Boyd Industries.

Boyd Industries says William Gray Boyd founded the company in 1957 in St. Petersburg, Florida, first as custom furniture, then as sit-down dental chairs. The about page says Adrian LaTrace acquired the company in 2012 and is CEO. Manufacturing is a vertically integrated plant in Clearwater. The facility page gives the size as 63,000 square feet and says the factory is FDA registered. The about page says almost every component, from sewn upholstery to powder-coated frames and wood cabinets, is made there.

The oral surgery FAQ is the clinical specification. Trendelenburg is independent of the backrest. IV setup and head position are why Boyd says a general dental chair is not the same tool. IEC 60601 is the safety standard named, with FDA 510(k) on delivery units and CSA and CE marks for Canada and Europe. Arms are optional. A mobile instrument table is a separate SKU.

The S2615 is one published chair: 500 pound capacity under normal distribution, 14 inch lift stroke, 260 pound net weight, programmable positions, and a duty cycle of 2 minutes on and 18 minutes off. Do not sit on the back or the toe section. Those limits are on the product page. A 500 pound rating is not an invitation to load the headrest.

Showroom tours are in Clearwater, and the company will refer you to a local user. Freight is FOB Clearwater, so the installed price is not the chair price. Pediatric and orthodontic rooms are separate catalogs from the surgery chair, even though one factory builds them.

Boyd suits an oral surgery or dental implant practice that needs Trendelenburg and an IV-friendly chair, and orthodontic or pediatric offices that want specialty casework. The chair guide compares patient chairs. A surgery chair is a subset with positioning a restorative chair may not have.

The delivery guide matters if you add rear or side delivery. Boyd's pediatric FAQ lists those mounts. They are not included just because you bought a chair.

A general practice that never reclines a patient for an airway emergency does not need this feature set. Buying it for the upholstery alone is an expensive way to get a lounge.

Summit and TPC sell general and ortho chairs. Boyd's FAQ argues that synchronized tilt is not the same as an independent Trendelenburg motor. Ask any other vendor the same question if emergency positioning matters in your suite.

A 500 pound S2615 rating is one model's page. Do not paste it onto every Boyd chair. Read the plate.

In-house upholstery is Boyd's service story. A chair from another factory may have a faster fabric ship time or a slower one. Ask both.

Quote FOB Clearwater and add freight and installation. The FAQ says they are not in the equipment price. Arms, the instrument table, and the IV hanger are configuration choices.

Electrical: the S2615 page lists 115 volt domestic and 230 volt international, with the chair running at 24 volt DC internally. Your electrician needs the plate, not this summary. The duty cycle is intermittent. It is not a chair you cycle all day without pause.

FDA registration and Class I device language are on the facility page. 510(k) is stated for delivery units. Confirm which of your line items carry which clearance. Do not modify the frame. The S2615 warning says modifications need Boyd's authorization.
