Abstract
To support a patient in an obstetric chair positioned for the convenience of the physician, the patient-receiving portion of the chair is mounted for changes in elevation and for different attitudes and includes channel-like thigh supports which confine the thighs of the patient and a recessed seat portion for supporting the buttocks of the patient. The backrest is vertical to the seat portion and has a central section extending slightly forward with two recessed portions and an overhanging back portion to further confine the patient between curved side portions. The channel-like thigh supports may be adjusted in angle with respect to each other and the seat portion is cut away to permit access to the perineum.
