VISIT Hygiene Couch for Mobile Examination, Therapy and Assisted Changing

The VISIT Hygiene Couch is designed as a robust, mobile examination, therapy and hygiene changing platform that delivers exceptional performance in both professional care environments and modern Changing Places facilities. Built to cater for a wide range of user needs, it combines durability, comfort, stability and smooth handling in one thoughtfully engineered piece of equipment. The couch’s strength lies not only in its resilient frame, but in the way each feature has been shaped around practical daily use, ensuring that both users and care assistants benefit from a secure and comfortable experience during every routine. With a sturdy hydraulic mechanism, large castors, a padded top and reliable folding rails, the VISIT is a dependable and adaptable option for clinical settings, community facilities, therapy spaces and any location where flexible support is required.

One of the defining elements of the VISIT Hygiene Couch is its hydraulic height adjustment system, operated via dual-sided foot pedals that offer smooth, precise control. This feature allows carers to raise or lower the couch from either side, creating a more efficient workflow and minimising unnecessary movements. Whether the task involves transferring a user from a wheelchair, repositioning during an assessment, or preparing for therapy activities, the wide height range of 470–970mm ensures that the couch can always be set at a safe and ergonomic working level. This capability significantly reduces the physical strain on staff, supports good manual handling practice, and provides a more dignified experience for the user. The hydraulic lift is supported by a dual-arm lifting mechanism, engineered to provide outstanding stability throughout the entire adjustment sequence, preventing wobbling or uneven movement and creating a reassuringly steady platform.

Beyond its height adjustability, the VISIT Hygiene Couch features an extra-wide padded surface with a generous usable width of 80mm. This provides plenty of room for comfortable positioning during changing, therapy or clinical assessments. The padding is finished with soft foam and a choice of coloured vinyls, allowing facilities to select a look that suits their environment while ensuring easy cleaning and hygiene maintenance. The vinyl upholstery is designed to be smooth, hard-wearing and resistant to frequent wiping, ideal for high-use public settings, health facilities and Changing Places rooms that require rapid turnaround and consistent cleanliness. The wide surface area is particularly valuable for users who require additional space for comfort, or for care assistants who need to reposition the user safely without feeling restricted.

Key Features

• Hydraulic height adjustment system
• Dual-sided foot pedals for height operation
• Soft padded top with 80cm usable width
• Raising backrest: +70° to -20°
• Folding safety rails on both long sides
• Dual-arm lifting mechanism for added stability
• Height adjustment range: 470–970mm
• Couch weight: 74kg

Adding to its versatility, the VISIT includes an elevating head section that operates through a hydraulic action. This headrest lifts to 70 degrees and lowers to -20 degrees, allowing the couch to serve multiple functions beyond standard changing tasks. Whether supporting therapy sessions, clinical examinations, seated positioning or assisted personal care, this adaptable head section helps users maintain a comfortable angle while giving carers the flexibility to tailor the couch configuration to the task at hand. The wide adjustment range is especially useful in therapy settings where the head and torso need different levels of support, or when a user requires a specific posture for comfort, communication or medical observation.

Safety is another key focus of the VISIT Hygiene Couch. Each long side is fitted with folding safety rails that ensure the user remains secure during positioning, transfers and care routines. These rails create a protective boundary that helps prevent accidental slips or rolling, especially during moments when the user may be adjusting their posture or when carers are moving around the couch. They fold down quickly when required, enabling smooth transfers or therapy access without obstructing movement. Their robust construction adds a reassuring sense of security, both for the user and the care assistant, allowing tasks to be carried out with confidence.

The mobility of the VISIT couch further enhances its practicality. With large 120mm castors, the couch rolls smoothly across a variety of flooring surfaces, from hospital corridors to wet rooms and therapy suites. Three of the castors are equipped with brakes, giving carers the ability to lock the couch firmly in place whenever stability is required. The fourth castor includes a directional lock, which is especially useful during longer movements through corridors or when lining up the couch precisely within a room. This combination of braking and directional control makes manoeuvring the couch efficient, predictable and safe, even in tight or busy environments where precision matters. For Changing Places facilities, the ease of mobility is a major advantage, as it allows the couch to be repositioned whenever access, room layout or user preference requires a different arrangement.
