There is such a
variety of equipment available that is made for your
type of Facility. You must have a Wheelchair,
how about a Gurney to move the patient from one area
to another.
If you do not have the
Hospital Bed that expands from 39" to 48" than you
need the Gurney. If you do have the proper bed you
need doors with an opening of
43" for the bed to
travel through the door when using the bed to
transport from area to area.
Have you thought about the
toilet needs? Will the toilet seat in the bathroom
handle that kind of weight? There are toilet seats,
commodes, shower chair and commode combinations that
handle weight up to 1000 lbs. The heavier the
weight capacity the larger the equipment
Where will your
patient sit when you are able to get them out of
bed? You really have to convert several of your
rooms with updated Bariatric Equipment to be able to
handle that special patient.
Certified from 750 lbs. to 1000 lbs
Sometimes it
seems that the weight problem runs in families.
A smart choice would be as a sitting chair to
choose one of the above and the patient will
need a recliner that will hold the weight.
Getting Started
The best way to start is to make a list of the basic
things that you really need to handle the Bariatric
Patient and then contact me and I can help you
through the process. I am here to work with
you as this is my specialty. I am also very
well informed on general equipment that is needed on
a day to day basis that is not Bariatric. We all
have a budget to consider but it has been my
experience
that you need
to go the extra mile and get the right equipment
so that you are not replacing it in a year.
I look forward to working with your facility.
