MEDICAL SURGEON
In surgical practice, the seated position represents one of the greatest health risks, as during prolonged procedures, the posture is unnatural and involves constant repetitive movements. Sitting improperly places twice the pressure on the spine compared to standing, due to the increased load on the lumbar intervertebral discs, which occurs when the spine’s natural curvature is compromised. On a two-part saddle chair, however, the back remains in the same ergonomic position as when standing, providing greater comfort and prevention of musculoskeletal pain. The solution? The Salli Surgery e Ergorest.
Benefits of the Salli chair for medical surgeons:
- Improves leg circulation and reduces foot swelling, common after long hours of surgery.
- Reduces tension in the back, neck, and shoulders, maintaining a neutral posture throughout the procedure.
- Provides better positioning of the hips and knees, preventing joint pain.
- Contributes to genital health by providing better airflow and avoiding compression and overheating—aspects often overlooked but essential for comfort during long working hours.
- Decreases the chances of developing osteoarthritis and cervical vertebra problems.
- Promotes an ideal ergonomic posture, preventing kyphosis (hunchback) and spinal misalignment.
Ergonomics in the operating room is essential not only for patient safety but also for the longevity and well-being of the surgeon. Studies show that proper ergonomic practices can significantly reduce fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, ensuring a longer and healthier career. The Salli chair offers an innovative solution to transform the surgical experience, providing comfort, health, and efficiency.
