Different kinds of disabled changing tables

Disabled changing tables are incredibly versatile. As the name suggests, disabled changing tables can be used to change patients — however, they can also be used to deliver first aid and medical treatments, provide disabled assistance and more. With this in mind, we offer a wide range of different adult changing tables to suit all situations, settings and scenarios.

• The Reval Wall-Mounted Shower Stretcher — If your patient has poor sitting balance, the Reval Shower Stretcher will make bathing safer and more convenient. Attractive, user-friendly and easy to maintain, this shower stretcher can be adjusted to the correct height so that transfers are simpler from other aids like beds, shower seats and wheelchairs.
• The Reval High/Low Change Table — This disabled changing table is wall-mounted and height-adjustable up to 600mm, making it safer for both the patient and the carer. The High/Low Change Table is multifunctional and like the Reval Shower Stretcher, transfers can be easily made from other aids like wheelchairs.
• The Pressalit Nursing Bench SCT 3000 — Ideal for aquatic centres, nursing homes, retirement villages, schools and hospitals, the Pressalit Nursing Bench is perfect for use in wet or dry areas. This disabled changing table is available in both standard and junior sizes to suit the needs of your patients.
• The Montar Fold-Up Change Table — When folded up, this wall-mounted table takes up very little space, leaving the space free and open to other uses. The upholstery is industrial-grade vinyl so spills and splashes aren’t a problem. Plus, the height can be adjusted between a 350mm low and a 950mm height for easy patient transfers.
• The SpaceSaver Change Table — This freestanding table eliminates the need for specialised installation and makes shifting and cleaning easy. It compacts to less than 30cm off the wall when not in use which is ideal where space is already an issue.

How to choose the right changing table for your patient’s needs

Different changing table models will have different advantages and uses based on a) where they will be used and b) the needs of the patient and the carer. For example, medical facilities with lots of space and a high volume of patients would benefit from a larger, non-foldable adult changing table. In a home where space is limited, a foldable, wall-mountable changing table can easily be stowed away to make room.

Patients who have difficulty moving might benefit from height-adjustable changing tables — plus, all caregivers can benefit from an ergonomic changing table as the adjustable nature will eliminate the risk of injuries.
