The Salli Ergorest is one of the only dynamic upper limb support saddle stools available in the UK. What makes this chair so unique is the dynamic upper limb supports which allow your arms to move effortlessly in the horizontal plane. This means you can offload the arms during dynamic repetitive movements and arm movements that would normally put the upper limb under repeated low grade stresses. As rear supports the Salli Ergorest still allows you to get very close to the patient and has a back rest to provide extra back support for those prolonged procedures.

The support is most popular for dental surgeons and can be configured with either the Twin or Salli Multi-adjuster stool. It is also worth noting that because the supports are moveable they are designed to take the weight of the arm and will get damaged if you use them like standard armrests to get out of the chair.

The patented, saddle shaped seat top is designed to facilitate a more upright position by tilting the pelvis forward. Although users can still slouch on this stool, the positioning encourages you to work your core muscles and sit more upright. In the longer term working the core muscles during saddle sitting is thought by a number of healthcare professionals to play a role in improving posture and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury..

Key Questions

What is the difference between the Salli Ergorest Twin and the Multi option?

The only difference is that the Multiadjuster allows you to change the width and angle between the two parts of the saddle. If you want the multi option please contact us. 

How far does the seat move?

The lever based tilt enables you to rotate the seat top up to 30 degrees.

Gas Stem

The gas stem height dictates the height of the seat and so it is crucial you take the time to ensure that it will suit your height. There are four gas stem options which should be selected based on your height. The short gas spring is suitable for users under 160 cm, medium for users between 155–180 cm and long spring for users that are over 170 cm. There is also Mini gas spring is for individuals who have extra low gas stem height requirements – please contact us for more information on the mini gas stem as it is not a standard product. It is worth noting that the spring mechanism on the Salli Swing and Swing Fit adds 5cm in height to the seat height, which means that the short gas spring is suitable for users under 165 cm, medium for users between 160–185 cm and long spring for users that are over 175 cm.

Upholstery

There is a range of fabric options available. For dental use the two most popular options are the leather and artificial leather fabrics. For normal dental practices, we recommend the breathable and durable genuine leather, and for laboratories the disinfectable artificial leather.

Additional Accessories

Footring

The footring is designed to be fastened at the bottom of the gas stem and is designed to provide a firm support surface for the feet when sitting in a higher position.

Foot Aduster:

Occasionally dental professionals need to keep hands free for procedure they are working on and do not want to then have to adjust the seat height. In these situations some dentists prefer to use a foot adjuster to control the height of the stool. The foot adjuster is positioned just above the stool base and allows effortless height adjustment with the press of the foot.
