According to government reports, the UK population is facing a significant increase in the proportion of Bariatric, (clinically obese), patients, both adults and children

It follows that those requiring transport or evacuation result in a rising challenge facing the emergency service. With this comes the need to ensure that patients are treated in a safe and dignified way

DS Medical specialises in equipment used in the care of these bariatric patients i.e. those who have a weight that far exceeds recommended guidelines and weigh over 25 stone (160kg) with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of greater than 40 (a BMI of over 30 is considered obese)

Our product portfolio covers many aspects of bariatric care including BMI calculators, scales, CPR boards, transfer sheets, lifting and handling equipment, bariatric ambulance trolleys and training manikins

We specialise in supporting bariatric care in the pre-hospital environment with robust functional equipment that meets the needs of bariatric patients and their handlers
