Sintang MT lists the Clinic4-0011LH on its kid couch and recovery couch sheet as a panel leg recovery couch with shelf, the low-height member of its Clinic-4 range. Its panel leg design is billed as sleek and easy to clean, and it ships knock-down for quick assembly.

Its padded top stands 550 mm from the floor and measures 1830 mm long and 680 mm wide. The backrest has six settings of approximately 27°, 36°, 43°, 50°, 55° and 60°. The photographs show one long shelf spanning the frame close to the floor, blue upholstery over pale grey laminate on the backrest version, and a paper roll holder at the head end. No castors appear, so the couch rests on its two panels and stays where it is put during a transfer. Laminate comes in beech, oak or grey.

Several range-wide details come from Sintang MT's Clinic-4 series literature, not this sheet: 50 mm (2 in) firm foam, chip-resistant PVC edges, a rounded-corner top, an optional paper roll holder and a 181 kg (400 lb) capacity under normal use. Because this is a low build, ask Sintang MT to state the load figure for this model specifically.

Gaps remain: the upholstery material and fire classification, flat lowering of the backrest, the shelf's load, and the clearance under the frame for hoist legs. Ask Medigear.uk to include those answers in the quotation, so the couch can be evaluated against the patients who will use it.

Stroke and neurological rehabilitation rely heavily on sitting and standing practice. NICE's stroke rehabilitation guideline (NG236, updated in 2023) covers assessment and interventions for movement difficulties, and in the therapy room much of that work begins sitting on the edge of a plinth with feet flat and knees at about hip height. A 550 mm top gives most adults that position, so therapists can work on sitting balance, reaching and sit-to-stand without a patient's feet dangling.

Wheelchair users are the second group. A top close to the seat height of many wheelchairs lets a patient slide across on a board with help, provided the chair and couch line up. Measure the chairs in use, because seat heights vary with the cushion, and keep the transfer side of the couch clear.

Memory and dementia services use low furniture for different reasons. A patient who sits on the edge with both feet on the floor tends to feel secure, and a couch that contrasts with the floor stands out clearly. The six-setting backrest lets an anxious patient stay partly upright during an examination, which often helps them stay calm.

Sintang MT also markets the couch as a recovery couch, and after minor procedures it gives patients somewhere low to rest and sit up in stages before standing.

The limits are worth planning around. Staff will kneel or sit to work at this height, so a low stool helps, and a moving and handling assessment should cover the tasks carried out at the couch. The panel legs and low shelf are also likely to block a mobile hoist. If the room is being planned from scratch, Medigear.uk can arrange a site survey that covers hoist access and transfer space.

A top close to wheelchair seat height

At 550 mm, the surface lines up with the seat height of many wheelchairs so that board transfers can be near level and short.

Feet flat for balance work

Most adults can sit on the edge with feet flat and thighs roughly level, the position therapists use for sitting balance and sit-to-stand practice.

Six angles for rest and recovery

Six backrest stops, roughly 27° to 60°, let a recovering patient lie semi-reclined and come upright in steps before standing.

A long shelf for transfer aids

The full-length shelf keeps transfer boards, gait belts and wedges beside the couch, where therapists reach for them mid-session. Nothing has to be fetched from a storeroom while a patient waits on the edge.

Panel legs that stay put

Solid panel legs at each end give the frame a broad footing, so the couch stays where it is placed while a patient shuffles across.

A calm, low profile

A low, simple frame with a padded top suits memory services and anxious patients, who often feel steady sitting close to the floor.

Delivered flat, built quickly

Flat cartons fit through narrow doors and small lifts, and the couch is built on site.

Finishes chosen for contrast

Beech, oak or grey laminate lets a dementia service pick a combination that stands out clearly from its flooring.

550 mm low height

The top stands 550 mm (21.5 in) from the floor.

1830 mm length

The top runs 1830 mm (72 in) from end to end.

680 mm width

A single width of 680 mm (27 in) is listed.

