Plinth Medical 503H 3-Section Hydraulic Treatment Couch

The Plinth Medical Model 503H Hydraulic 3-Section Examination Couch is a UK-manufactured treatment couch designed for healthcare environments requiring versatile patient positioning without electric height operation. Its hydraulic lifting mechanism and manually adjustable backrest and foot section make it suitable for routine examinations and treatment procedures.

With a 250kg safe working load (SWL), rigid frame construction and antimicrobial vinyl upholstery, this examination couch provides a durable treatment surface for busy clinical settings.

Hydraulic Height Adjustment

The Model 503H features hydraulic height adjustment, allowing healthcare professionals to raise or lower the couch without relying on an electric lifting motor.

This makes it a practical choice for examination rooms where non-electric height operation is preferred.

The manufacturer's datasheet specifies an approximate height range of 47cm to 97cm for the Model 503 range, although it does not separately confirm this measurement for the hydraulic configuration.

Versatile Three-Section Design

The Model 503H features three upholstered sections, allowing practitioners to adjust the backrest and foot section independently.

Both sections offer a manual adjustment range from -20° to +85°, providing flexibility for sitting, lying, prone and supine patient positioning.

The adjustable foot section supports the lower limbs, while the backrest can be raised to accommodate examinations requiring a more upright patient position.

Adjustable Backrest and Foot Section

The manually adjustable backrest and foot section allow healthcare professionals to select a suitable position for different procedures.

Both sections can be raised to +85° or lowered to -20°, providing a range of positive and negative positioning options.

Anti-entrapment gas struts are included as standard to support the adjustment mechanisms.

250kg Safe Working Load

The Plinth Medical Model 503H has a safe working load and lifting capacity of 250kg.

Its robust frame construction is designed to provide strength and rigidity during regular clinical use.

This makes the couch suitable for healthcare facilities requiring a higher-capacity examination surface with adjustable patient positioning.

Antimicrobial Vinyl Upholstery

The Model 503H features hardwearing antimicrobial vinyl upholstery with comfortable foam padding.

The vinyl has been independently tested for effectiveness in reducing the spread of MRSA, E. coli and similar bacteria and fungi.

It is phthalate-free, flame retardant to CRIB 5 and has achieved a rating of 1,000,000 Martindale rubs without damage or marking to the top layer.

These properties make the upholstery suitable for busy healthcare environments where regular cleaning and durability are important.

Retractable Wheel Base and Hoist Clearance

A retractable wheel base allows the couch to be repositioned around the treatment room when required.

An adjustable foot helps provide stability on uneven floor surfaces.

With 13cm clearance beneath the frame, the Model 503H also provides access for compatible mobile patient hoists.

Designed for Professional Healthcare Environments

The Plinth Medical Model 503H Hydraulic Examination Couch is suitable for outpatient departments, rehabilitation facilities, GP surgeries, health centres, colleges, universities and private clinics.

Its hydraulic height adjustment, three-section treatment surface and adjustable patient positioning make it a practical option for healthcare professionals carrying out a variety of examinations and procedures.

The couch is designed and manufactured in the UK, with a manufacturer-stated average lifespan of 16 years.

Upholstery Colour Options

The Model 503H is available in a range of upholstery colours to complement different healthcare environments.
