A footstool is a raised platform or step designed to help users adjust their seating height or provide leg support while seated. Clinically, these devices are often used in medical settings to improve ergonomics for patients, caregivers, or staff, reducing strain during procedures or examinations.
Footstools may be regulated as medical devices depending on their intended use, such as conductive models for electrostatic discharge mitigation. They are typically classified based on risk, supplied as single-use or reusable items, and may require compliance with safety and performance standards depending on jurisdiction.
