Midmark Ritter 491 Power Otolaryngology Chair System

Exams, procedures and surgeries are faster, easier and more stable with the Midmark 491. It positions patients precisely… at the touch of a button. The 491's power low height of 22 inches makes mounting and dismounting the chair easy for patients. Its highest height of 31 inches lets the physician put patients at their most comfortable working height and tapered headrests and narrow 18½ inches width lets the physician work in close.

The 491's power back goes from an upright 90° angle to completely flat position. The "Auto Return" button quickly returns the patient to the dismount position.

Power controls are located on both sides of the chair's back. An optional foot control allows the physician to maintain a sterile field.

The 491's positioning flexibility is further enhanced by 330° rotation.

The extremely stable power chair

The 491's solid steel base makes the chair extremely stable. Physicians work with more confidence and patients feel less anxious, especially during delicate otolaryngologic procedures.

Work in close

Tapered headrests and a narrow 18½ inches width let the physician work in close. Armrests lower when the chair reclines, or they rotate up and out of the physician's way. And the footrest locks into the upright position when flipped out of the way with a touch of the toe—for easy front access.

Two hospital grade electrical receptacles let the physician plug in lights, accessories and equipment without tripping over cords. Specially designed exam lights can be ordered as attached accessories or may be field-installed later.

Choose from three headrests

Three fully articulating styles are available. The 491 comes standard with a full size headrest and the optional occipital or contoured headrests can be added.
