VERSAILLES, Ohio - Midmark Corporation kicked off its new Barrier-Free™ table promotion by offering special pricing for customers purchasing Midmark 622 and 623 and Ritter 222 and 223 Barrier-Free examination tables, as well as a buy-back program for physicians’ old exam tables when physicians replace them with Barrier-Free exam tables.

The Patient’s Table: Providing Security. Building Confidence. Everyone is entitled to equal access care, but for a large portion of the population, a visit to the doctor’s office is both stressful and ineffective. Barriers are created by equipment that does not address the physical limitations of all patients, including the elderly, disabled, obese and expectant mothers. To address these needs, Midmark created a line of Barrier-Free tables that are more “chair-like”, allowing the patient’s feet to rest comfortably on the floor. The table offers a low height of 18" – actually lower than a standard chair – making it possible for people of all heights and sizes to sit with ease. Barrier-Free tables are quickly becoming the new industry standard in efficient patient care. They not only provide increased efficiency, safety and comfort for the patient, but for the physician and staff, by increasing patient flow and reducing the risk of injury.
