Stirrups and leg supports are not sold on their own — they are a factory option that extends what one of our beds can do. Adding them turns a treatment surface into an examination and treatment position: the patient’s legs are supported for gynaecological, obstetric and foot-care work, the clinician’s hands stay free, and the supports lift out again when the bed is needed for general treatment. That is why the option is most often specified on a beauty or treatment bed that has to cover more than one kind of appointment, and it is confirmed when the bed is ordered rather than added afterwards.

The options here cover the examination chairs and beds that take stirrups: gynaecology and obstetric beds, examination chairs and couches, podiatry and foot-care chairs, and selected med spa and beauty beds whose frames accept a leg-support mount. If you are equipping a room around stirrup positioning, the right order is to pick the bed or chair first and confirm the leg-support configuration with it.

What Stirrups Are Used For

• Gynaecological and obstetric examination — lithotomy positioning for pelvic examination, smear taking and minor procedures, with each leg support adjusted independently.
• Postpartum and recovery care — supported leg positioning for checks and treatment while the patient remains comfortable, and removable supports so the bed can be used for general care afterwards.
• Podiatry and foot care — padded stirrups hold the foot in a stable working position for treatment, which is why podiatry chairs are usually specified with them.
• Procedural and treatment rooms — examination chairs with stirrups are used where a seated or half-reclined position with supported legs is more practical than a flat table.

Which Units Take Stirrups

Leg supports are specified with the frame, so they are ordered at the same time as the unit:

• Gynaecology exam tables and chairs — split-leg designs with independently adjustable leg supports, used for examination and procedural work.
• Medical exam beds and examination chairs — examination couches and obstetric or delivery beds, where stirrup positioning is part of the clinical protocol.
• Podiatry and foot-care chairs — padded, adjustable stirrups with a footrest, positioned for treatment work rather than examination.
• Treatment and beauty beds — on selected frames the leg-support mount can be specified at the factory, so a single adjustable bed covers both treatment and examination use.

If your bed was not ordered with stirrups and you need them now, send the model and a photo of the frame and we will confirm whether the leg-support mount can be added to that build.

What to Specify

• Adjustable or fixed. Adjustable supports let the position be set per patient; fixed supports are simpler and suit a single routine.
• Removable. Supports that lift out let the same chair be used as a standard examination seat, which matters in a room that runs more than one type of appointment.
• Padding and surface. Look for padded supports with a sealed, easy-clean surface — this is the part that contacts the patient directly.
• Frame compatibility. The mount is part of the frame design, not a universal fitting, so the frame and the support are specified together.

All units in this range are CE certified and, where electrically adjustable, run on 110V-240V dual voltage. Custom UL motors are available on request. Because the factory builds to order, colours, dimensions and leg-support configuration are confirmed before production.

Ordering, Shipping and Warranty

Nova manufactures direct, so 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. Every unit ships with a one-year warranty on motors and the electrical system, with replacement parts and installation guidance for covered faults, and function-testing videos and photos are sent before shipment.

What They Are Called

Buyers describe this part in several ways, and the wording tends to change which catalogue page they land on. Clinical purchasing usually writes gynecological stirrups; a hospital or OB department tender calls them obgyn stirrups; day-to-day conversation shortens everything to gyno stirrups or gyn stirrups, and when the whole seat is meant rather than the supports, the request arrives as a stirrup chair. Exam table stirrups and stirrup table describe the same supports seen as part of an examination surface, and gynecology table stirrups is the wording used when the buyer is specifying a table rather than a chair.

Whatever the order says, three details decide the product: adjustable or fixed height, removable or fixed mounting, and the frame the supports attach to. Those three lines are what we confirm before production.

Adding Stirrups to a Beauty Bed

The most common way the option is used is on a beauty or treatment bed. A bed ordered for facials, waxing, lashes and massage can be specified with a leg-support mount, so the same frame also covers gynaecological and obstetric examination, foot care or procedural work. The bed itself does not change — same motors, same frame, same upholstery — what changes is that the leg section is built to accept supported stirrups, which lift out when they are not in use.

That is worth planning at the point of order, because the mount is part of the frame design rather than a universal fitting. Two configurations are usual:

• Beauty bed with removable stirrups — the bed works as a standard treatment bed for most of the day and converts for examination when needed.
• Split-leg treatment bed — independent leg sections with adjustable supports, for rooms where examination and foot-care work is the main use rather than an occasional one.

If you already own a Nova bed and want to know whether the leg-support mount can be added to that build, send the model and a photo of the frame and we will confirm it against the frame design. Models that ship with padded supports fitted, or can be ordered with them, are listed in treatment and beauty beds, gynaecology exam tables and chairs and podiatry and foot-care chairs.

Stirrups and Leg Supports: FAQ

Are stirrups a separate product, or part of the bed?

They are part of the bed. The leg-support mount is built into the frame when the bed is ordered, so there is no separate accessory to buy — you specify the option and the bed arrives ready for it. Split-leg gynaecology and examination chairs are built with it as standard, and on beauty and treatment beds it is a factory option.

Are the stirrups removable?

Yes — the supports lift out on our split-leg models, which lets the chair be used as a standard examination seat between appointments. Adjustable versions can also be repositioned per patient instead of being fixed in one setting.

Can stirrups be fitted to a bed I already own?

It depends on the frame, because the mount is part of the frame design rather than a universal fitting. Send the model and a photo of the frame and we will confirm whether that build can take a leg-support mount.

What is the warranty and delivery time?

One-year warranty on motors and the electrical system, MOQ 1 unit, 110V-240V dual voltage on electrically adjustable units, and a 10–15 day production window with DDP door-to-door shipping to the US.
