Sintang mt Sonora-260

Product Code: HFAF-EAPF-4419

Upright to get on, reclined by motor, one foot dropped for treatment.

Both leg halves hang at 90° as the patient sits down, and three motors then raise the Sonora-260, recline the backrest to 75° and tilt the top by 12°. Each half returns on its own gas spring, so one foot can stay lowered while the other rests.

Sintang builds the Sonora-260 as a hybrid treatment chair for podiatry and minor procedure services that want powered recline and tilt with a hand-set legrest. Motors drive the height to 900 mm (35.5 in), the backrest from flat to 75° and the top through a 12° tilt, while each half of the split legrest drops from level to 90° on a gas spring. The feature list starts the height at 610 mm (24 in) and the specification at 560 mm (22 in), so plan on 610 mm until the manufacturer's written configuration settles it. Working weight is 200 kg (440 lb), with no memory, rotation, powered legrest or castors.

That split between motors and springs sets the order of work. The patient sits down with both halves hanging; the motors raise and recline them, and the clinician sets each half by hand at the foot end. A separate gas spring sits under each half in the cutaway, so one foot can stay dropped while the other rests level. If the patient feels faint, both halves come up by hand before the backrest flattens and the top tilts.

The neck pillow adjusts and lifts off, showing an oval opening, and both levelled armrests are removable. Under the PU leather lies 8.2 cm (3.3 in) of high-density foam, which Sintang labels "CA-117 fireproof", and the cover's water- and oil-resistance is backed by a five-year guarantee. The drawings show sections at 500, 520, 62,0, and 260 mm from the foot end, and the photographs show blue upholstery.

Overall, the top is 1940–2140 mm long and 580 mm wide, or 810 mm with the armrests, rising to 900 mm. Buyers can order it in more than 80 countries through Medigear.uk, and the enquiry team provides stock and lead times.

The Sonora-260 is laid out for podiatry nail surgery and verruca work, dermatology biopsies and excisions, and minor procedure and injection rooms. A patient gets on with both leg halves down, is raised and reclined by motor, and has one foot dropped for treatment while the other rests, with the head-down tilt held in reserve.

Fainting is the event that the sequence has to absorb. In a 2024 survey of 240 dermatologists, Erdogan and colleagues found that 53% had experienced an emergency during dermatological or surgical procedures, with vasovagal syncope most commonly reported at 58% and biopsies and intralesional injections as the usual setting. Over a quarter (27%) had no basic life support training. The answers were self-reported and recall-dependent, and the authors judged such complications not very common. NHS advice for someone who feels faint is to lie down with the legs raised, which on this chair means levelling both halves by hand before the motors flatten and tilt the top. The tilt is a positioning aid, and the clinic's own protocol decides when to use it.

Podiatrists using it are on the HCPC register, and the GMC and NMC regulate the doctors and nurses who share such rooms. In England, the CQC lists surgical procedures as a regulated activity; in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, Healthcare Improvement Scotland, Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and the RQIA regulate them. Purchases through NHS procurement routes will require electrical safety evidence for three motors, the BS 7176 certificate, and a declaration of conformity; equivalent public procurement elsewhere requires time. The manufacturer issues the conformity documentation those procurement routes require, and the enquiry team shares it.

Getting on with both halves down

With the leg halves hanging at 90°, the patient sits down onto an upright seat and is raised only afterwards.

Recline and tilt from the control

The backrest and the 12° tilt are both motorised, so neither is pushed by hand with a patient aboard.

One foot down at 90°

Each half has its own gas spring in the cutaway, letting the treated foot drop while the other stays supported.

A faint sequence without lifting the trunk

Halves up by hand, backrest flat and top tilted by motor: staff do not lift the patient's upper body at any stage.

Height for standing or seated work

Standing work reaches 900 mm (35.5 in), and stopping lower suits a clinician seated at the feet.

Up to 2140 mm of top

The sheet length runs to 2140 mm, enough for a taller patient lying flat.

Armrests kept level

Whatever the backrest angle, the armrests stay horizontal, and either one lifts away to clear a side.

Three drives and two springs to service

The maintenance list covers three motors, their control and two gas springs, all visible in the cutaway.

A 200 kg patient limit

Booking staff can work to the sheet's 200 kg (440 lb) working weight limit.

Electric height to 900 mm

A motor lifts the top to 900 mm (35.5 in), with a lowest point of 610 mm or 560 mm.

Electric backrest, 0° to 75°

The backrest is motorised from flat to 75°.

Electric tilt through 12°

A third motor tips the whole top head-down by up to 12°, raising the foot end.

Split legrest, 0° to 90°

The legrest splits into left and right halves, with a 0° to 90° range.

A gas spring under each half

In the cutaway photograph, each leg half has its own blue-highlighted gas spring.

Drive units in the cutaway

Blue highlighting picks out drive units under the backrest, under the seat and at the base.

1940–2140 mm top

The drawing marks 1940 mm with dashed pieces at the foot end; the sheet's range reaches 2140 mm, and 2140 mm is the length to plan around.

Four sections from foot to head

Measured from the foot end, the drawing shows sections of 500, 520, 620, and 260 mm.

