Frequently Asked Questions

What is a bariatric chair?

Bariatric medical chairs, also known as extra-wide or heavy-duty chairs, are specialised treatment chairs designed to accommodate heavier individuals with higher weight capacities, commonly referred to as bariatric patients. At ABCO Health Care, our bariatric chairs are meticulously constructed and engineered to comfortably lift heavier patients. They are crafted using high quality materials, including heavy-duty upholstery with 50mm comfort foam for firm support, a robust steel plate and tube frame, and twin column lifting mechanisms for added safety.

ABCO Health Care's bariatric chairs feature various functions, such as height adjustment, seat tilt, and leg rests, all aimed at providing optimal support and comfort to patients during medical examinations or treatments. Our chairs are equipped with foot or hand controls, ensuring easy adjustment to achieve the desired position for the treatment process.

What benefits are there for using bariatric chairs?

Bariatric chairs are predominantly useful for practices or medical offices where bariatric patients may be treated. There are a number of benefits to using these specialised chairs

  • Enhance support. Bariatric chairs are specifically designed to provide robust support for heavier individuals. They feature reinforced frames, sturdy materials, wider seat widths, and higher weight loads to ensure optimal stability and comfort.Bariatric Chairs ABCO Health Care
  • Improved safety. Safety of the chair is a top priority for bariatric patients due to the additional weight that needs to be managed. ABCO Health Care bariatric chairs offer a range of features which help to increase safety for both patient and practitioner, such as the twin column lifting mechanism which reduces “pinch points”, eliminates lengthwise movement during height adjustment, and provides a more rigid work surface without the “end bounce”. This helps reduce the risk of accidents, falls, and chair instability, providing a secure and stable seating solution.
  • Increased comfort. The ergonomic design of ABCO Health Care’s bariatric chairs provides a more comfortable experience for both the patient and the practitioner. A 50mm comfort foam on plywood base ensures firm support for the patient, whilst seat tilting features, height adjustment with foot or hand control, and extending leg rests increase the comfort for both the patient and the practitioner.
  • Inclusivity. Treatment chairs which are specifically constructed for bariatric patients are designed to cater for the individual’s needs, which typically means higher weight capacity, larger seating area and electrical adjustment
  • capabilities to reduce movement for patients who may have limited movement ability.
  • Durability. The construction of ABCO Health Care bariatric chairs using heavy duty materials and reinforced frames ensure long-lasting durability and reliability. This durability allows the chairs to withstand higher weight capacities and frequent use without compromising on safety or comfort.

What weight limit can bariatric chairs hold?

ABCO Health Care’s bariatric treatment and podiatry chairs come with a high weight capacity of 300KG. While this may not always be required, the high weight capacity does ensure that medical practices can cater to the needs of most patients.
