What are Pediatric Treatment Tables?
Pediatric treatment tables are high quality, child-friendly tables that support a child while visiting a doctor for a medical examination. The tables can be colorful and highly versatile, dependent upon the specific needs and requirements of the individual medical facility. They can have storage space or drawers underneath for medical supplies, and come with or without adjustable shelves. The finish may be furniture grade laminate or a sturdy fiberglass that resists scratches. The upholstery can be available in heavyweight, knit-backed, stain resistant vinyl over 2 inches of thick foam padding. Some treatment tables come as a flat top or with an adjustable backrest. The framework can be constructed in steel or PVC free materials with reinforced stress points. New treatment table designs come in heat molded plastic which is easy to clean, highlighting rounded edges for safety. A child can climb on and explore these types of tables securely and comfortably.
The special designs that a pediatric treatment table can be available in are a zoo bus, firefighter, fire truck, dinosaur, polar bear, dolphin, turtle, puppy, pickup or jeep, with photos that are permanent, and particular themes with graphics that will not peel off. The table’s bright colors and smiling faces can help enchant and soothe a child while getting an exam, and can be available with or without door locks.
What are Pediatric Treatment Table Packs?
Pediatric treatment table packs may come with a child care kit that includes a wide variety of supplies and tools. They proffer kid-friendly tools like animal head stethoscopes to use during the examination to help keep the child at ease and match the particular table design. Other items in the kit can include exam table paper and wall decals to give the room a fun atmosphere.
What are Pediatric Scale Treatment Tables?
Pediatric scale treatment tables are a high quality, versatile addition to a medical facility’s exam room. The easy-to-clean furniture-grade laminate or PVC-free material can be available in many different colors to coordinate with other exam room furniture. The incorporated scale should be accurate and dependable, with an easy to read digital display. It should calibrate automatically when it is started up, and can turn itself off when it is not in use. It typically can read in pound/ounce or kilograms, and may be battery or electrically operated. Many formats may be used as a changing table during an exam, with sides for heightened protection.
Scale treatment tables can also come in bright, colorful designs so they will look less clinical, putting a child at ease. They may have two door storage areas underneath, and/or drawers. The designs that scale treatment tables may come in are a zoo bus, Dalmatian, jeep, Serengeti sunrise, or themes with graphics that will not peel off. Some have a built-in infantometer, and have a comfortable and ergonomic working height of 36 inches for the healthcare practitioner.
