Two tread heights break the climb onto a bed, a plinth or an examination table into shorter rises. That helps clients with limited knee or hip range, and it cuts the amount of physical assistance a clinician has to give during the transfer.
The frame is metal and the tread surfaces are rubber, so the step holds its footing on hard clinical floors and gives grip underfoot when shoes are wet. It is built to stay where it is put, which suits a treatment room, an operating theatre or a ward bay.
Wiping down between patients is straightforward, and there is nothing to assemble or adjust once it is in place.
