To accommodate higher weight capacity, healthcare facilities must invest in specialized equipment. This includes:
Bariatric Hospital Beds – These beds are designed to support higher weight limits and provide additional space for patient comfort and movement. Heavy-Duty Wheelchairs – These wheelchairs are built to support higher weights and are often wider and reinforced. Lift Systems and Hoists – Mechanical lift systems are essential to safely transfer patients with higher body weights, reducing the risk of injury to both patients and staff. Reinforced Commodes and Toilets – These are necessary for patient hygiene and comfort. Specialized Mattresses – These mattresses are designed to distribute weight more evenly and prevent pressure sores.
