Description
The Lumex Bariatric Trapeze rated for 450 lb gives larger patients a trapeze built for their weight class. It supports self-repositioning and caregiver-assisted moves on bariatric beds.
- 450 lb capacity
- Bariatric trapeze construction
- Overhead self-repositioning handle
- For bariatric beds and programs
- Lumex trapeze range
A trapeze is only useful if its rating covers the patient, and standard models leave bariatric patients out. The 2940B is rated 450 lb, bringing overhead self-repositioning to the first tier of bariatric care. Patients pull to shift and turn, caregivers assist with a rated piece of equipment rather than improvisation. It sits in the Lumex range between the standard Versa-Helper and the 600 lb free-standing model, sharing documentation with the latter on Graham-Field's site.
