Product Details

Bariatric Height and Width Adjustable Parallel Bars

Ideal for use in hospitals and professional care environments, the Bariatric Height and Width Adjustable Parallel Bars are designed to assist with physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and improve the mobility of bariatric patients. The bars can be adjusted to suit the needs of the patient during physical therapy and rehabilitation sessions and include a slip resistant floor.

What's Included?

  • 2 x Height and Width Adjustable Parallel Bars
  • 6 x Support struts for the parallel bars
  • 1 x Slip-resistant non-sparkle floor surface

What Weight Can These Parallel Bars Support?

These bars are suitable for users with a weight of up to 250kg (39 stone). They include heavy gauge steel uprights for excellent support and feature a unique clamping failsafe locking mechanism that keeps the bars secure once adjusted.

How Adjustable Are the Bariatric Parallel Bars?

One of the main benefits of the Bariatric Parallel Bars is the ability to adjust the height and width of the bars which means you can cater to the individual needs of each patient. The height can be adjusted from 65cm to 100cm, with 5cm increments for maximum control and the width can extend from 70cm to 90cm to benefit the patient during use.

How Strong Are the Bariatric Parallel Bars?

The heavy-gauge steel uprights offer a sturdy structure for the bars, and the clamping failsafe locking mechanism helps to ensure that the bars remain securely in place once adjusted. With a slip-resistant surface and ramps at either end to aid wheelchair transfers, the Parallel Bars are ideal for improving the mobility of bariatric patients in healthcare environments.

What Are the Advantages of Non-Sparkle Floors?

A non-sparkle design essentially means that the floor is a solid colour, with no shine or flecks of other colours. Non-sparkle colour design has been shown to help reduce confusion among dementia patients, making this product a great choice for care homes. 

What Material Is Used For the Flooring?

The flooring used with these parallel bars is a wood-effect vinyl material in a 'Farmhouse Oak' shade. The flooring has been tested for slip-resistance and fire-safety standards to ensure optimal safety for all users.

Are These Bariatric Bars Suitable for Wheelchair Access?

The base platform has been designed with inclines at both ends to make wheelchair access easier. This is also highly beneficial for patients who struggle to lift their feet high off the ground, making it easier for them to enter and exit the parallel bar area. 

Key Features and Benefits of the Parallel Bars

  • Adjustable height and width to suit the individual needs of patients
  • Slip-resistant floor providing a safer surface 
  • Clamping failsafe locking mechanism improves safety of bars following adjusting
