Buy Examination Couch in Nigeria.

Which examination couches are listed by Franance in Nigeria?

The current category assigns four GPC Medical records: GHF70.02 examination couch, GHF70.03 examination couch, GHF70.08 three-section examination couch and GHF70.10 gynaecological examination table. The first three are general examination couch designs; the GHF70.10 manufacturer listing describes a gynaecological examination table with a perineal recess and leg holder. Browse the full category to see all four products together.

These are distinct from powered examination or operating tables, delivery beds, stretchers and patient beds. Confirm the room’s intended examination tasks and patient transfer approach before comparing models. Do not assume that a table with a similar name includes a step, storage, stirrups, paper roll holder, mattress, rails or other fittings. Record each required item in the request and ask the supplier to label it included, optional or excluded.

How do the GHF70.02 and GHF70.03 couches differ?

GPC Medical describes the GHF70.02 as a two-section couch with a fixed rexine-upholstered top and gas-spring-adjustable headrest. Its product information lists drawers and doors for storage, a sliding footstep, a blood-pressure apparatus tray and overall dimensions of 1890 × 560 × 840 mm. These details make storage and an integrated step part of the published configuration; the buyer should still confirm whether the exact quote includes all of these items and whether the dimensions and access features fit the receiving room.

GPC describes the GHF70.03 as a couch with a hand-lever-adjustable backrest, an upholstered top covered with washable plastic material, rubber shoes, epoxy-powder-coated finish and knock-down construction. The listed size is 1800 × 550 × 800 mm. The page also identifies GHF70.031 as chrome-plated and GHF70.032 as stainless steel. These suffixes matter: specify the exact variant and finish so that a quote does not silently substitute the standard configuration.

The GHF70.02’s described gas-spring headrest and storage-equipped cabinet differ from the GHF70.03’s adjustable backrest and simpler frame description. Compare these as functional choices, not just price or “examination couch” names. Ask whether the couch is supplied assembled or knocked down, how it is secured during installation, what adjustment positions are available, and which finish, upholstery and hardware are included in the delivered unit.

When should I choose a three-section couch or gynaecological table?

The GHF70.08 is listed by GPC as a three-section examination couch. A three-section top may support a different positioning workflow from a two-section couch, but the name alone does not establish the angle range, locking method, adjustment controls, dimensions, upholstery, load capacity or included accessories. Request the current technical sheet and ask the clinical and facilities teams to review the actual section movements and transfer route before specifying it.

The GHF70.10 is identified by GPC as an examination table gynae. Manufacturer information describes a cushioned top, perineal recess and leg-end lithotomy leg holder, with a mild-steel tubular frame and epoxy-coated finish. Its listed dimensions are 1820 × 610 × 760 mm. Confirm the fit and adjustment range of the leg holder, whether it is supplied as a pair and how it is adjusted or removed. This product should not be confused with a delivery bed or a powered procedure table.

For either design, the clinical owner should define intended examinations and positioning needs. The procurement specification should then state required sections, head/back adjustments, leg supports or holders, safe working load, mattress or cushion, patient steps, storage and accessory compatibility. The manufacturer’s available product listing does not provide a complete answer for every facility’s procedure or ergonomic needs, so request written details for the exact offered unit.

What dimensions, adjustment and load details should I confirm?

Check overall length, width and working height against the room layout, patient access, clinician reach, privacy screens and door or lift route. The quoted GHF70.02, GHF70.03 and GHF70.10 pages provide overall dimensions, but these do not by themselves confirm free floor area, adjustment envelope, clearance beneath the couch or the space needed for patient transfer. For GHF70.08, obtain current dimensional drawings rather than inferring size from its three-section name.

Ask for the safe working load and clarify what that rating covers, such as a centred patient load or movement while the couch is adjusted. Confirm the angle and support range for the headrest or backrest, adjustment mechanism, any locking or anti-slip features, and whether adjustment is intended to be operated by one staff member. Request documentation for testing and maintenance where relevant. Do not rely on general marketing descriptions such as “durable” as a substitute for a model-specific load rating or technical specification.

If a couch has wheels, brakes, a step or removable components, specify the required setup and handling. The current published GHF70.02 page lists a sliding footstep, while the GHF70.03 description specifies rubber shoes. Avoid assuming that these features are interchangeable. For spaces where a couch must be moved for cleaning or room reconfiguration, confirm its weight, floor-contact design, stability, moving method and whether castors or a trolley are offered for that exact model.

How should I plan upholstery, cleaning and infection-control details?

Ask the supplier to identify the exact upholstery material, colour, seams, cushion construction and cleaning instructions for the offered configuration. GPC describes washable plastic covering on the GHF70.03 and a fixed rexine-upholstered top on the GHF70.02. The GHF70.10 is described as having a cushioned top. Confirm that the specified materials and seams can be cleaned with the facility’s approved products and routine; a generic “easy to clean” statement does not establish compatibility with every disinfectant.

