podiatry Chair with 2 Motors is designed for podiatrists and foot health professionals who need flexible patient positioning during examinations and treatments. Combining powered adjustment, foot-operated controls and a tilting seat, it helps clinicians position patients at a practical working height while supporting comfort throughout appointments.

Its Trendelenburg tilt facility can raise the foot end to approximately 165cm, providing improved access to the heels and soles when working in a standing position. Adjustable leg sections, a reclining backrest and swing-back armrests provide further flexibility for routine foot care and clinical assessment.

Key Selling Points

Easier Access to the Feet

Electric height adjustment and seat tilt help bring the patient's feet into a more convenient working position, reducing the need for repeated manual repositioning.

Hands-Free Foot Controls

Foot-operated adjustment allows clinicians to change supported chair positions without needing to operate the controls by hand.

Elevated Heel Working Position

Trendelenburg positioning allows the foot end to rise to approximately 165cm, helping clinicians access the heels when working while standing.

Flexible Patient Positioning

An adjustable backrest, leg sections and extending foot supports accommodate different examination and treatment positions.

Accessible Armrest Design

Stay-level swing-back armrests can be moved aside or removed to provide easier access when patients enter or leave the chair.

Long-Term Clinic Investment

UK manufacture, CE marking, available spare parts and a comprehensive component warranty provide practical reassurance for professional use.

What Does the Chair Do and How Does It Work?

The chair provides an adjustable treatment platform that helps clinicians position patients for foot and lower-limb examinations. Rather than relying on a fixed seat height and angle, practitioners can adjust the chair to improve access to the area being assessed or treated.

The two-motor system supports powered chair positioning, with foot controls available for convenient operation. The chair combines electric height adjustment with tilting functionality, allowing the patient to be positioned according to the requirements of the procedure.

The Trendelenburg function tilts the seat to raise the lower limbs relative to the upper body. In podiatry, this can help bring the feet into a more accessible position for heel assessment, treatment and other close-up foot care procedures.

Additional adjustability is provided through the backrest, leg sections and extending foot supports. The chair can also be positioned fully flat, providing flexibility for procedures that require a reclined treatment position.

What is Trendelenburg positioning?

Trendelenburg positioning involves tilting the body so that the feet are higher than the head. On this podiatry chair, the function provides an additional way of raising the patient's feet for clinical access. It should only be used where appropriate for the individual patient and procedure.

Common Clinical Positioning Challenges It May Help With

Difficult Access to the Heels

Examining or treating the heel can be awkward when the patient's feet remain too low. The elevating and tilting functions allow the clinician to select a more accessible position.

Repeated Repositioning During Treatment

Changing working height or patient position manually can interrupt treatment. Powered adjustment helps simplify these transitions during appointments.

Awkward Practitioner Working Postures

A fixed-height chair may require excessive bending or reaching. Height and tilt adjustment can help practitioners adopt a more suitable position when working seated or standing.

Different Patient Positioning Needs

Patients may require varying degrees of back, seat and leg support. The chair's adjustable sections provide flexibility to accommodate individual positioning requirements.

Clinical context: This chair can support positioning during the assessment or management of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, corns, calluses, toenail conditions and other common podiatry concerns. The chair itself does not treat these conditions; its purpose is to facilitate examination and professional care.

Applications and Suitability

The chair is intended for professional environments where reliable patient positioning and access to the feet are important.

  • Private podiatry practices: Routine examinations, nail care, skin treatments and lower-limb assessments.
  • Foot health clinics: Adjustable positioning for ongoing foot care and treatment appointments.
  • NHS and community clinical settings: Suitable for consideration where professional podiatry equipment is required and local equipment requirements are met.
  • Specialist heel work: Elevated foot positioning for clinicians who prefer to perform certain procedures while standing.
  • Multidisciplinary clinical rooms: A flexible examination chair where adjustable seated and reclined positioning is useful.

Best suited to: Podiatrists, chiropodists and appropriately trained foot health professionals seeking a professional electric treatment chair with foot-operated adjustments and Trendelenburg tilt.

Who Might This Chair Not Suit?

Although adjustable, this chair will not be the most suitable option for every patient, procedure or clinical environment.

