How To Choose Used Exam Tables

By Jocelyn Davidson


There are many medical equipment doctors will need to start a health facility but some are very expensive. Doctors starting their own clinics but find they are limited by budget they often turn for used exam tables as a cheaper option. There are many firms which have these tables for sale to any willing buyer for as long as they can raise the money but if the buyer does not know how to choose the best one for the purpose he is buying will end up getting a raw deal.

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.

The firmness of the exam table should be considered. If it squeaks when being used it is not a buy a at all. A shaky table also should be avoided for no patient will lie on such kind of a table where each second will be holding his breath not to fall down. Buy a strong table which is not wonky.

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 happen without use of medical tools. There are exam tables which have draws for storing tools. Chances of misplacing these tools are minimized since you don't have to take the tools out of the examination room. Space will also be saved as not independent drawer for tools needs to be kept in the room

No patient will feel calm or at peace during examination when there are many conflicting colors in the room. The table you are buying should be of the same color with the paint on the room walls and also the floor. Let the colors be uniform and cool colors for a better examination environment.

The choice of the table to buy is also dependent on the kind of people you expect to make a large percentage of all patients. Special group people such as those with physical disabilities will make a part of your patients. Buy a table which can be good for disabled people if you are targeting.

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.
