To remain healthy, it is extremely important to maintain a correct

XO SEAT and XO STOOL are available in two sizes: 1) for operators below 180 cm of height and 2) for
operators who are taller.
If the XO SEAT/XO STOOL is too low or too high, it is possible to replace the gas spring with a shorter
or longer version.
If the height difference between the operator and the chairside assistant is more than 10 cm, a foot-
ring may be fitted.
