Grace Medy FKEM-SDSS-3

NHS maternity units and consultant-led delivery suites are the primary procurement environment for the Grace Medy FKEM-SDSS-3 gynaecological maternity bed. The electric backboard provides smooth, staff-effort-free adjustment from the near-upright active labour position through to the 75° elevated delivery posture. At the same time, the ≥10° minimum downward angle maintains a clinically useful degree of upper-body elevation even at the lowest backboard setting. The detachable ≥180° legboards provide full lithotomy positioning for standard and instrumental vaginal delivery. Medigear.uk supplies the FKEM-SDSS-3 with CE conformity documentation to support NHS supplier qualification.

Private maternity and independent obstetric facilities benefit from the stainless steel base of the FKEM-SDSS-3, which provides a premium clinical aesthetic alongside practical corrosion resistance for environments where the delivery table is the central visual feature of the suite. The 1850 × 600 mm tabletop provides a well-proportioned delivery surface, and the integrated IV pole eliminates the need for a separately positioned drip stand in the delivery bay. The pink upholstery is consistent with the patient-centred interior standards for private maternity suites. Medigear.uk can advise on colour and configuration options for OEM-branded procurement.

Gynaecological procedure rooms and combined delivery and gynaecology suites benefit from the FKEM-SDSS-3's detachable legboard system, which transitions rapidly between delivery lithotomy and examination positions without the need for separate repositioning equipment. The electric backboard and stainless steel base meet the capital equipment standards applied by theatre managers specifying furniture for gynaecological procedure rooms. Distributors supplying obstetric and gynaecological equipment to hospital networks can access container-load pricing and OEM customisation through the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Electric Backboard with Defined 10° Minimum — Never Fully Flat by Design

The FKEM-SDSS-3 backboard is designed to hold a minimum elevation of 10° throughout its range rather than returning to a fully flat position, making it a clinically specific choice for obstetric settings where maintained upper body elevation supports airway management, reduces aortocaval compression in the supine position, and maintains maternal respiratory comfort during the second stage of labour. This is not a limitation but a deliberate specification that distinguishes the FKEM-SDSS-3 from flat-fold delivery tables in the Grace Medy range. Procurement teams should confirm that this specification aligns with their clinical delivery protocols before ordering. The electric actuation of this precise range ensures consistent positioning without relying on staff to manually maintain a minimum angle. Medigear.uk can provide a full technical comparison of the FKEM-SDSS-3 against other models in the Grace Medy maternity range.

75° Electric Backboard Supporting the Full Obstetric Back Elevation Arc

The 75° maximum backboard elevation covers every clinically significant obstetric backrest position — from partial reclining support for early labour monitoring, through the Fowler-range elevations used during active first-stage labour, to the near-upright posture that maximises gravitational assistance and maternal effort during the second stage. Electric actuation provides smooth, progressive elevation without the physical effort of manual backboard support, reducing repetitive strain on midwifery staff across high-throughput delivery shifts. For NHS procurement teams specifying maternity suite capital equipment, electric backboard actuation is an increasingly standard requirement in consultant-led environments. Medigear.uk can confirm the electric mechanism specification and actuation speed.

Stainless Steel Base for Long-Term Durability in High-Decontamination Settings

The stainless steel base of the FKEM-SDSS-3 resists the corrosive effects of chlorine-based and quaternary ammonium disinfectants used during routine delivery suite decontamination cycles, maintaining structural and surface integrity throughout the table's operational lifespan without the chipping or rust risks associated with powder-coated mild steel bases. For NHS trusts managing multi-year delivery suite equipment contracts, the stainless steel base reduces the likelihood of early unit replacement due to corrosion. It supports a lower total cost of ownership over the contract period. The stainless finish also presents the premium clinical aesthetic expected in consultant-led and private obstetric suite environments. Medigear.uk can confirm the base steel grade and construction specification upon request.

