Bariatric equipment refers to equipment specially designed to help patients that are overweight and obese and cannot be accommodated with standard medical equipment. There is a whole branch of medicine known as bariatrics that deals with the causes, prevention and treatment of obesity and weight disorders. Bariatric equipment and in particular bariatric chairs are commonly used in medical settings such as dentist surgeries where obese patients may come for treatment.
A bariatric chair is for heavy patients that cannot walk or be accommodated in a normal dental chair or in a wheelchair because of their size and weight. The chair is used to carry patients from ambulances, to treatments rooms and into recovery bays. A bariatric chair has a super wide seating area and can accommodate weights of up to 770lbs. The good thing about bariatric equipment and in particular a bariatric chair is that it is portable, can be stored in small areas, has full soft tissue support, adjustable back rests, removable pads for cleaning, a seat width of 800mm and can easily be moved from room to room with ease.
