Bariatric Equipment
Medical equipment for individuals
with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30. (Body
Mass Index).
Bariatric products are designed
to have a weight capacity of 300 pounds (or more) for those
who need that extra support. Bariatric chairs maximize the
patient's ability to sit and stand with reduced effort, and
lessens the chance of lifting injury to the caregiver.
Bariatric beds have extra bracing
integrated into the home care bed frame, along with a wider
surface and truss assembly, in order to provide maximum support.
