Bariatric Care


Prescribing Plus Size Equipment

Challenges grow for companies to produce equipment that assists professionals to deliver dignified care, as well as safe handling and a risk free environment for clients and carers. A safe patient handling programme will always be priority, whether in a hospital environment or in a patients home. Many carers have developed severe muscle and skeletal injuries. These injuries are caused by physical stress and exertion on their bodies when providing care for patients such as lifting or re-positioning. A number of appropriate steps should be taken to reduce the risk of injury to carers to the lowest level where reasonably practical.

Centrobed manufacture equipment to assist clients and carers with day to day care. We customise our products to suit the clients weight – height – and their individual ability and needs. There are numerous risks associated with being overweight including diabetes and stroke.