Detachable ≥180° Legboards for Full Lithotomy and Rapid Clinical Transition

The manually operated, individually detachable legboards of the FKEM-SDSS-3 extend to a minimum of 180°, achieving full bilateral lithotomy for vaginal delivery, episiotomy, perineal repair, and assisted instrumental procedures. At the same time, tool-free detachability allows a rapid transition to post-delivery examination positioning in seconds. This combination of full lithotomy capability and rapid-release detachability is a standard functional requirement for delivery tables in NHS consultant-led maternity settings. It is equally valued in gynaecological procedure rooms, where rapid transitions between lithotomy and examination positions are routine. Medigear.uk can confirm legboard holder dimensions and attachment mechanism to assist with clinical compatibility assessment.

CE Certified for NHS and Regulated Maternity Capital Procurement

The FKEM-SDSS-3 carries CE certification in accordance with the applicable Medical Device Directive, providing the documentary compliance baseline required for obstetric table procurement in NHS trusts, CQC-regulated private maternity facilities, and integrated care board supply frameworks. Medigear.uk holds the full conformity documentation package and can supply it, along with the technical specifications, electrical data, and accessory information, to support multi-document supplier qualification processes. For distributors managing NHS maternity contracts across multiple sites, CE certification provides a consistent compliance foundation, reducing the documentation burden at each new deployment location.

Integrated IV Pole Eliminating Drip Stand from Delivery Bay Layout

The IV pole, integrated as a standard component of the FKEM-SDSS-3, provides an attachment point for intravenous fluid management during labour and delivery, eliminating the need for a separately positioned floor-standing drip stand in the delivery bay. Removing the drip stand from the delivery floor space simplifies the room's physical layout, reduces the number of items the clinical team must manage and reposition during delivery and emergency interventions, and lowers the risk of collisions and trips associated with mobile equipment in a confined delivery bay. The integrated IV pole is standard equipment and does not need to be procured or budgeted for separately. IV pole height range and weight capacity should be confirmed with Medigear.uk.

Dual-Use Design for Obstetric Delivery and Gynaecological Procedures

Grace Medy specifies the FKEM-SDSS-3 as a gynaecological maternity bed, confirming it is designed to serve both obstetric and gynaecological clinical functions on the same platform. The detachable lithotomy legboards, electric backboard, and IV pole provide the functional configuration required for gynaecologic examinations, colposcopy setups, and minor outpatient procedures without the need for a separate examination couch. For maternity units that also serve as gynaecological assessment or procedure rooms, this dual-use capability eliminates the need for a second piece of capital equipment. It optimises the clinical use of available floor space. Medigear.uk can advise on the suitability of configurations for specific gynaecological workflows.

Pink Upholstery and Clinical Aesthetic for Maternity Suite Environments

The FKEM-SDSS-3 is supplied with pink upholstery as standard, providing a patient-centred, warm aesthetic widely specified in maternity and private gynaecological suite environments, where the physical setting is designed to reduce anxiety and support a positive clinical experience. Combined with the stainless steel base, the pink upholstery creates a visually cohesive presentation for the delivery table that is consistent with premium private maternity design standards. Alternative upholstery colours are available for OEM and bulk orders through Medigear.uk, allowing distributors and institutional buyers to align the table with facility colour coding schemes or branded clinical furniture programmes.

OEM and Bulk Customisation for Obstetric Equipment Distributors

Grace Medy supports full OEM customisation of the FKEM-SDSS-3 for distributors and institutional buyers, including alternative upholstery colours, branded frame components, and specification modifications for specific regulatory markets. Container-load pricing, minimum order quantities, and production lead times for customised variants are negotiated through Medigear.uk, which manages the full supplier relationship for all trade and bulk buyers. Distributors building branded obstetric and gynaecological furniture ranges for NHS trust and private hospital network clients can use the FKEM-SDSS-3 as a core delivery table specification with the clinical precision and CE certification their procurement clients require.

