Optional ‘breathing and filtering’ cushions provide a safe and healthy environment for patients. The filtering cushions prevent unintended deposits of bacteria, and growth from repeated patient use. The PCT chair offers a variety of extras to include plush seating, optional foot controls, and extra weight capacity for all circumstances and needs in proctology exams. The hand controls provided with the chair allow ease of access to easily adjust the backrest, leg rest, as well as the height. An optional patient and controller set attached to the chair’s leg rest for quick access includes extra convenience for physicians.
