Plinth Bariatric Couch, Electric Backrest With Footswitch

The Plinth 50CD Bariatric Divided Leg Podiatry Couch is a robust, purpose-designed treatment couch for podiatry and lower-limb procedures where increased patient capacity, stability and accessible positioning are essential.

Developed specifically to support larger and heavier patients, the 50CD combines an extra-wide 78cm treatment surface with a substantial 320kg (50 stone) safe working load and lifting capacity. Its reinforced construction provides a stable platform for professional treatment while maintaining the positioning flexibility required for podiatric and lower-limb procedures.

The couch features electric height and backrest adjustment, allowing practitioners to position the patient appropriately for different procedures while also achieving a comfortable working height. The height range of approximately 49–98cm provides a low access position for patient transfer while allowing the couch to be raised for improved practitioner ergonomics.

The divided leg sections are independently manually adjustable and incorporate extending heel pads, providing flexibility when treating patients of different heights. The backrest and foot sections can also be positioned to support patients in both prone and supine positions, making the 50CD suitable for a range of podiatry, biomechanics and lower-limb procedures.

Self-levelling armrests provide additional support when the patient is seated or semi-seated, while the removable fold-back design helps facilitate patient access and transfer. Retractable heavy-duty twin wheels allow the couch to be repositioned within the treatment environment when required, while adjustable feet help maintain stability on uneven flooring.

The couch is upholstered in hard-wearing antimicrobial vinyl with comfort foam, providing a durable and practical surface for professional treatment environments. Plinth manufactures the 50CD in the UK and provides a lifetime frame guarantee and five-year guarantee on components.
