A gynecology exam table has to do three jobs at once: put the patient in a supported examination position, keep the clinician’s hands free, and clean up between appointments without a specialist technician. Our electric gynecological examination tables and chairs are built for clinics, women’s health practices and hospital outpatient departments, with split-leg designs, adjustable leg supports and independent section controls. Every unit runs on electric adjustment, carries a 300 kg weight capacity, and ships on 110V-240V dual voltage with CE certification.

The range covers examination couches, split-leg gynaecology chairs, examination and delivery beds, and postpartum beds, so a practice can specify for a single consulting room or equip a whole department. Below is how the models differ, and what to confirm before ordering.

Gynecology Exam Tables and Chairs: What the Range Covers

• Split-leg examination chairs — the standard gynaecology chair format. Independent leg supports allow proper lithotomy positioning for pelvic examination, smear taking and minor procedures, with each side adjusted separately.
• Electric examination tables and couches — flat or articulated surfaces with electric height and backrest adjustment, used for general examination, dressing and minor outpatient work.
• Obstetric and delivery beds — heavier frames with leg supports and adjustable sections for labour, delivery and postpartum care in a maternity room.
• Postpartum and recovery beds — moulded or padded surfaces with easy-clean upholstery for recovery areas, positioned for staff access from both sides.

All of them share the same underlying frame approach: electric motor adjustment for height and sections, a stable base, and medical-grade upholstery that tolerates disinfectant between patients. The differences are in the leg section design, the frame rating and the accessories.

Split-Leg Design, Stirrups and Patient Positioning

The leg section is what separates a gynaecological examination chair from a general examination couch. Split-leg models raise and separate each leg support independently, so the clinician can position for an examination without moving the patient, and lower both supports afterwards for a seated discussion. Adjustable stirrups and padded footrests are the usual configuration; check that the stirrups are removable, because some procedures and most patient-comfort conversations are easier with them off.

Positioning also depends on the table height range. A gyn table that rises to a comfortable working height saves the clinician from bending through a full clinic list, while a low minimum height lets a patient sit down first and lie back on the table rather than climbing onto it.

Electric vs Manual Examination Tables

Manual tables are cheaper to buy and slower to live with. In a clinic that runs a full appointment list, electric adjustment removes the repeated cranking motion, keeps the patient supported while the position changes, and lets one clinician work without an assistant. Our electric tables use multi-motor adjustment, with foot pedal control available so the clinician’s hands stay free during the examination.

For practices that only use the room occasionally, a manual examination surface may be sufficient. For any clinic running daily clinics or handling patients with limited mobility, the electric version pays back in appointment time and in staff comfort.

Customization, Voltage and Certification

Because the units are built to order, the specification is set before production rather than retrofitted later:

• Custom upholstery colours and frame finishes
• Custom dimensions where a room has an unusual footprint
• Logo placement for clinics and distributors
• Motor configuration and accessory selection, including side rails and paper roll holders
• CE certification as standard, with custom UL motors available on request

All units run on 110V-240V dual voltage, so the same model works across markets without rewiring. Mounting, drainage and room layout are the buyer’s side of the project — send the room plan and the services you run and the factory will confirm the model that fits.

Naming: Gynecology Exam Table, Gynecologist Table or Gyn Chair?

Women’s health equipment is bought and searched under a dozen names. A purchasing officer writes gynecology exam table, a practice manager asks for a gynecologist table or a gynecologist exam table, a clinician says gyn examination table, and in day-to-day conversation it becomes a gyn chair or gyno chair. Purchasing paperwork adds its own variants, listing the same unit as a gynecology chair or a gynecologist chair depending on the department doing the buying. They all describe the same product family: an examination surface with a split or articulated leg section, electric height adjustment and removable stirrups.

Two distinctions are worth keeping straight. First, a gynecological chair is built around sitting and positioning, while a gynecological table or gynecology table is a broader surface used for examination and treatment; some models convert between the two by folding the leg section flat. Second, terminology varies between markets — gynaecology, gyno table and ob gyn table all refer to this range, and suppliers who quote on the name rather than the specification often quote the wrong model.

If you are specifying for a single consulting room, the practical approach is to confirm three things — the leg-section type, the height range and whether the stirrups need to be removable — and then match them to the model. The name on the quotation matters far less than those three lines.

Ordering, Shipping and Warranty

Nova manufactures direct, which means MOQ is 1 unit for standard items, production runs to a 10–15 day window, and DDP door-to-door shipping to the US includes freight, customs clearance and duties in the quoted price. Function-testing videos and photos are provided before shipment so the unit can be checked against the specification while it is still at the factory. Every table carries a one-year warranty on motors and the electrical system, with replacement parts and installation guidance for covered faults.

Related Equipment

Women’s health rooms usually need more than one surface, so it is worth planning the furniture set together: medical exam beds and examination chairs for general clinical work, treatment tables for examination and minor procedures, and podiatry and examination chairs where a split-leg seat is needed for foot care. Three models frequently specified for gynaecology rooms are the electric gynecological examination table, the 3-motor premium gynecological bed and the obstetrics delivery bed with gynecological chair positioning.

Gynecology Exam Tables: FAQ

What is the difference between a gynecology exam table and a general examination table?

A gynecology exam table is specified around the leg section: split-leg supports with adjustable stirrups for lithotomy positioning. A general examination table is a flat or articulated surface used for assessment, dressing and minor procedures, without the leg-section articulation a pelvic examination needs.

Do your gynecological examination chairs include stirrups?

Yes — split-leg models come with adjustable stirrups and padded footrests, and the stirrups are removable so the chair can be used as a standard examination seat. Confirm the configuration you need when ordering, since leg-section design varies between models.

Can the same table be used for delivery and postpartum care?

Not the same unit. Examination chairs are built for examination and minor procedures, while obstetric and delivery beds use a heavier frame with the section articulation and leg supports that labour and delivery require. If a room has to cover both, specify two units rather than compromising one.

What weight capacity do these tables have?

The frames are rated at 300 kg, which covers bariatric patients without a separate model. Table width and leg-section layout are the other variables worth confirming for heavier patients, and both can be specified at the factory.

What about voltage, warranty and delivery?

110V-240V dual voltage, CE certified, one-year warranty on motors and the electrical system, MOQ 1 unit, a 10–15 day production window and DDP door-to-door shipping to the US. Send your room layout and the procedures you run, and we will quote the configuration that fits.
