TableFit Compliant Treatment Furniture

 

Working Towards Safer Treatment Surfaces

At the heart of healthcare service delivery is the assurance of safety, hygiene, and effectiveness in patient care. Recognising this fundamental need, TableFit has been established as a pivotal national standard, epitomising the collective wisdom of clinicians, sterile service professionals, and key industry players. It's goal is to set a benchmark for the selection and specification of treatment tables and therapy couches, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality and safety.

 

 

Key Aims of TableFit Standard

TableFit is not just a standard; it's a commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery. It's objectives are clear and are designed to bring about a transformative change in the way treatment surfaces are viewed and utilised within the healthcare sector: 

• Enhanced Hygiene and Design Awareness: Elevating the importance of hygiene-critical features in the design and selection of treatment surfaces.
• Elimination of Inferior Quality: Identifying and discouraging the use of treatment surfaces that negatively impact patient care.
• Reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): Aiding healthcare trusts in achieving cost efficiency without compromising on quality.
• Encouraging innovation by setting clear benchmarks for quality and safety, without excluding new market entrants.

 

Why TableFit Matters

With hundreds of clinical procedures taking place daily, treatment surfaces are a critical touchpoint in the patient journey. The choice of treatment and examination devices, therefore, must prioritise: 

1. Safety: Ensuring the well-being of patients during their care.
2. Hygiene: Maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and sterility.
3. Stability: Providing a reliable foundation for various treatments.

TableFit serves as a crucial guide for healthcare buyers, allowing them to quickly identify equipment that meets essential safety, hygiene, and stability criteria before considering the cost-effectiveness of their purchase. For manufacturers, TableFit simplifies the process of participating in bids and demonstrations, ensuring their products align with best practices and stakeholder expectations.
