Assistant stools
The Posiflex stool, your best assistant!
Posiflex innovates once again with its version of the dental assistant stool, P8. Our dental assistant stools allows both a thoracic support and an ergonomic lumbar support.
Too often, we forget the importance of posture at work. The Posiflex enlarged torso support, in arched or in 8 shape, allows for a more upright position and more space to rest the arms.
The lumbar support, meanwhile, allows to follow the lumbar curve to keep the back in its natural position.
Depending on your needs, several configurations are available, including a regular or saddle-type seat and a circular, height-adjustable footrest.
Saddle stool - PS388
The Posiflex PS388 showcases our famous saddle type of seat. The seat shape allows you to get closer to the patient, while taking advantage of a precise lumbar support that helps keep your back straight. The sitting-standing position allows you to work higher while keeping your feet on the ground. This makes travel easier, faster and safer, while avoiding twisting. This unique molded foam shape provides incomparable comfort!
The enlarged arched ventral support is ideal for this type of seat. Longer and wider, it offers more support space for the arms in the working position.
Stool with 8 shape torso support - P8
Our P8 dental assistant chair includes chest support and lumbar support. This model is recommended for those who work face-to-face or bias, and to be avoided if working sideways. This design favors a more upright position and thus provides more support space for the arms.
* Adjustable height foot ring and choice of long cylinder or extra long (see the product spec sheet).
Ambidextreous torso support
The thoracic support in 8, by its symmetrical shape, is easily interchangeable, from one side to the other, in few seconds. This is as suitable for right-handed as left-handed.
Clinical study on torso support in 8
Being able to work pain-free is a real challenge for dental assistants. Pain reduces job satisfaction, can lead to loss of work time and even shorten career longevity. This article will attempt to explain some of the causes of this pain and also provide information about new support features for dental assistant stools designed to reduce work-related pain. Users were recently surveyed to investigate the effectiveness of this new stool.
With the wider support, three-quarters of the assistants were able to support both elbows. Lower back pain was significantly reduced from 66% to 29%.
