Haag-Streit Launches Surgical Chair 900

Haag-Streit is proud to announce the launch of the Surgical Chair 900. The Surgical Chair 900 (previously known as CO:RE Surgical Chair) is the first chair to consider every aspect of the ophthalmic surgeon’s experience in the surgical suite.

Ophthalmic surgeons are at risk of musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain, especially when working in a surgical chair that does not provide optimal support or mobility. Haag-Streit collaborated with ophthalmologists to understand their unique challenges and created an ergonomic solution. The Surgical Chair 900 promotes better posture and comfort with both vertical and horizontal lumbar support. It also accommodates surgeons of varying heights with seat adjustability for perfect hip and leg alignment.

The chair's design allows for a full range of motion. The armless seat back provides support without impeding the arms and elbows, while ergonomically placed pedal controls allow the user to effortlessly raise or lower the seat and lock it into place. The base and column were also designed for easy cleaning and disinfection.

Jeff Sieve, CEO & President, Haag-Streit USA, said, “At Haag-Streit, we strongly believe in the importance of ergonomics and its impact on overall wellness. We are committed to providing high-quality equipment that meets the ergonomic needs of eye care professionals. Investing in ergonomic equipment is not only beneficial for the physician’s well-being and career longevity, but can also lead to improved productivity, accuracy, and patient care. The Surgical Chair 900 supports ideal ergonomic positioning, promoting a healthier and more comfortable work environment.”

The Surgical Chair 900 will be showcased at the Haag-Streit booth (Booth 927) at ASCRS 2023 in San Diego. Attendees are invited to visit the booth for product demonstrations from Saturday, May 6 to Monday, May 8, 2023. In addition, there will be ergonomic discussions with Michael E. Snyder, MD on May 6 from 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM PT and with Yuri McKee, MD on May 7 from 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM PT in the Haag-Streit booth.
