Electric Actuators for Bariatric Equipment

News and Articles

A change in lifestyles

Sedentary working conditions, urbanization, and the food industry have considerably changed our lifestyles and led to new diseases such as obesity and other related disorders. This has tripled since 1975 and now represents more than 650 million people with an expected acceleration in the coming years.

 

Obesity causes many deaths each year and can cause disabling disorders such as musculoskeletal pain and loss of mobility. Individuals that are overweight get sick more often and represent a significant proportion of the hospitalized population. Obesity represents real physical suffering for those affected and raises major challenges for the medical industry.

 

Rethink equipment to preserve individuals’ comfort and safety

It is becoming essential to rethink larger, stronger, and more reliable medical equipment in order to support heavy patients’ weight and preserve their safety. This also allows the nursing staff to provide an optimal quality of care, avoiding musculoskeletal disorders related to handling or assisting patients onto equipment.

 

In a society where the difference is often pointed out, preserving obese individuals’ dignity must be a priority. They deserve the same quality of care as any other person and must be able to be cared for easily and with respect. Inappropriate equipment can put the patient in an uncomfortable situation and have a real psychological impact. In a medical environment that can be stressful and worrying, the patient must be able to feel confident and safe.

 

The proportion of overweight individuals is increasing in many countries around the world. Therefore, it is becoming important to provide a maximum level of comfort in their daily lives through the use of adapted ergonomic equipment, whether in their health path or at home.

 

Bariatric equipment adapted to obese people’s specific needs

Bariatric equipment concerns three main sectors:

  • Emergency transport equipment: stretcher, wheelchair
  • Medical and hospital equipment: examination/surgery table, medical bed, wheelchair
  • Domestic equipment: home care bed, lift chair, ergonomic sanitary equipment (shower, bathtub) with adjustable seat and/or sliding door, height-adjustable toilet

These devices are specially designed for people with obesity and can be used without causing discomfort. Stronger, they allow carrying people’s weight safely. More mobile, they help people to move more easily, limiting the risk of pain.

Electric actuators make it possible to automate this type of equipment and make them ergonomic and adjustable with simple control, providing all the necessary comfort and safety to users.