Review how the surface handles routine wiping, fluids, wear and replacement. Ask whether upholstery is removable or replaceable, how to order a replacement cushion or cover, and whether repair affects warranty. Clarify how to inspect the couch for damage and which cleaning instructions apply to the frame, upholstery, adjustment mechanism and accessories. The receiving facility’s infection-prevention team should approve the cleaning approach before procurement.

Finish also affects maintenance planning. GPC lists chrome-plated and stainless-steel variants for the GHF70.03, while the standard page describes epoxy-powder-coated metal. Confirm the exact material or finish, care instructions and any coastal, humid or high-cleaning exposure considerations with the manufacturer and facility biomedical team. Do not infer corrosion performance, chemical compatibility or an infection-control certification from finish names alone.

What accessories should I include in the examination couch quote?

Create an accessory schedule based on the intended examination. It can include a step, paper roll holder, storage, BP tray, stirrups or leg holders, head support, cushions, straps, rails, castors or other positioning aids, but only list items the facility actually requires. State the quantity and model compatibility for each and ask the supplier to confirm whether it is included, optional or sold separately. GHF70.02’s published specification names a sliding step and BP apparatus tray; GHF70.10 lists a leg holder. Verify that the quoted package matches the catalog language.

For gynaecological use, confirm the shape and adjustment of leg holders and their mounting, padding and cleaning method. For general examination rooms, ask whether a step is necessary for the expected couch height and patient population, and specify a stable design that fits the room. Storage furniture or equipment trays should be described separately so that the supplier does not treat a product photo as a bill of materials.

Ask for product drawings, assembly instructions, accessory part numbers and a packing list. Clarify whether the delivery includes tools, fasteners, installation, assembly or handover. For facilities buying multiple couches, request a schedule showing each room, model, finish, accessories and destination. That makes it easier to inspect the shipment against the purchase order and identify missing components before the supplier leaves.

What room and delivery planning is important in Nigeria?

Measure the examination room and the delivery route from the receiving bay to the final room. Include corridor turns, doors, lifts, ramps and any staircase. GPC notes knock-down construction for the GHF70.03 and GHF70.10, which may affect packing and assembly; verify the pack dimensions and whether assembly is included. Ask for estimated package dimensions, weight, assembly requirements and the tools or staff needed at the destination.

Give Franance the facility name, Nigerian state and city, delivery address, receiving contact and any site access limits. Ask the written offer to clarify transport, unloading, final placement, assembly and installation responsibilities, including any extra cost for remote sites or difficult access. Confirm the proposed delivery date only through the quote; catalogue listings do not confirm stock, transit time or a delivery schedule for every state.

Before delivery, assign a facility contact to check the model, finish, dimensions, accessories, visible condition and documentation against the purchase order. Ask for warranty and after-sales contacts, maintenance guidance, recommended inspection interval, replacement upholstery or components, and how to request repair. WHO’s technical specification guidance supports including installation, maintenance and training requirements in medical-equipment procurement; apply the same lifecycle thinking to furniture and accessories even when the item has no electrical system.

What should a complete examination couch specification include?

Write the requirement in a way that lets procurement compare equivalent offers. Include the intended clinical room and use; number of sections; adjustment type and range; working height; overall dimensions; safe working load; frame material and finish; cushion and upholstery; cleaning compatibility; required footstep, storage or positioning accessories; assembly; warranty; and service or replacement-part expectations. State any must-have dimensions and acceptable alternatives. Ask bidders to identify deviations from the specification rather than leaving assumptions hidden in product photos or generic descriptions.

WHO’s guide to technical specifications for medical devices identifies procurement, maintenance and staff training as part of the specification lifecycle. For examination couches, that translates into asking not only “what is the table price?” but also “what arrives, what does the room need, how is it maintained and how can parts be replaced?” Request the manufacturer’s current product data, drawings, warranty terms, cleaning directions, parts list and assembly details for the exact model.

When evaluating GHF70.02, GHF70.03, GHF70.08 and GHF70.10, compare equivalent finish and accessories. A storage-equipped couch, a three-section top and a gynaecological table are different configurations. Do not rank them by one general category label alone. Have the intended users review adjustment, patient transfer and accessory fit, while facilities and procurement review space, delivery and lifecycle costs.

How do I request an examination couch quote from Franance?

Choose the model listing that fits the preliminary specification and send Franance the model number, quantity, room or department, facility name, state and city, upholstery or finish variant, accessory schedule and delivery constraints. For GHF70.03, state whether the requested variant is GHF70.031 chrome plated or GHF70.032 stainless steel if that is the needed finish. For the GHF70.08, ask for current technical data before confirming the configuration. For GHF70.10, specify the required leg-holder arrangement and related accessories.

Ask for an itemized written quote that identifies the exact model, dimensions, finish, upholstery, safe working load, included accessories, assembly, freight, delivery, installation, warranty, quote validity and payment terms. Request written clarification for any option or deviation. If delivery is to a satellite clinic, include the complete destination and receiving contact so the supplier can price logistics accurately.

Franance’s catalogue supports quote orders, not online purchase. Submit an examination couch quotation request. Franance follows up by phone or email to clarify details and prepare the offer. Final availability, price, delivery and service arrangements should be confirmed in the written proposal for the exact destination.
