Bariatric Exam Table

A bariatric exam table is a specialized medical examination table designed to safely accommodate and support patients with higher body weights, typically up to 800 pounds (approximately 363 kilograms). These tables are constructed with heavy-duty materials to ensure stability and durability. They often feature a low minimum height, around 19 inches (48.3 centimeters), to facilitate easy access for patients with mobility challenges, including wheelchair users. Additionally, many bariatric exam tables come equipped with power-adjustable height and backrest functions, allowing healthcare providers to position patients comfortably and efficiently during examinations or procedures. For instance, the UMF Medical 5005 Bariatric Treatment Table offers an 800-pound weight capacity, a low 19-inch seat height, and a fully articulating power back section, enhancing both patient comfort and clinical versatility.