Width of 580 mm, or 810 mm

At 580 mm (23 in) across, the top widens to 810 mm (32 in) once both armrests are on.

Neck pillow with an oval opening

An adjustable, removable neck pillow sits at the head end, with an oval opening, as shown in the drawing and photo.

Removable armrests, kept level

Each side has a level armrest that can be removed.

Five-year guarantee on the PU

Sintang guarantees the PU leather's water and oil resistance for five years, on terms written into the quotation.

Foam described as CA-117

The 8.2 cm (3.3 in) thick, high-density foam carries Sintang's "CA-117 fireproof" label.

Base without castors

Beneath the seat, a white lift housing sits on a broad base with small feet, and none of the photographs shows castors.

Blue upholstery photographed

The sheet's photographs are in blue, with other colours available through the enquiry team.

69 kg net, 85 kg packed

The chair alone weighs 69 kg (152 lb), and in its 1680 × 880 × 710 mm (66 × 35 × 28 in) carton, it weighs 85 kg (187 lb).

Who should buy the Sonora-260? The answer is podiatry, dermatology and minor procedure services whose lists begin with an upright entry and end with one foot treated on a lowered half, and which want a motorised recline and head-down tilt in the room. Services needing stored positions, rotation, powered leg sections or a seat below 610 mm, or treating patients above 200 kg, should look at another specification. Two answers should come from the manufacturer first: how each motor is recovered in a power cut, and a BS 7176 certificate for this cover and foam. Medigear.uk lists the Sonora-260 for business buyers worldwide and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Ask the enquiry team for the written configuration of the leg halves and lowest height, the control type, the fire and cleaning documents, the guarantee terms and the service schedule before ordering.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

One motor raises and lowers the top, a second reclines the backrest and a third tilts the whole top by up to 12°, matching the three drive units in the cutaway photograph. The two leg halves are manual, each on its own gas spring. The manufacturer's specification, which the enquiry team shares, sets out whether the motors respond to a hand control or a foot switch.

The photographs suggest they do: one shows a half lowered while the other sits higher, and the cutaway places a gas spring under each. Sintang's written list gives a single legrest range of 0° to 90°, so read the manufacturer's written configuration, available from the enquiry team, for how each half is released.

Both figures appear on Sintang's sheet: the feature list gives 610 mm (24 in) and the specification 560 mm (22 in), with 900 mm (35.5 in) at the top of the range either way. Plan seating and transfers on 610 mm, and take the final figure from the manufacturer's written configuration, which the enquiry team shares.

On the drawing, the foot end rises and the head end drops, a head-down tilt of up to 12°. Because it is motorised, you can apply it with a patient on top, but the leg halves should come up level by hand first; otherwise, the feet stay hanging while the head goes down.

With three powered movements, a power cut can leave the top raised, reclined or tilted, although the leg halves still move on their springs. Establish before ordering how each powered movement is returned without mains, whether by battery or manual override, and write that step into the clinic's emergency procedure.

Sintang's "CA-117" points to a Californian furniture standard, Technical Bulletin 117, which in its current 2013 form checks resistance to a smouldering cigarette. UK clinics judge seating against BS 7176 instead, and NHS fire guidance in HTM 05-03 Part C places hospitals at its medium hazard level. Before ordering, establish that the manufacturer's BS 7176 certificate names this cover and foam at the level the building needs, and read "fireproof" as a description, not a test result.

The sheet's functions are height, backrest, tilt, and the two leg halves, with no memory, so each setup is controlled manually. Where a list repeats one position all day, that is a step per patient.

MHRA guidance asks healthcare organisations to keep an electrical safety schedule and to maintain devices at the frequency the manufacturer's instructions set. Three motors and their control put this chair on that schedule. PUWER 1998 adds inspection of the gas springs, armrest fixings, hinges and frame. Positioning, not lifting, is the chair's principal function, which keeps it outside LOLER under HSE's principal-function test.

Flatten the backrest, level both halves, and leave the tilt at 0°, so the top lies flat. The drawing and photograph show an oval opening in the adjustable neck pillow for the face, and the pillow comes off when the head end needs to be clear.

Expect 69 kg (152 lb) for the chair and 85 kg (187 lb) for the 1680 × 880 × 710 mm carton, so you'll need two people and a manual handling assessment. Measure every door and lift on the route against the carton's narrowest side, 710 mm, before the delivery is booked.

The Sonora-260 is typically Class I under UK MDR 2002 where the manufacturer places it on the market as a medical device, as stated on the manufacturer's declaration of conformity, which the enquiry team shares. For Great Britain, the key dates are 30 June 2028 for CE certificates under the EU directives and 30 June 2030 for those under the EU MDR, while UKCA marking has no such deadline. Whether those dates move is still open, since the MHRA's 2026 consultation on later and open-ended recognition had no published response on 16 October 2026. Conformity requirements differ by destination market, and the enquiry team shares the manufacturer's documentation for the intended destination country.

Services that want stored positions, a rotating top or powered leg sections fall outside what this chair offers, and so do patients above 200 kg. Rooms without a socket, chairs that must move between rooms and lifts that depend on a seat below 610 mm point the same way until the written configuration settles the minimum.