Backboard: Electric, Fold Up ≤75°, Fold Down ≥10°

The backboard adjusts electrically between 10° and 75°. The 10° minimum means the FKEM-SDSS-3 does not return to a fully flat position and maintains a consistent degree of upper-body elevation by design. The 75° upper limit covers the full range of obstetric backrest positions from first-stage labour support through to the near-upright second-stage delivery posture.

Backboard Actuation: Electric

Both the upward and downward adjustments of the backboard are electrically controlled, providing smooth, staff-effort-free positioning throughout the delivery process. Electric actuation eliminates the physical demands of manual backboard management and allows a single clinician to set precise angles. Control interface type and actuation speed should be confirmed with Medigear.uk.

Legboard: Manual, Detachable, Extension ≥180°

The legboards are manually operated and extend to a minimum of 180° for full bilateral lithotomy positioning—individual detachability without tools enables rapid removal of either legboard during post-delivery examination or emergency access. Manual operation provides fine tactile control during active positioning of the delivery.

Tabletop Dimensions: 1850 × 600 mm

The main patient surface measures 1850 mm in length and 600 mm in width, providing a well-proportioned obstetric platform for adult maternal positioning across labour, delivery, and post-partum care. The 1850 mm length accommodates the full extension of an adult patient from head to foot without repositioning.

Tabletop Thickness: 20 mm

The specified 20 mm tabletop thickness confirms a solid, non-deflecting platform that maintains a stable, consistent support geometry beneath the patient throughout delivery positioning changes and clinical access manoeuvres. This specification is notable because it is explicitly included in the manufacturer's published data, providing procurement engineers with a confirmed structural parameter.

Base Material: Stainless Steel

The table base is fabricated from stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance to clinical disinfectants, structural rigidity throughout the delivery process, and a premium finish consistent with obstetric theatre and consultant-led delivery suite design standards. The stainless base reduces long-term maintenance requirements compared with powder-coated mild steel alternatives in high-decontamination environments.

Standard Upholstery: Pink

Pink upholstery is supplied as standard across the tabletop and backboard surfaces, providing a patient-centred aesthetic appropriate to maternity and gynaecological suite environments. Alternative colours are available for OEM and bulk orders through Medigear.uk.

IV Pole: Integrated (Standard)

An IV pole is integrated into the standard configuration of the FKEM-SDSS-3, providing an intravenous fluid management attachment point without the need for a separately positioned floor stand. The integrated IV pole is included at no additional procurement cost and simplifies the delivery bay layout. The load capacity and height adjustment range should be confirmed with Medigear.uk.

CE Certification: Medical Device Directive

The FKEM-SDSS-3 is CE certified in accordance with the applicable Medical Device Directive, confirming compliance with the safety and performance standards for obstetric and gynaecological clinical tables. Full conformity documentation is available through Medigear.uk for NHS trusts and regulated private healthcare procurement qualification processes.

Castors: Fitted for Ward Repositioning

Castors are fitted to the base of the FKEM-SDSS-3, enabling controlled repositioning of the table within the delivery bay or between rooms. Castors must be locked whenever the table is occupied and stationary. Castor specification and brake mechanism details are available through Medigear.uk.

Dual Clinical Use: Obstetric and Gynaecological

The FKEM-SDSS-3 is specified by Grace Medy as a gynaecological maternity bed, confirming suitability for both obstetric delivery and gynaecological clinical workflows. The detachable lithotomy legboards, electric backboard, and IV pole create the clinical configuration required for gynaecological examinations, colposcopy, and minor procedures without a separate couch.

Electrical Power Requirement

The electric backboard requires a mains electrical supply. Input voltage, motor rating, power consumption, and battery backup availability should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team before finalising delivery suite electrical installation planning. IEC 60601 medical electrical safety equivalence documentation should be requested as part of the pre-purchase technical review.

OEM Customisation Supported

The FKEM-SDSS-3 supports OEM customisation,n including upholstery colour, branded components, and modified specifications for specific regulatory markets. Container-load pricing and production lead times are negotiated through Medigear.uk for all bulk and institutional orders.
