Why Do We Need Bariatric Treatment Tables?
With obesity on the rise, bariatric medicine is becoming increasingly important. The difference in patient size and ability requires a new approach to the tools used to treat these patients. It is highly imperative that a variety of bariatric medical equipment is available on the market so that practitioners can efficiently assess and accommodate the needs of their bariatric patients, safely, comfortably, and effectively. With the demand increasing, this type of equipment is becoming more common in medical facilities everywhere. All patients deserve to be able to maintain their dignity when seeing their doctor, and for this to be possible, appropriate medical equipment must be provided to meet their needs.
Treatment tables are an important basic staple for medical facilities of all types, including rehabilitation clinics, sports clinics, massage therapy facilities, chiropractors' offices, family practices, and more. These tables are a crucial place where important clinician-patient interactions occur, so it is important that the patient is provided with a comfortable place to rest while they are examined or treated, and that the clinician is allowed quick and easy access to the patient.
How Does the Adjustable Back Bariatric Treatment Table Help the Patient?
The Adjustable Back Bariatric Treatment Table is a heavy-duty treatment table is designed to support and meet the specific needs of bariatric patients. With a large weight capacity of 1000 pounds, this table is extremely safe and easily supports heavier patients with no risk of falls or damage. The six-legged H-brace construction provides additional support for the table, ensuring the patient's safety and peace of mind. The extra wide surface measures 34 inches across, providing plenty of room to keep patients comfortable and allow a better range of motion. The table is also fairly low to the ground at only 28 inches high, which makes it more easily accessible for the patient, especially for those who may have trouble climbing onto taller tables. The lower height also helps to make the table sturdier.
The adjustable back features six to eight increments of adjustment and can be locked securely into place, allowing patients to rest in the position that is most comfortable for them, whether in a supine position or on their side. This positioning ability also provides easy access for the practitioner. This feature is especially helpful for patients who have limited mobility or issues with back or neck pain and discomfort with lying flat. Patients can also get comfortable on the table in a sitting position, and then be lowered into a flat, supine position as they rest.
The table features a two inch thick upholstered top to provide cushion, making the table more comfortable. The upholstery is available in a wide variety of colors, so it can easily be matched to any medical facility's decor. Two wood finish options are available as well - a lighter, creamy natural finish and a darker, rich walnut finish.
What Options are Available for the Adjustable Back Bariatric Treatment Table?
The Adjustable Back Bariatric Treatment Table is offered in two models - the standard 4515 without a shelf, and model 4516 with a built-in shelf included under the table surface.

Whether it is used for massage oils, hot stones, or towels for massage clinics, medications, bandages, and tools for medical practices, or paper towels for better hygiene, this handy storage space is an excellent addition to the treatment table. The open shelf can easily be organized using smaller containers, and it can be used to hold documents or a radio for music.
