Tom,

Would you please post this to the pilots group? I’ve tried both the “docs” and “pilots” groups without luck.

Thanks,

Larry

 

Let’s give this “docs” group a try.  Here are a few links for some inexpensive, light-weight options.

This chair has 3 adjustable positions; maxillary, mandibular and dentures; weighs 11 lbs and folds to 8”x 40”.  $29.00

 

Clem, you worked triage using this chair in Oasis.  How was it?

Swivel stool $11.00, 3 lbs

I bought 5 of these units (eBay) for Mexico/Oasis; so far, so good.  Two pounds, $85.00. Does not have vacuum, I use a Gomco aspirator (12 lbs) for suction. 

Comes with 1 HP (5 hole) w/ water, A/W syringe, water bottle, and rheostat foot control.  Without a positive pressure venturi vacuum the unit operates with a very small light-weight compressor.

 

Typical two dentist trip:

Found this source on eBay.  I just ordered two elevators for $6.00 each.  Pakistani imports; but very surprised by the quality. Prices slightly better on eBay, but you can combine shipping buying directly from their website.

 

There you go,

Larry
