Description
An Overbed Table (Manual) is a versatile and essential piece of hospital furniture designed to provide convenience and comfort to patients during their stay in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and home care settings. The table is specifically designed to be positioned over a patient’s bed, allowing easy access to meals, medicines, reading materials, laptops, and other personal items without requiring the patient to leave the bed.
The manual overbed table is typically constructed using a sturdy mild steel or stainless steel frame with a laminated wooden or ABS plastic tabletop. The tabletop is smooth, easy to clean, and resistant to stains and moisture, ensuring proper hygiene in healthcare environments. The height of the table can be manually adjusted through a knob, lever, or screw mechanism, allowing caregivers and patients to set the table at a comfortable working or eating height.
Most overbed tables are mounted on castor wheels, which provide smooth mobility and allow the table to be easily moved and positioned around the bed. The wheels are often fitted with locking mechanisms for added stability and safety. The “C”-shaped or “H”-shaped base design enables the table to slide conveniently under hospital beds while maintaining balance and strength.
Manual overbed tables are highly useful for bedridden patients as they support daily activities such as eating, writing, reading, and using electronic devices comfortably. Their compact design, ease of movement, and adjustable functionality make them an important accessory in patient care
