What upholstery options are available?
Durable Naugasoft upholstery comes standard on the FDC38, offering reliable performance for daily clinical use. For practices that prefer a softer feel and additional premium color choices, Ultraleather upholstery is available as an optional upgrade.
How does the FDC38 differ from the FDC50?
Both chairs share the same all-metal hydraulic platform, 4 memory positions, 17inch–30inch height range, 50-degree swivel, and articulating headrest. The FDC38 is the practical, value-focused choice with standard synchronized recline, Naugasoft upholstery, and lever-lock armrests. The FDC50 adds soft-start/stop movement, Spline Motion recline, an extra-thin back casting for leg clearance, button-lock armrests, and premium Ultraleather as standard. Choose FDC38 if you want reliable performance at a more accessible price point.
Does the FDC38 have programmable memory positions?
Yes. The FDC38 includes four programmable memory positions, allowing you to save and recall commonly used chair settings for patient entry, examination, treatment, and dismissal – reducing repetitive manual adjustments throughout the day.
Is the FDC38 compatible with my existing delivery system and lighting?
Yes. The FDC38 is designed to work with compatible chair-mounted delivery equipment and lighting systems. Contact us to verify compatibility with your specific setup and operatory layout.
What is the lowest seat height for patient entry?
The FDC38 lowers to 17 inches – a low entry height that makes patient access and dismissal easier, particularly for elderly patients, those with limited mobility, or when patients need assisted seating.
What safety features does the FDC38 include?
The chair is equipped with a collision-detection safety switch that stops chair movement when an obstruction is encountered. Always confirm the area beneath and around the chair is clear before operating.
Which chair should I choose – FDC38 or FDC50?
Choose the FDC38 if you want a durable, full-hydraulic chair with essential positioning features, all-metal construction, and flexible upholstery options at a practical price point. Choose the FDC50 if you prefer upgraded patient comfort with soft-start/stop movement, Spline Motion recline, and premium Ultraleather upholstery standard – and are willing to invest in those enhancements.
