Why Choose a U-Base Overbed Table?
Hospitals and healthcare facilities need overbed tables that adapt to patients, visitors, and caregivers. MedViron’s 36″ U-Base Overbed Table is designed to do just that—offering exceptional clearance, stability, and a generous work surface for a wide range of clinical and patient care settings.
What Makes a U-Base Overbed Table Different?
Unlike traditional H-base tables, a U-base (or C-base) overbed table is shaped to slide around wheel chairs, some patient room recliners, or specialty seating without interference. This design improves accessibility for both patients and staff while maintaining a compact footprint. The open base also reduces the need for awkward lifting or repositioning when moving the table close to the patient.
Typical Uses of a 36″ U-Base Overbed Table
A 36-inch wide overbed table offers a larger work surface than standard models, while the U-shaped base provides flexibility in a variety of clinical environments:
- Accommodating wheel chairs and recliners – The open base easily fits around many chairs, recliners, and visitor seating.
- Patient meals and personal items – With 36 inches of width, there’s room for meal trays, reading materials, and personal devices without crowding the surface.
- Procedural and clinical support – Nurses and therapists can position the table close to the bedside for medication prep, dressing changes, or minor procedures.
- Therapy and rehabilitation – Occupational and physical therapists often use wide overbed tables to support adaptive exercises, hand therapy activities, or assistive devices.
- Visitor and family use – In family-friendly patient rooms, the table doubles as a workspace or dining surface for guests sitting nearby.