Six-setting backrest

The backrest sets at approximately 27°, 36°, 43°, 50°, 55° and 60°; a separate flat setting is not listed.

Full-length shelf

One shelf runs low between the panel legs along the whole frame. Its load rating is not published.

Panel leg design

A laminate panel at each end carries the frame; the sheet calls the look sleek and the surfaces easy to clean.

Knock-down package

The couch is delivered in parts for assembly in the room.

Fast, easy assembly

The build is rated fast and easy, with no tool list or timing given.

Beech, oak or grey laminate

The laminate options are beech, oak, and grey.

Blue upholstery as photographed

Blue upholstery appears in the photographs; material and colour choices are not given.

Head-end paper roll holder

The photographs include a paper roll at the head end; the holder is an optional extra in the range literature.

Series-listed foam and edges

Firm 50 mm (2 in) foam, PVC edging that resists chips and rounded corners appear in the range literature; check they carry over to this build.

Series-listed load capacity

Range literature gives 181 kg (400 lb) in normal use; this low build needs its own figure.

LH low-height designation

The LH suffix marks the low-height build, matching the 550 mm top on the sheet.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

It suits stroke and neurological rehabilitation, wheelchair users who can transfer with help, dementia and memory services, and recovery after minor procedures. The 550 mm top brings the surface close to chair height so that many patients can sit on the edge with their feet flat on the floor. Sintang MT lists it among its kid and recovery couches, so it also fits children's rooms.

At 550 mm, most adults can sit on the edge with thighs roughly level and feet flat, the usual starting position for sit-to-stand practice and sitting balance work. The top also lands close to the seat height of many wheelchairs, making sideways transfers nearly level. Please check it against your patients' knee heights and chairs, as a top that suits one group may be too low for taller patients.

Many can, using a transfer board with the wheelchair braked alongside and the nearest armrest removed. How level the move is depends on the chair's seat height with its cushion, so measure the chairs your patients actually use. Follow your moving and handling policy, and keep the long side of the couch clear so staff can stand where they need to. Patients who cannot bear weight need a hoisted transfer, which raises the question below.

Probably not. The photographs show solid panel legs at each end and a shelf running low along the full length, which leaves little or no room for the legs of a mobile hoist to slide beneath. Ask Sintang MT for the clearance under the frame and compare it with your hoist's leg height, or plan a ceiling hoist or another couch for hoisted transfers.

It sets at approximately 27°, 36°, 43°, 50°, 55° or 60°. A patient recovering after a procedure can rest semi-reclined, then sit up in stages before standing. Also check that the backrest goes completely flat, and where its release is.

A full-length shelf suits transfer boards, gait belts, wedges and boxed supplies, keeping them next to the couch where therapists work. Infection prevention guidance for health and social care prefers clean linen in an enclosed store, off the floor, so keep towels and blankets elsewhere or bagged. There's no load rating for the shelf, so please find one out before storing heavy aids there.

This sheet doesn't list a load capacity. Range-wide, the Clinic-4 literature gives 181 kg (400 lb) under normal use; a low build may be rated differently, so get this model's own figure. Ask too whether it applies with the backrest raised and when a patient sits on the edge.

Blue is the only upholstery detail the photographs give; the sheet names no covering material, colour range or approved cleaning agents. For dementia services, pick an upholstery and laminate that contrast clearly with the floor, since people with dementia can struggle to judge surfaces that blend. The upholstery's fire rating, usually given against BS 7176, belongs on the same list.

The parts come in a knock-down package. Sintang MT describes the build as quick and simple, but no tool list or build time is provided. Ask for both, along with carton sizes for doorways and lifts. Medigear.uk can arrange delivery and installation, leaving the couch assembled in the room where it will be used.

A couch placed on the market for examination, treatment or recovery is normally a Class I medical device under the UK Medical Devices Regulations 2002, marked UKCA or CE with a declaration of conformity. Sintang MT should provide its classification, the declaration itself and, for an overseas maker, the name of its UK Responsible Person. The sheet doesn't mention warranty, so please ask what cover comes with the couch.
