Thank you for choosing the Rini Operator Chair.
The chair comes in two models and offers excellent comfort with its
ergonomic design, enabling high efficiency in daily patient work for
surgeons and medical professionals.
The chair is battery operated and easy to raise and lower either by
controls on the main chassis using the heels or with buttons on top of the
front wheels for foot operation.
The model R6 is supplied with Rini's patented safety armrest "Rilis" that
can be adjusted with high precision to the desired position. The model
R7 is equipped with "OneGrip" armrest, popular when small precise
adjustments are required.
The operator chairs are specially designed for micro surgery and
developed in cooperation with operators and surgeons in Sweden and
internationally.
Rini is constantly improving existing products and developing new ones.
Consequently, we value the professional user’s point of view; so don’t

the armrest should be without load.
Setting 5
The armrest plate is curved and loosen the black locking wheel to
position the armrest. Tighten when the correct position is found. The
armrest can also rotate around the black locking wheel, allowing
maximum flexibility and ergonomic relief. It also helps the operator to be
seated or get up from the chair and still be able to maintain sterile hands
by using the elbows to rotate the armrests.
The Rilis armrest should not be loaded with more than 15 kg.
