LINK CT-500

General optometry practices use the CT-500 as a fully electric workhorse for routine refraction, visual acuity, and general eye health checks, where the compact footprint matters as much as functionality in space-constrained consulting rooms. Equipment reliability is a recurring concern for practices with tight booking gaps, and a well-documented, function-tested unit reduces the risk of unplanned downtime that could disrupt a full clinic day already booked back-to-back.

Ophthalmology clinics running slit lamp and anterior segment examinations benefit from the tabletop's slit lamp interface option and the swing arm's stable +35-degree angle across a 60-degree range, which together support consistent instrument placement throughout a full day of patient appointments. The two-instrument tabletop capacity covers standard refraction and slit lamp protocols without requiring a larger-capacity unit, keeping the overall cabinet footprint down.

Optical retail settings, including independent opticians and smaller high-street chains, favour the CT-500 for its smaller footprint and fully electric, combined design, which reduces both the floor space demand and the physical effort required from staff compared with manually adjusted equipment. The rechargeable ophthalmoscope socket also keeps supplementary diagnostic equipment ready without extra bench-top charging clutter, and customisable seat colour lets practices match equipment to their branding.

Distributors and multi-site optical group buyers use the CT-500 as a standardised, dual-voltage unit to consistently outfit space-constrained locations, since its AC220V/110V, 50/60Hz electrical specification works reliably across different regional power standards without modification. Medigear.uk supports these buyers with bulk configuration advice, staggered delivery scheduling, and consistent documentation across multi-unit orders.

Compact Footprint for Space-Constrained Practices

At 1100 × 800 × 2100 mm, the CT-500 has a smaller base footprint than other units in the range, making it a practical fit for consulting rooms with limited floor space. Independent opticians and smaller clinics get full combination-unit functionality without redesigning their room layout. This space efficiency is one of the CT-500's most practical everyday advantages.

Configurable Slit Lamp Interface

The unit is available with a built-in slit lamp mounting interface or a plain tabletop, letting buyers match the configuration to their existing instrumentation rather than adapting equipment to fit the table. This flexibility reduces compatibility issues at installation. Medigear.uk can advise on which option suits your setup.

Built-In Rechargeable Ophthalmoscope Socket

The cabinet's built-in charging socket keeps supplementary diagnostic equipment ready without a separate charging station taking up bench space. This small convenience adds up across a busy day of ophthalmoscope-based exams.

CE-Marked, Procurement-Ready Documentation

The unit carries CE marking, and Medigear.uk provides available service history and documentation appropriate for procurement review at the point of purchase. That documentation is usually the deciding factor in how quickly a capital equipment purchase clears sign-off. Medigear.uk can confirm the additional paperwork required by a specific trust or clinic.

Dual-Voltage Electrical Compatibility

Running on AC220V/110V at 50/60Hz means the same unit specification works across UK/EU and North American-style power supplies without a separate transformer. This is a genuine advantage for distributors supplying multiple regions from a single unit configuration. Medigear.uk can confirm the exact plug configuration supplied.

Lighter Build Simplifies Delivery Logistics

At 180 kg, the CT-500 is lighter than other units in the range, which can simplify delivery and installation logistics for practices in buildings with tighter access or older lift capacity. Medigear.uk confirms exact delivery requirements during a pre-delivery survey.

Customisable Seat Colour for Branding

Seat colour can be customised on request, allowing practices to align the appearance of their equipment with their branding or interior design without compromising functional specifications. Medigear.uk can advise on customisation options and the impact on lead time.

Distributor and Multi-Site Configuration Support

Distributors and optical groups sourcing for multiple locations can achieve consistent unit specifications and staggered delivery schedules through Medigear.uk, simplifying procurement across several sites at once. Bulk pricing and lead-time coordination are handled directly with the Medigear.uk sales team.

Single-Supplier After-Sales Support

Buyers deal directly with Medigear.uk for warranty terms, service queries, and any follow-up support rather than coordinating between separate equipment vendors. That single point of contact simplifies ongoing equipment management for busy practices.

Maximum Unit Size: 1100 × 800 × 2100 mm

The unit's compact overall dimensions suit space-constrained consulting rooms while still accommodating full movement of the table, arm, and seat.

Table Size: 890 × 405 mm, ABS Hard Plastic

The ABS hard plastic tabletop provides a durable, two-instrument-capacity work surface built for daily clinical use.

Table Moving Distance: 335 mm

335 mm of table travel allows practitioners to slide the tabletop into position without manual lifting or repositioning the unit.

Table Moving Angle: 90 Degrees Outwards

A 90-degree outward table rotation reconfigures the work surface for different examination types or clears it entirely when not needed.

Swing Arm Angle: +35 Degrees

The swing arm's +35-degree+35-degree angle provides a precise vertical positioning range for instrument placement relative to the patient.

Swing Arm Rotation Range: 60 Degrees

A 60-degree rotation range delivers stable, accurate instrument positioning between examination steps throughout a clinical day.

Seat Rotation Angle: 45 Degrees

45 degrees of seat rotation gives practitioners flexible access to the patient from multiple angles during different exam stages.

Seat Height Range: 550–700 mm, Electric Adjustment

Electric seat height adjustment across a 550–700 mm range accommodates patients of varying heights without manual effort from staff.

Seat Reclining Angle: 120–140 Degrees

A 120–140-degree reclining range supports patient comfort across different examination positions and during longer consultations.

Seat Load Capacity: 250 kg, Armrest 100 kg

A 250 kg seat rating and separately rated 100 kg armrests cover the great majority of adult patients without additional support equipment.

LED Light Source: 5V1A, 3.6W

The 5V1A, 3.6W LED light source provides consistent illumination for exam work with low power draw and minimal heat output.

Configurable Slit Lamp Interface

Two tabletop options are available: one with a built-in slit lamp mounting interface and one without, allowing buyers to match the configuration to their instrumentation.

Built-In Rechargeable Ophthalmoscope Socket

An integrated charging socket keeps supplementary diagnostic equipment ready for use without the need for a separate charging station on the bench.

Dual Electrical Voltage: AC220V/110V, 50/60Hz

The unit accepts both 220V and 110V input at 50Hz or 60Hz, making it adaptable across different regional power standards without a separate transformer.

Gross Weight and Packing: 180 kg, 1.38 Cubic Metres

At 180 kg gross weight, the lightest unit in the range, and 1.38 cubic metres packing volume, freight and installation planning is straightforward.

The LINK CT-500 ophthalmic table chair unit gives opticians, eye clinics, and distributor networks a fully electric combination unit for routine refraction, slit lamp, and general eye examination work, whether that's a compact single-room practice, a smaller multi-chair clinic, or a multi-site optical group standardising equipment across space-constrained locations. Its 335 mm table travel, 250 kg seat capacity, and dual-voltage electrical compatibility keep both patient handling and installation logistics practical for day-to-day use, while its smaller footprint and lighter 180 kg build simplify siting compared with larger units in the range. Documentation and service history should be confirmed on the specific unit being purchased before procurement sign-off.
