ABSTRACT:
An improved surgeon's chair is disclosed providing adjustable bodily support to a seated surgeon to prevent inadvertent fatigue, and a design enabling access to the chair without compromising the sterility of the surrounding operating area. The chair includes a frame assembly that supports both a seat assembly and a dual pivoting support having a plurality of body pads. A lifting mechanism attached to the seat assembly allows the seat assembly to be positioned at the desired vertical height. A knee rest assembly connected to the frame assembly provides support to the knees and shins of the surgeon. The dual pivoting support includes upper and lower sections that are independently rotatable and which rotate around respective laterally spaced vertical axes. The lower rotational section allows the body pads to be selectively positioned according to the girth and comfort of the surgeon. A releasable locking device on the upper rotational section is provided to allow selective positioning of the upper rotational section according to the comfort of the surgeon and to maintain operating area sterility when the surgeon approaches and leaves the chair.
