The ProGlide series with the patented OneTouch WheelBase® System, enables staff to effortlessly move the table to clean the entire exam room and then lock solidly in place for exams - while maintaining ADA height. In addition, the OneTouch Patient Positioning® System enables efficient patient positioning in clinician-preferred, programmable exam positions and return-to-home with a touch of a button. To help healthcare providers meet the needs of the changing patient population, all UMF Medical power tables offer 650-lb. patient weight capacity and ADA wheelchair access.
