Reliance Medical Couch Step, Examination Couch Access
A sturdy step used to help patients climb safely onto an examination couch, sized at 30 by 40 by 30 centimetres for clinics and treatment rooms.
The Couch Step is a simple piece of clinical furniture used to make it easier and safer for patients to climb up onto a raised examination couch, particularly for shorter patients, older patients or anyone with limited mobility who might otherwise struggle to step up unaided. Providing a stable step reduces the risk of a patient slipping or straining themselves while trying to reach the height of a standard couch, which supports both patient safety and a smoother, more dignified examination process for clinical staff.
At 30 centimetres high, 40 centimetres wide and 30 centimetres deep, the step offers a solid, appropriately sized platform without being so large that it becomes awkward to position and store around a couch in a busy treatment room. It is a practical, low cost item for GP surgeries, physiotherapy clinics, hospital outpatient departments and any setting using a standard height examination couch as part of routine patient assessment or treatment.
Keeping a couch step available also supports compliance with general patient safety and accessibility expectations in a clinical environment.