  • Patients requiring specialist transfer equipment: An individual transfer and moving-and-handling assessment may be necessary before use.
  • Patients unable to tolerate reclining or tilted positions: Positioning should always reflect individual clinical needs and restrictions.
  • Clinics requiring additional powered adjustments: Practices needing independently motorised leg rests or a different control configuration should compare the available chair models.
  • Unsupervised domestic use: This is professional clinical equipment intended to be operated according to the supplied instructions.
  • Patients outside the chair's rated working load: The permitted load must be confirmed before use.

For clinics requiring a different motor configuration, compare the available electric podiatry chair options before purchasing.

How to Use the Electric Podiatry Chair

  1. Prepare the chair. Ensure the chair is correctly positioned on a stable surface, with sufficient space for safe movement and operation.
  2. Check patient suitability. Assess the patient's transfer needs, comfort, weight and ability to tolerate the intended treatment position.
  3. Assist patient access. Position the chair appropriately for entry. Move the swing-back armrests aside if needed and support the patient according to the clinic's moving-and-handling procedures.
  4. Adjust working height. Use the appropriate foot controls to position the patient at a suitable height for the planned assessment or treatment.
  5. Select the required tilt. Adjust the chair gradually. Use the elevated foot position or Trendelenburg facility only when clinically appropriate.
  6. Position the backrest and leg sections. Follow the operating instructions to obtain the required supported position without causing discomfort or excessive strain.
  7. Monitor the patient. Check patient comfort and keep all body parts and equipment clear of moving chair sections during adjustment.
  8. Complete the appointment. Return the chair to an appropriate exit position, assist the patient as required and clean the equipment in accordance with clinical infection-prevention procedures.

Operating guidance: These are general clinical-use principles and do not replace the instructions supplied with the chair. Staff should familiarise themselves with the individual controls, safety requirements and maintenance guidance before use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 2-motor electric podiatry chair used for?

This chair is used to position patients during professional podiatry examinations and foot care treatments. Its powered adjustment and tilting functions help clinicians access different areas of the feet while providing supported patient positioning. It is suitable for consideration in podiatry clinics, foot health practices and other appropriate professional treatment environments.

How do foot controls benefit a podiatrist?

Foot controls allow the clinician to operate supported chair adjustments without using their hands. This can make positioning changes more convenient during treatment and helps maintain a practical working routine. Adjustments should always be made gradually, with the patient correctly supported and moving parts kept clear.

Does the chair have Trendelenburg positioning?

Yes, the chair includes a Trendelenburg seat tilt function. This allows the patient's feet to be raised relative to the upper body, which can improve access during certain podiatry procedures. The position should only be used when appropriate for the individual patient and the treatment being performed.

Can the chair be used for heel treatments while standing?

Yes, the elevated positioning capability is particularly useful when clinicians need access to the heel while standing. The foot end can reach approximately 165cm in its raised working position. The clinician should select a suitable height based on the patient, the procedure and their own working posture.

Can the chair be positioned fully flat?

Yes, the chair offers a fully flat positioning capability. This provides additional flexibility for assessments and procedures requiring a reclined patient position. The backrest and leg sections should be adjusted in accordance with the supplied operating instructions.

Are the backrest and leg supports adjustable?

Yes, the backrest adjusts from -15° to +90°, while the leg sections adjust from -30° to +30°. The leg supports also provide up to 15cm of length adjustment. The precise powered and assisted functions should be checked against the supplied configuration for PR0449-2.

Is the chair easy for patients to get on and off?

The stay-level swing-back armrests can be moved out of the way or removed to provide better access to the seat. The chair's adjustable positioning also helps clinicians prepare an appropriate entry or exit position. Patients with reduced mobility may still require individual transfer assistance or specialist equipment.

Is the electric podiatry chair suitable for every patient?

No single treatment chair is appropriate for every patient's clinical or mobility requirements. The practitioner should assess the patient's ability to transfer safely, tolerate the required position and remain within the permitted working load. Additional precautions may be necessary for patients with complex positioning needs.

What warranty and after-sales support are available?

The chair includes a 7-year warranty covering specified frame and material defects and a 3-year warranty for other parts, subject to applicable terms. Spare parts are available to support ongoing maintenance and repairs. Our equipment support and servicing teams can assist with relevant after-sales enquiries.
