    Hello,
    I'm looking at renewing my podiatry patients chair, I currently have a chair and a bed, but thinking of combining them due to lack of space in my office. can anyone suggest a good brand, I've looked at Merton and plynth 2000 also adivice on dividing legs or solid segments for the chair? I do BMX assembly's as well as general chair. Pros and cons would be great please. Thanks for your help :)

    Definitely a split leg chair for podiatry, some patients find having both feet up at the same time uncomfortable, if they have back or leg problems.

    Had a plinth 2000 for 15 years, split leg. Use it for general podiatry stuff as well as MSK mobs, massage work. Been faithful product with no problems.

    I've used Plinth 2000 for years too - great service. I personally prefer single leg (initially used split legs) as I find them more hygienic (easier to keep clean) plus when doing biomechanical exams I find a flat surface better as the patients legs don't roll into the gaps between the legs. I put a cushion behind patients knees if they have back issues or drop the whole segment and very occasionally a patient will ask to hang one leg over the side.
