A pivoting examination chair mechanism for an examination chair related to a substantially immovable examination tool, which includes a rotation mechanism portion rotating about a first vertical axis, a rotation arm integral with, and extending from, the rotation mechanism portion, and a chair support portion attached proximate a distal end of the rotation arm and offset from the rotating base portion including a chair gimbal, in which the chair gimbal rotates around a second vertical axis and the first and second vertical axes are substantially parallel to one another, so that moving the rotation arm through 180, the examination chair is moved about the first vertical axis to provide a clear access area to the substantially immovable examination tool.

A positioning device includes a planar sheet having first and second side edges and a top surface. A patient is positioned on the top surface where the first and second side edges are adjacent to the patient's legs. A first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate are coupled to the respective first and second side edge of the sheet and are capable of wrapping around an adjacent leg of the patient creating a wrapped engagement. This wrapped engagement of the patient's legs prevents heat loss during pre-surgery, surgery, post-surgery or transport of the patient. Handles coupled to the sheet may be utilized for lifting or moving the sheet when the patient is supported by the sheet.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a dental treatment machine for children. The dental treatment machine may include a base, a cushion and a backrest, where the vertical distance between the base and the cushion, the angle between respective planes of the cushion and the backrest, as well as the horizontal distance between the cushion and the backrest are selectively adjustable according to a child's figure. Preferably, the vertical distance adjustment between the cushion and the base is about 350-730 mm, the angle adjustment between the backrest and the cushion is about 068, and the distance adjustment between the backrest and the cushion is about 050 mm.

An integrated medical equipment for supporting medical equipment and a patient during a medical procedure. The integrated medical equipment includes a base, an adjustable chair operatively connected to the base, and an equipment support operatively connected to the base and spaced from the adjustable chair by a predetermined distance. The equipment support includes a column at the base and a tower extending generally vertically from the column. A medical device arm is operatively connected to the tower, wherein the medical device arm is motor driven to move along the generally vertical tower. A platform support arm is operatively connected to the column, wherein the platform support arm is motor driven to move generally vertically along the column.

A dental unit includes a support and a display unit with a touch screen. The display unit is connected to the support in such a manner that the display unit is rotatable between a first and a second orientation. The first orientation is suitable for enabling a dental care professional to view content displayed on the touch screen during work on a patient situated in a chair of the dental unit, and thus for displaying content on the touch screen. The second orientation is suitable for enabling a dental care professional to input information by touching the touch screen, and thus for receiving input by means of the touch screen. The support is adapted to support the display unit in the second orientation.
