Medical equipment for private practice

Private medical practices

Private medical offices are healthcare facilities that provide light care services that do not require the patient to be hospitalized. A private practice usually has one or more consulting rooms, where medical examinations and treatments are performed, and a waiting room, where patients are greeted.

Medical examinations and treatments performed in private medical offices include, but are not limited to, immunizations, annual check-ups, blood tests, gynecological examinations, diagnostic tests, and care for minor emergencies. Many healthcare professionals provide their services in private medical offices: family physicians, dentists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, chiropractors, nutritionists, etc.

To prevent the risk of these health professionals to suffer from musculoskeletal disorders that can lead to work stoppages, it is recommended that they be provided with ergonomic medical equipment. It should be easily adjustable for the patient to be examined and the task to be performed.

This equipment also includes non medical height-adjustable examination tables and reclining treatment chairs.

Why use ergonomic medical equipment in private practices?

During various medical examinations and treatments, health professionals often have to adopt awkward postures or perform repetitive movements. For example, the medical imaging technician must repeatedly stretch the arm and bend the trunk and neck during an ultrasound. Over time, these movements can lead to musculoskeletal disorders or chronic shoulder, back, and wrist pain. Setting up patients or moving equipment are other tasks regularly performed by healthcare professionals that can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, chronic pain, or occupational injuries.

Using ergonomic medical and equipment designed to ensure the comfort of health professionals and optimize their work effectively reduces the risk of occupational injuries and musculoskeletal disorders among medical personnel. Indeed, ergonomic medical equipment has several adjustment options. Medical professionals can adjust their equipment according to the type of examination to always work in an adequate and comfortable posture. In addition, the adjustment mechanisms of ergonomic medical equipment are generally electric. This allows health professionals to adjust their equipment during the examination and position patients properly without exerting excessive physical effort. Several ergonomic medical equipments are recommended for private practices, including ECHO-FLEX examination tables and the non medical Foster reclining treatment chairs.
