Examination Couch, Black

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an examination couch?

An examination couch is a lounge or chair that allows patients to sit or lie down comfortably while being examined or treated by medical professionals. They are commonly found in medical practices, doctor’s surgeries and in first aid rooms.

What are the different types of examination couches?

Examination couches come in three different models. The first is the standard examination couch (like the one above). They feature a sturdy steel construction, adjustable headrests and two separate sections that can be adjusted to suit the height of the patient being examined.

The second type of examination table is the hi-low examination couch. These are used to treat elderly patients and immobile patients because they are typically closer to the ground. They feature foot pedal controls to elevate the patient to a suitable height, as well as sideboards to prevent the patient from slipping out.

The third type of examination couch is the combination couch. They have a mix of features that allow it to be used as an examination couch or a treatment table, and are commonly found in emergency rooms.

What are the features of a good examination couch?

Good examination couches usually use good quality materials (like high-grade steel), are durable enough to last in busy medical practices, and come with safety certifications that guarantee a high-quality product.

What should I consider before buying an examination couch?

Before purchasing an examination couch, it is important that you consider the quality of the material it’s made from (is it made from high-grade steel and vinyl?), the features that it comes with (for example, does it come with electrically-operated adjustable features?), and whether it has been tested to any safety certifications.

Taking these factors into consideration will make sure that you get the right examination couch for you.

What is the right examination couch for me?

The right examination couch for you and your business will depend on three things. Firstly, what type of patients will you be seeing? If you’re seeing a majority of elderly and immobile patients, a hi-low examination table could be best. Secondly, it’s important to consider where you will be using the examination couch. If you’re only using it in a first aid room or a doctor’s practice, you might find that a standard examination couch would be best.

Again, the type of examination couch you require will depend on your individual needs. Call our customer service team on 1800 492 531 if you require further assistance or have any other questions.
