Medi-Plinth 3 Section Couch FAQs

What is the Medi-Plinth 3 Section Examination Couch used for?

The Medi-Plinth 3 Section Examination Couch is designed for general examinations, consultations, treatment procedures and clinical assessments. Its three-section platform, electric height adjustment and comfortable upholstery make it suitable for GP practices, hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, outpatient departments and private healthcare settings.

When would a 3 section examination couch be more suitable than a 2 section couch?

The Medi-Plinth 3 Section Examination Couch is better suited to clinics that need greater positioning flexibility. The separate back, middle and leg sections allow improved patient support for examinations, minor procedures, physiotherapy, assessment and treatment where more precise positioning may be required.

What is the difference between the electric and hydraulic versions?

Both share the same platform, height range, upholstery and warranty. The electric version uses a motorised actuator and has a 260kg safe working load; the hydraulic version needs no mains power and has a 225kg safe working load.

260kg on the electric version and 225kg on the hydraulic version. For larger patients, extra-wide upholstery is also available.
