Ergonomic Accessories
The HÅG Chair

HÅG Capisco is the perfect ergonomic accessory for Cardiac, Vascular and General Ultrasound sonography. It was inspired by the position of a rider in the saddle, so with this chair you can sit higher than in other chairs. An excellent choice for height adjustable or higher work surfaces.

The HÅG Capisco Chair offers sonographers dynamic ergonomics in that the sonographer can always feel balanced and poised, simply because the movement of the chair constantly adjusts to your body’s shifting center of gravity. The HÅG Capisco Chair is easy to adjust. One lever for seat height, another for seat depth. Back height is adjusted by the push of one button. Tilt tension and backward adjustments are under the seat. Unique seat and back design to support the forward dynamic sitting posture. The back is designed to support sitting in four directions. It’s easy to adjust to your work situation and provides more flexibility.
