LINK CT-500

Ophthalmology outpatient clinics and hospital eye units processing high volumes of routine and specialist examinations require furniture that supports efficient patient throughput without compromising diagnostic precision. The CT-500 chair and stand unit's motorised seat lift from 550 to 700mm enables rapid height adjustment between patients without manual effort, reducing the physical demands of a high-volume clinic session. The 250kg seat load capacity and 45° seat rotation support patients with limited mobility during transfers. For NHS trusts and hospital procurement managers, CE certification provides the documentation baseline for device validation and procurement compliance. Medigear.uk provides full certification documentation and pre-purchase technical support for institutional procurement submissions.

Refraction suites and optometry practices conducting comprehensive eye examinations require a chair and stand configuration that keeps all instruments within precise, stable reach throughout the session. The CT-500's mechanical swing arm — with ±35° adjustment and 60° rotation — provides accurate, repeatable positioning for slit lamps and other ophthalmic instruments, and the 90° outward-rotating table allows instruments to be cleared without repositioning the chair. The rechargeable ophthalmoscope socket ensures cordless ophthalmoscopes are always charged at the point of use. Medigear.uk supplies the CT-500 to optometry practices and distributors through its B2B procurement channel.

Ophthalmic imaging and specialist diagnostic suites conducting anterior and posterior segment examinations benefit from the CT-500's aerodynamic reclining range of 120°–140° for fundoscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy. The ABS instrument table holds two instruments simultaneously, reducing the need for additional trolleys in space-limited consulting rooms.

Domiciliary and home-care ophthalmic services can acquire the CT-500 directly through Medigear.uk. The customisable seat colour and dual slit lamp interface options — with or without interface — support tailored configuration for individual service requirements.

Electric Seat Lift from 550mm to 700mm for Ergonomic Efficiency

The CT-500's motorised seat lift provides 150mm of powered height adjustment between 550mm and 700mm, eliminating the manual effort of a hand-cranked or fixed-height chair across a full day of back-to-back patient examinations. The electric lift allows the operator to adjust patient height precisely relative to the slit lamp or refraction equipment without interrupting the examination workflow, contributing to ergonomic efficiency and reducing cumulative physical strain for clinical staff. The 550mm lower limit accommodates shorter patients and those with mobility impairments who require a lower boarding height, and the 700mm upper limit supports taller patients and standing-reach instrument configurations.

250kg Seat Load Capacity for Inclusive Patient Access

The CT-500's 250kg maximum seat load rating ensures the unit accommodates a broad range of adult patients without weight restrictions that could exclude bariatric patients or limit the clinical settings in which the chair can be deployed. This capacity exceeds the standard 200kg threshold common in non-specialised examination furniture and is confirmed in the manufacturer's specification documentation available through Medigear.uk. The 100kg per armrest rating provides additional structural assurance for patients who rely on armrest support during repositioning or sustained examination positions.

90° Outward Table Rotation for Unobstructed Patient Transfer

The ABS instrument table rotates 90° outwards on demand, moving mounted instruments completely clear of the patient's immediate space for safe and unobstructed patient transfer and repositioning. This rotation eliminates the instrument proximity risk during patient movement that arises with fixed-table examination chairs, and it allows clinical staff full access to both sides of the patient without requiring the patient to navigate around the equipment. The 335mm table travel distance and left/right sliding mechanism provide additional flexibility in table positioning relative to the patient during active examinations.

Dual Slit Lamp Interface Options for Configuration Flexibility

The CT-500 is available in two slit lamp interface configurations — Option 1 with a direct slit lamp interface, and Option 2 without — allowing practices and procurement teams to specify the configuration that matches their instrumentation. This dual-option design eliminates the need for a separate interface adaptor in practices that use slit lamps, while avoiding unnecessary interface hardware for those that do not. Both options are available through Medigear.uk, and the interface preference should be confirmed at order placement.

Mechanical Swing Arm with ±35° Adjustment and 60° Rotation

The mechanical swing arm provides a ±35° angular adjustment arc and 60° rotation range, delivering the precision and stability required for accurate ophthalmic instrument positioning without the complexity of electronic actuation. The mechanical design gives the examiner direct tactile feedback during arm positioning, which is described as providing good feel and accurate positioning for confident instrument placement. The arm's adjustment range covers the principal approach angles used in slit lamp, ophthalmoscope, and ancillary instrument positioning across standard examination protocols.

Aerodynamic Reclining from 120° to 140° for Posterior Segment Examination

The patient seat reclines through a 20° arc from 120° to 140°, covering the principal reclined positions required for indirect ophthalmoscopy, fundal photography, binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy, and other posterior segment procedures. The aerodynamic reclining mechanism provides smooth, controlled position transition rather than stepped manual adjustment, supporting consistent patient positioning across examination sessions and reducing the time required to achieve and maintain specific reclined angles during procedures.

Rechargeable Ophthalmoscope Socket Integrated at Point of Use

The CT-500 includes a rechargeable ophthalmoscope socket built into the stand unit, ensuring cordless ophthalmoscopes are continuously charged and immediately available at the point of use without requiring a separate charging station elsewhere in the consulting room. This integrated charging capability is a practical workflow advantage in high-volume clinics where instrument battery management across multiple rooms can create delays. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific ophthalmoscope model with the Medigear.uk team at point of purchase.

