Market Assessment

The industry leading chairs are reliable, smooth and familiar to almost every surgeon. However, when studied with fresh eyes, issues and opportunities to improve upon existing chairs become clear.

Constraining arm rests contribute to the neck and shoulder issues of ophthalmologists by blocking free movement and compromising ideal arm and wrist position.

Restricting seat cushions lack contouring for the back of legs and can cut off circulation along the sciatic nerve.

Oversized footprints make it difficult for a second surgeon to comfortably work in proximity to the first surgeon due to limited leg room.
