The Salli Swing Fit was developed to offer female dental professionals the ability to move during sitting- if you are male we recommend the swing. At the heart of this functionality is a precision engineered active movement spring that has been embedded into the seat mechanism under the seat. Responding to the user's own body weight, the Swingfit from Salli is able to offer a moveable platform that is designed to engage your trunk muscles during sitting so that sitting will never again be a static fidgety experience. The spring not only facilitates seated movement in three directions, but also restrains movement so you always feel in total control during active sitting.
The ability to gently move a small amount all day tends to be most popular with female dental professionals who do not have a history of back pain and who are looking to build core muscle strength. Another key feature of this stool is the adjustable split between the two parts of the saddle. This adjustment is important for females because it enables you to position the two parts of the saddle under the sitting bones and you are able to adapt the shape of the seat to your most natural and comfortable dynamic pelvic position.

Key Questions
How far does the seat move?
Whilst the seat can move in 3 dimensions the actual range of movement is extremely well controlled. The seat top moves less than 5 degrees in each direction. By strictly controlling the range of movement, the stool facilitates active sitting whilst enabling dental professionals to still perform precise dental work.
What is the difference between the Swing and Swing Fit?
Both stools have exactly the same core features and the only difference between them is that the split between the two parts of the saddle is fixed on the swing but not on the swing fit. Indeed, on the swing-fit you can adjust the width and angle between the two sides of the split seat making it more suitable for females, whilst the fixed split is more suitable for men.

Gas Stem
The gas stem height dictates the height of the seat and so it is crucial you take the time to ensure that it will suit your height. There are four gas stem options which should be selected based on your height. The short gas spring is suitable for users under 160 cm, medium for users between 155–180 cm and long spring for users that are over 170 cm. There is also Mini gas spring is for individuals who have extra low gas stem height requirements – please contact us for more information on the mini gas stem as it is not a standard product. It is worth noting that the spring mechanism on the Salli Swing and Swing Fit adds 5cm in height to the seat height, which means that the short gas spring is suitable for users under 165 cm, medium for users between 160–185 cm and long spring for users that are over 175 cm.
Upholstery
There is a range of fabric options available. For dental use the two most popular options are the leather and artificial leather fabrics. For normal dental practices, we recommend the breathable and durable genuine leather, and for laboratories the disinfectable artificial leather.

Castors
As a standard the stools come with castors suitable for hard floors. However, we can supply other castors including castors for carpets, lockable castors and loaded castors. If you are not sure what castors you need please contact us
Additional Accessories
Footring
The footring is designed to be fastened at the bottom of the gas stem and is designed to provide a firm support surface for the feet when sitting in a higher position.
Foot Aduster:
Occasionally dental professionals need to keep hands free for procedure they are working on and do not want to then have to adjust the seat height. In these situations some dentists prefer to use a foot adjuster to control the height of the stool. The foot adjuster is positioned just above the stool base and allows effortless height adjustment with the press of the foot.