Customisable Seat Colour for Practice Environment Integration

Seat colour on the CT-500 is customisable to order, allowing practices to align examination furniture with their clinic's branded colour scheme, patient environment design, or institutional décor standards. This customisation option is particularly relevant for multi-site clinic groups procuring furniture in bulk for consistent patient experience presentation across locations, and for hospital eye units with estate design specifications. Customisation options, minimum order terms, and lead time implications are confirmed through the Medigear.uk procurement team before order placement.

CE Certification Supporting NHS and Regulated Procurement

The CT-500 carries CE certification confirming conformity with applicable Medical Devices Directive requirements, satisfying the documentary prerequisite for NHS trust procurement approval, hospital device validation sign-off, and regulated clinical environment compliance. CE marking is the primary regulatory credential reviewed by institutional procurement teams during medical equipment approval processes. Medigear.uk provides complete certification documentation, technical file summaries, and manufacturer declarations to support procurement submissions at any institutional complexity level.

Electric Seat Lift Range: 550mm to 700mm, 150mm Travel

The patient seat lifts electrically across a 150mm range from 550mm to 700mm, providing motorised height adjustment without manual effort. The electric lift is the primary operator ergonomic feature for high-volume examination sessions, and the 150mm range covers the clinical height requirements for a broad range of adult patient heights and examination instrument configurations.

Maximum Seat Load: 250kg

The seat structure is rated to a maximum load of 250kg, exceeding the standard 200kg threshold common in non-specialised examination chairs. This capacity ensures the CT-500 is clinically appropriate for bariatric patient examinations without separate weight-limit assessment for each patient.

Seat Rotation: 45°

The seat rotates through 45°, providing lateral repositioning of the patient relative to fixed instrument positions and supporting patient transfer from the chair side without requiring full 360° rotation of the unit.

Seat Lateral Movement: 150mm

The seat moves laterally by 150mm, allowing fine positional adjustment of the patient relative to the instrument stand without moving the chair's base. This lateral movement is useful for precise centration of the patient's eye relative to the optical axis of mounted instruments.

Seat Armrest Load: 100kg Each

Each seat armrest independently supports up to 100kg, providing structural load assurance for patients who use armrests as support during examination or when moving into and out of the seated position.

Seat Reclining Range: 120°–140°

The aerodynamic reclining mechanism moves the seat from 120° to 140°, covering the reclined positions required for posterior segment examination procedures. The smooth aerodynamic mechanism provides controlled position transition rather than stepped adjustment.

Table Material: ABS Hard Plastic, Sliding Left and Right

The instrument table is constructed from ABS hard plastic, providing a durable, cleanable surface appropriate for clinical environments. The table slides left and right for operator positioning flexibility and can rotate 90° outwards for patient access.

Table Rotation: 90° Outward

The table rotates 90° outwards from the working position, clearing all mounted instruments from the patient's immediate space during transfer and repositioning. This rotation is the primary patient safety mechanism during patient movement.

Table Moving Distance: 335mm

The table travels up to 335mm from its home position, providing a substantial range of instrument positioning relative to the patient's seated eye position. This travel distance accommodates different patient postures and instrument optical path requirements.

Table Surface: 890 mm × 405 mm, Dual-Instrument Capacity

The 890 × 405mm table surface accommodates two instruments simultaneously without requiring a supplementary instrument trolley in the consulting room. The dual-instrument capacity is a space efficiency advantage for practices that routinely use multiple instruments per patient examination.

Swing Arm Adjustment: ±35°, 60° Rotation Range

The mechanical swing arm adjusts through a ±35° arc and 60° rotation range, providing instrument positioning flexibility for slit lamps, ophthalmoscopes, and other arm-mounted ophthalmic equipment. The mechanical design provides direct tactile positioning feedback.

Light Source: LED 5V, 1A, 3.6W

The integrated LED light source rated at 5V, 1A, and 3.6W provides efficient, stable illumination at a low power consumption appropriate for continuous clinical use. LED technology provides long lamp life relative to conventional incandescent alternatives. Medigear.uk can confirm replacement light source specifications on request.

Rechargeable Ophthalmoscope Socket

A dedicated rechargeable ophthalmoscope socket is built into the stand, providing integrated charging for cordless ophthalmoscopes at the point of use without requiring a separate charging station. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific ophthalmoscope model through Medigear.uk.

Dual Slit Lamp Interface Options

The CT-500 is available with (Option 1) or without (Option 2) a slit lamp interface connection. Option 1 provides a direct integration point for slit lamp mounting and connection. Option 2 omits this interface for stand-alone instrument configurations. Interface preference must be specified at order.

Power Supply: AC220V / 110V, 50/60Hz

The CT-500 operates on AC220V or 110V at 50Hz or 60Hz, providing dual-voltage compatibility for deployment across international clinical electrical supply environments without transformer conversion. Electrical installation requirements should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk technical team before delivery.

Seat Colour: Customisable

Seat colour is available as a customisation option, allowing practices to specify a colour that matches their clinic environment, brand scheme, or estate standards. Colour options, minimum quantities, and lead time implications are confirmed through the Medigear.uk procurement team at order placement.
