Medicine Table Hight adjustable - Over Bed Food Table

The Medicine Table Height Adjustable - Over Bed Food Table is a mobile overbed support table designed for patients, caregivers, and clinical staff in hospital wards, rehabilitation centres, and home-care settings. Commonly used as an adjustable overbed medicine table, it provides a stable surface for meals, medication administration, charting, reading, or laptop use during prolonged bed rest and post-operative recovery. The height-adjustable frame allows compatibility with standard hospital beds, recliner chairs, and patient trolleys, supporting ergonomic access for both ambulatory and non-ambulatory users. Its wipe-clean tabletop and mobile base configuration make it suitable for routine bedside use in medical and domestic care environments.

CLINICAL USE CONTEXT

Overbed tables are routinely used in inpatient wards, post-operative recovery units, long-term care facilities, and home-based rehabilitation settings where patients require accessible bedside support during limited mobility. Nursing staff commonly utilise the table during oral medication administration, nutritional support, and bedside documentation activities. In orthopaedic recovery and neurological rehabilitation, adjustable bedside tables assist patients who are unable to transfer independently to standard seating arrangements. The height-adjustable mechanism enables appropriate positioning for patients using Fowler, semi-Fowler, or reclined bed configurations, reducing unnecessary reaching and improving accessibility during recovery. In home-care environments, caregivers frequently use overbed tables to support hydration, meal intake, and communication devices for elderly or mobility-impaired individuals.
