Midmark 9A337001-216 - FOOTREST, 24" WIDE-PEBBLE GREY, EACH
The Midmark 9A337001-216 Footrest is a 24 inch wide clinical support accessory designed to enhance patient comfort and positioning during examinations and treatments. Finished in a professional pebble grey tone, the footrest integrates seamlessly into modern medical environments while maintaining the durability expected in high traffic healthcare settings. Built for compatibility with Midmark examination and procedure chairs, the unit provides stable lower limb support that assists providers in achieving proper clinical positioning without causing patient strain.
In busy outpatient practices, patient stability is essential not only for comfort but also for procedural accuracy. This footrest supports a natural leg angle, reducing muscle tension and preventing slipping during examinations. Its medical grade construction withstands repeated cleaning cycles and daily clinical use while maintaining its appearance and structural integrity.
Key Benefits
The wide 24 inch platform accommodates a broad range of patient body types and positioning requirements. Patients can rest both feet securely without imbalance, helping them feel stable during intake assessments, examinations, and minor procedures.
The pebble grey surface offers a neutral clinical aesthetic that complements most procedure room designs while concealing normal wear better than lighter finishes. This helps maintain a professional appearance across years of use.
Its sturdy design improves provider ergonomics. Proper leg positioning reduces the need for manual adjustment by staff, decreasing strain and allowing clinicians to maintain focus on patient care.
The durable material resists cracking and discoloration from common disinfectants, enabling reliable infection control without premature replacement costs.
Compatibility and Applications
The footrest is designed for use with compatible Midmark examination tables and procedure chairs commonly found in primary care, specialty clinics, and outpatient surgical centers. It supports routine medical examinations, wound care procedures, dermatology treatments, gynecological assessments, and general patient evaluations.
Facilities that perform frequent seated examinations benefit from the improved positioning stability provided by the accessory. It is also suitable in rehabilitation and physical therapy environments where patients require supported lower limb placement during evaluation or treatment.
Usage Guidelines
Install the footrest according to the equipment mounting points provided on the compatible chair or table. Ensure secure attachment before patient use. Patients should place both feet flat on the platform to maintain balanced posture.
Healthcare providers should confirm the patient is comfortably positioned before beginning examination. The footrest should not be used as a step for mounting onto the table unless specifically approved by the equipment manufacturer.
After each patient encounter, clean and disinfect the surface using approved medical disinfectants following facility infection control protocol.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The product is manufactured to meet medical equipment safety expectations for clinical furniture accessories. Materials used are appropriate for healthcare environments and compatible with standard sanitation practices. Its construction supports patient stability and reduces the risk of movement during examination when properly installed and used.
Comparison with Competitors
Unlike generic examination chair footrests, this Midmark component is engineered specifically for compatible clinical equipment, ensuring proper alignment and secure integration. Third party alternatives often rely on universal mounting designs which may create instability or misalignment during procedures.
The wider support surface distinguishes it from narrower economy models that force patients to position their feet closely together. The additional width improves comfort and decreases involuntary movement during treatment.
Durability is another advantage. Many lower cost footrests use coated metal prone to paint wear, while this model uses healthcare appropriate materials designed to withstand routine cleaning chemicals without surface degradation.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary care clinics use the footrest during routine examinations such as vital assessments, diabetic foot checks, and minor procedures. Dermatology practices rely on it for stability during skin treatments requiring patient stillness.
Gynecology and urology providers benefit from improved positioning when performing seated patient consultations or preliminary evaluations. Rehabilitation centers also incorporate the accessory when assessing range of motion and posture.
Facilities focused on patient experience appreciate the comfort improvement, especially when treating elderly or mobility limited individuals who need stable lower limb support.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Inspect the mounting hardware regularly to ensure continued stability. Tighten fittings if loosening occurs due to frequent use. Clean after each patient using approved disinfectants and avoid abrasive pads that could damage the finish.
Routine maintenance includes checking for surface cracks, structural bending, or attachment wear. Addressing minor issues early prevents equipment downtime and maintains patient safety.
Maintain dry surfaces after cleaning to prevent slipping and ensure consistent patient support during examinations.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This accessory should be used only with compatible medical furniture and according to manufacturer guidance. It is intended to support patient positioning and not to bear full body weight during mounting or transfer unless specified by the equipment system.
Facilities should incorporate the footrest into their preventive maintenance and safety inspection schedule. Proper installation and inspection reduce risk of patient movement during procedures and help maintain compliance with general healthcare safety protocols.
