The Score Amazone Stool has the narrowest seat width in the range and is our most popular Score dental saddle stool for females. In contrast to the Salli-stools, the Amazone saddle has a full single seat saddle without any split. Apart from the narrow shape, one of the most popular features of the seat is the lever based anterior and posterior tilting mechanism. This feature not only allows you to put more weight thought the legs (which is great for manoeuvrability) but also allows you to naturally tilt the pelvis forwards, which in turn encourages you to sit more upright. Like all the other Score Dental Saddles the Amazone has a simple, lever based height adjustment and highly engineered base to facilitate easy height adjustment and maximal manoeuvrability around the practice.

THE IDEA

Like a horse saddle, the Amazone stool seat top positions the legs to the side of the stool and tilts the pelvis forward which results in a more upright sitting position. By sitting higher and extending the spine into a more natural, neutral position the seat is designed to relieve pain caused by poor posture and to reduce the risk of back pain, neck pain and other musculoskeletal disorders.

THE FEATURES

•  Lever based forward and backwards tilting to enable pelvic tilting and a more upright sitting position
  •    Seat height adjustment

THE RANGE EXPLAINED

Despite the small number of chairs in the Score seating range, it can be difficult to know which will be the ideal one for your needs. The table below is designed to highlight the key similarities and difference and some of the advantages and disadvantages of different seats:

MOST POPULAR DENTAL QUESTIONS

WHO SHOULD USE THE AMAZONE?

The vast majority of females who trial the Amazone stool get on very well. In particular dental professionals who get pain relief from a more upright spine position tend to find the higher sitting position and forward pelvic tilt more comfortable. 

HOW FAR DOES THE SEAT MOVE?

Using the lever adjustment the seat will tilt through a range of up to 20 degrees.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AMAZONE AND AMAZONE BALANCE?

The stools are identical in every way except for the movement mechanism. The movement mechanism on the standard Amazone allows lever based forwards and backwards tilt whilst the active movement mechanisms on the Amazone Balance allows a small amount of movement in all direction

Gas Stem

The gas stem is the central strut that connects the base to the seat top and is the mechanism that enables you to adjust the height of the stool. There are three gas stem options which should be selected based on your height.

• Low (Work surface height 70-80 cm)
• Standard (Work surface height 80-90 cm)
• High (Work surface height 90-100 cm)

Seat Mechanism

There are three mechanisms at the top of the score saddle stool.

• Fixed Seat: The fixed seat is the mechanism that effectively holds the seat in a fixed position. The advantage of this type of mechanism is that it is the cheapest mechanism available. The disadvantage is that the stool does not enable much movement or tilting at the pelvis. For this reason, we don’t offer this option on the website.
• Adjustable Seat: A tilting mechanism enables you to use a lever to adjust the upright position of the saddle. By tilting the saddle seat forwards you are able to put more weight through your feet and sit more upright. We have found this mechanism to be very successful with individuals who get pain when their back is flexed and are more comfortable in a more upright position.
• Balance: The alternative to the tilt mechanism is the balance mechanism which allows a small degree of movement in all directions whilst sitting on the stool. This mechanism has been inspired by swiss ball sitting and is designed to strengthen your core muscles as they work to maintain the seat position.

Castors

As a standard the stools come with castors suitable for hard floors. However, we can supply other castors including castors for carpets, lockable castors and loaded castors. If you are not sure what castors you need please contact us

Upholstery

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

Backrest

The backrest is designed to give an extra layer of support for longer procedures and for dental professionals with specific spine support needs. The support fits into the low part of the spine and is both height adjustable and back angle adjustable.

360 DEGREE SUPPORT:

The 360 degree upper limb support is a highly adjustable dynamic support. The unique feature of this support is the ability to position the support at any position around the body, this gives the user an enormous amount of flexibility in terms of upper limb support and is particularly popular with dental hygienists and dental nurses.
