How To Choose Used Exam Tables

By Jocelyn Davidson


Starting a health facility can be very hectic and expensive with much equipment needed for the smooth running of the facility to be bought. To cut costs, many have decided to take the route of using used exam tables which are cheaper than new ones. There are many choices you can buy from as there are many businesses dealing with them but you have to be careful to buy the right table which will serve you better.

In choosing an examination table which is used you have to put into consideration the comfort of your client. The patients who will be coming to your clinic are your clients and any client wants to find comfort in the place they are being examined in. Choose a table that the patient can lay on for hours without getting pain due to discomfort.

You wouldn't want to be examined on a shaky and squeaking table, would you? The same way that you would avoid that is the same with the patients. You have to make sure that you choose a table that is very strong and firm so that your patients will feel safe to lie on the table during the examination period.

The material that is used in making the table will determine how stains can be easily or hard to be cleaned. Do choose a material that will not give you a lot of trouble when you are cleaning stains which are unavoidable during operations. Vinyl material for example will make a very good material which can be very easily cleaned.

An examination can't go on without the necessary tools to do it. The tools need to be nearby and stored in an organized manner. Because of limited room space it may not be possible to have a tool storage unit within the same room with the table so buying a table with draws for storing the tools can save you a lot of space.

Patients will prefer a well maintained and organized area for their checkup or treatment. For this reason you should keep your room tide and matching. Choose a table that has the same color with your walls and floor for uniformity within the room. Make sure they are not dark colors or active colors which can make the patient feel uncomfortable.

Not all the patients you will handle will have the same condition. A table which will be best for examination of a given body organ may not be good for examination of another organ. If your clinic will be specializing on a specific organ of the body then choose the table that is made specifically for that use.

The last and the main thing to consider is the price of the used examination tables. You should only buy what is within your budget and not anything that you can't afford. Know what is too much and avoid it. You should not break your bank to get the very best tables in the market when you can get a good one at a relatively cheaper price.
