Does this system work well with patients over 250lbs?

I am 238lb and it works well for me. I don't see any reason why it would not work for 250lb. Good luck!

don't know if pt over 250 lbs. but it works well for my mom who is bed bound, prevents bedsores and better compared to gel mattress, that does not allow any space for air to circulate in between repositioning. i would definitely recommend it to bed bound patients.

There is another model for people over 220 lbs which I ordered for my father and it works so well for him.

Yes, and the armrests swing away. It is lightweight also. The patient that uses it is about 135 pounds.

I am 60 and this has increased my upper body strength trremendously. I wok in a nursing home and have seen positive changes in my lifting abilities I didn't have before using this system.

I am 250lbs and it works very well. It does have to be broke in. seems very stiff at first but once broke in it is nice.

Yup, seen it work well with my own eyes. My brother and his wife are about 500 pounds together also. But like my review says, there was an issue with them both being drawn to the center. Since you asked this question last April, I wonder about your experience with the product. I'll check to see if you wrote a review.

I don't know. I weigh about 180 pounds and it works fine for me. I do think a person with a very large derriere would have problems using this. Other than that, it has been a joy to own.

I don't know but it's worked well for both my mother (130 lbs) and my father-in-law (170 lbs).

I purchased this for my grandmother who is at least 200 pounds. It is a heavy duty bench which makes it able to sustain more weight, but it's not a bariatric bench which would be for someone over 300 pounds. Hope that helps.

I am a Physical Therapist and I use it on all of my patients who are all adults, including obese patients. BTW for the price it is an excellent deal. The ability to read the PO2 and HR could be better but for the price you can't go wrong.

The answer to your question is Yes. This unit is pretty stable. As far as heavy use, I have had mine for 2+ months and it still works great. I weigh in at 200 and am almost 6' tall, and it does not have a problem handling me.

I'm not sure, it's a fairly sturdy piece of machinery....my husband had no trouble on it and he was 240 before losing weight..........

No. It didn't work at all for my fiance who is much less than 300 lbs. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone really, maybe it would work for a person 150 lbs or less.

I use it on patient lying in bed and find it works very well. Just remember to adjust arm/wrist position to heart level and support the arm in the correct position and limit arm movement. (That's important)

I am under 120 and use it regularly but I have a son who is 210 who uses it occasionally and I have had a friend who is near 300 who used it a few times. It seems to be able to hold the weight fine while assisting with p/ups.
