Additional information

About The Medi-Plinth 2 Section Examination Couch

The Medi-Plinth 2 Section Examination Couch is a robust, comfortable and practical doctor's examination couch for GP surgeries, hospitals, outpatient departments and private clinics. Manufactured in the UK, it provides a reliable platform for examinations, consultations and minor procedures, and is available as a hydraulic couch or with electric height adjustment. The adjustable height supports easier patient access, improved ergonomics and comfortable working positions for clinicians.

Built for demanding clinical use, the couch features a strong safe working load and a gas spring-assisted back section for smooth patient positioning. Its classic two-section design, with an adjustable backrest and a full-length leg section, suits routine examinations, while the extra-low entry height supports wheelchair transfers and patients with reduced mobility. For more positioning flexibility, the Medi-Plinth 3 Section Examination Couch adds a separately adjustable leg section, and our full examination couch range includes drop-end and fixed-height models.

Couch Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Hydraulic or Electric: Which Version Is Right For You?
Both versions share the same two-section platform, 46–91cm height range, upholstery and warranty. The difference is how you adjust the height.
Hydraulic: height adjustment without a mains power connection, with a safe working load of 225kg. A practical choice for consulting rooms without a convenient socket, or where the height is changed less often.
Electric: motorised height adjustment using Linak actuators, with a safe working load of 260kg. Needs a mains power supply nearby. Suits busy or shared rooms where the height changes often, and a foot switch is available as an optional accessory. If you are unsure which suits your room, our team can help. Request a quotation with details of how the couch will be used.

What is the Medi-Plinth 2 Section Examination Couch used for?
It is designed for general examinations, consultations, treatment procedures and clinical assessments. Its classic two-section platform, hydraulic or electric height adjustment and comfortable upholstery make it suitable for GP practices, hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, outpatient departments and private healthcare settings.

Should I choose a 2 section or 3 section examination couch?
A 2 section couch, with an adjustable backrest and a full-length leg section, suits routine examinations, consultations, assessments and general treatment use. If you need to position the patient's legs separately, for example for minor procedures or physiotherapy, the Medi-Plinth 3 Section Examination Couch offers a separately adjustable leg section.
