DISCLOSURE OF THE MODEL

The above indicated model refers to an unprecedented and versatile chair for medical works, specially gynecological examination, aiming at better attendance, the obtaintion of better results, the patient's comfort, and total quality for the gynecologists, through a chair provided with a three-parted seat, with a 90° degree movement, articulated lateral arms, so they can be disposed in parallel to the back of the chair.

A patient who is comfortable and relaxed allows the physician to work better, and consequently the results will be beneficial to all the involved parties. There are several models of gynecological tables for gynecological examinations, but none with the design and concept of the presented chair, as well as no other that can make examinations more convenient for the doctor and the patient. If you take into consideration how uncomfortable gynecological tables usually are, specially for old women with locomotion difficulty, who, needing to be examined, are badly positioned, suffer pains resulting from muscles contraction, thus interfering with the correct medical diagnosis . Thinking about the solution if these problems, was the reason why the inventor developed this project, which joins comfort and easiness in an object essential to the medical field.
