Frequently asked questions
A: Lockable wheels prevent the table from moving during patient transfers, examinations, and procedures, which is a safety requirement in clinical settings. A table that shifts when a patient repositions creates a fall risk. Forme Medical examination couches use lockable castors rated for hospital use.
A: Standard examination couches typically support 200-250kg. For patients over 250kg, you need a purpose-built bariatric model with a wider deck (typically 700mm or more) and a rated SWL exceeding the patient's weight to account for transfer forces. Forme Medical manufactures Australian-made tables with reinforced frames.
A: Trendelenburg positioning tilts the entire table so the patient's head is lower than their feet, typically at 15 to 30 degrees. It is used during vasovagal episodes, certain surgical procedures, and some cardiac assessments. Forme Medical models like the Amethyst and Sapphire include motorised Trendelenburg capability for rapid repositioning in emergencies.
A: Examination couches are designed for patient assessment, diagnostics, and minor procedures, while treatment tables are built for hands-on therapy like physiotherapy or chiropractic manipulation. Forme Medical examination couches feature Trendelenburg capability and hospital-grade construction with a 10-year frame warranty.
A: RACGP accreditation standards require general practices to have appropriate examination facilities, including a table that allows patient positioning for clinical assessments. The Forme Medical range is purpose-built for Australian medical practices, with models designed for cardiology, gynaecology, and general examination. The table must allow safe patient transfer, typically meaning adjustable height and a minimum 200kg SWL.
