18" Low Seat Height for Easier Patient Access

Traditional fixed-height midmark exam tables can require patients to climb onto a higher examination surface.

The Ritter 224 lowers to an uncompressed seat height of approximately 18 inches, allowing many patients to sit on the chair more naturally before being raised to examination height.

The lower entry height can be particularly helpful when treating:

• Older adults
• Patients with limited mobility
• Patients who have difficulty stepping onto traditional exam tables
• Patients requiring assistance during transfers
• Bariatric patients
• Patients recovering from injuries or procedures

Reducing the height patients need to negotiate can also reduce reliance on step stools and help simplify patient transfers.

Powered Height Adjustment from 18" to 37"

Once the patient is seated, the Ritter 224's power base raises the examination surface from approximately 18 inches to 37 inches.

This wide positioning range allows the provider to bring the patient closer to an appropriate working height rather than repeatedly bending or adjusting their own position around a fixed-height exam table.

The chair is controlled using a wired foot control, allowing the provider to adjust table height while keeping their hands available for patient care.

500 lb Patient Weight Capacity

The Ritter 224 has a 500 lb patient weight capacity, helping practices accommodate a broad range of patients with one examination chair.

The combination of its low entry height, powered lift and 500 lb capacity makes the 224 a versatile option for practices looking to improve accessibility without sacrificing clinical functionality.

Gas-Spring-Assisted Manual Backrest

The Ritter 224 features a gas-spring-assisted adjustable backrest with accessible release handles.

This allows the provider to manually reposition the back section and lock it into the desired position.

If your practice requires a powered backrest in addition to powered height adjustment, consider the Midmark Ritter 225 Barrier-Free Exam Chair.

Ritter 224-001 vs. 224-002 vs. 224-003

Midmark offers the Ritter 224 in several configurations, allowing practices to choose the features appropriate for their workflow.

Ritter 224-001

The 224-001 is an excellent choice for practices primarily looking for the core benefits of the Ritter 224: low-height patient access, powered height adjustment and a 500 lb capacity.

Mohawk Medical Mall currently has two 224-001 bases in stock.

Ritter 224-002

Choose the 224-002 when your practice would benefit from additional convenience features including electrical receptacles, drawer heater, pelvic tilt and Active Sensing Technology.

Ritter 224-003

The 224-003 adds the Clean Assist Roller System to the enhanced features available on the 224-002.

Midmark Ritter 224 vs. Ritter 225

The Ritter 224 and Ritter 225 share many of the same Barrier-Free design characteristics, but there is one particularly important difference.

Choose the Ritter 224 if:

• You want powered height adjustment
• An 18" low entry height is important
• A manual gas-spring-assisted back meets your needs
• You want to keep equipment cost below a comparable power-back chair

Consider the Ritter 225 if:

• You want both power height and power back positioning
• Your procedures require frequent backrest adjustments
• Powered patient positioning is a priority

For many general medical practices, the Ritter 224 provides the major accessibility benefits of a Barrier-Free chair without requiring a powered backrest.

Who Is the Ritter 224 Designed For?

The Midmark Ritter 224 can be an excellent fit for:

• Primary care practices
• Family medicine
• Internal medicine
• OB/GYN practices
• Specialty clinics
• Multi-provider practices
• Outpatient healthcare facilities
• Practices replacing traditional fixed-height exam tables

It is particularly useful for practices looking to combine low-height patient access with powered provider positioning.

Ritter 224 vs. a Traditional Fixed-Height Exam Table

A traditional exam table can be an excellent solution when simplicity and storage are the primary considerations.

The Ritter 224 addresses a different need.

Instead of requiring the patient to climb onto a fixed-height examination surface, the 224 lowers to approximately 18 inches for patient access and then raises electrically for the provider.

This makes the Ritter 224 worth considering when:

• Patient accessibility is a priority
• Your practice sees patients with varying mobility levels
• Providers want adjustable examination height
• You want to reduce dependence on exam-room step stools
• You need a 500 lb patient capacity

Practices that don't require powered height adjustment may want to compare the Ritter 224 with the Midmark Ritter 204 Manual Exam Table.
