Sintang MT 0020

Treatment and examination couches carry the routine work of a clinic, and a version with compartmented storage is aimed at rooms where several categories of item need to be at the couch and distinguishable from one another. Typical use covers general examination, minor procedures, injections and dressings, phlebotomy, and consulting room assessment.

The organisational benefit shows most in rooms used by more than one clinician. Where a bay holds a known category of item, a colleague picking up the room mid-list finds what they need without opening cupboards, and stock levels are visible at a glance rather than discovered empty mid-procedure. That visibility is the practical argument for open compartments over a closed cupboard.

It is also the constraint. Visible means exposed, and exposed beneath a patient surface means the compartments suit equipment and consumables in active use rather than clean linen or sterile packs held for later. Services whose infection prevention policy specifies enclosed storage for clean and sterile items should check this configuration against it before ordering rather than after installation.

Cleaning deserves planning rather than assumption. A compartmented unit is a set of surfaces with corners, not a single panel, and cleaning it to a clinical standard takes longer. Where a room turns over quickly between patients, decide in advance what is wiped between every patient and what is cleaned on a scheduled basis.

The fixed working height sorts the applications as on any non-adjustable couch, and width selection follows the patient mix and how often clinicians reach across.

Items in known positions

Dividing the space means a clinician reaches for something rather than searching, which matters when a patient is on the couch and attention should stay with them.

Stock levels visible at a glance

Open compartments show what is running low without anyone opening a cupboard, which suits rooms shared between clinicians or used across a rota.

Two tiers for different item sizes

Upper compartments and a lower tier let smaller consumables and bulkier items be separated rather than stacked together.

Storage that costs no extra floor area

The unit occupies space already committed to the couch footprint, which matters in a consulting room where every square metre is spoken for.

A rigid all-steel structure

Steel throughout with a braced base gives a frame that resists movement under load, keeping the couch quiet and stable over years of use.

Mass carried low

Loading the storage keeps weight near the floor, which contributes to the overall stability of the assembly.

Two widths to choose from

Offering 690 and 760 mm lets the couch be matched to the patient mix and to whether clinicians routinely reach across.

UK supply and documentation through one route

Medigear.uk can arrange supply, delivery, documentation and assembly enquiries from Sintang MT across the United Kingdom, including the order code and conformity evidence worth settling before listing.

Grey laminate compartmented shelving

Divided open storage beneath the couch — request the core board, edge sealing on every exposed edge, and approved disinfectants.

Compartment dimensions

Not published — request the width, height and depth of each bay, how many there are, and whether dividers are fixed or removable.

Shelving load rating

Not published and separate from the couch capacity — request ratings for both the compartments and the lower tier.

Two-tier arrangement

Upper compartments over a lower tier, separating smaller consumables from bulkier items.

Fixed working height, 790 mm

The couch does not adjust in height — confirm it suits both clinician posture and patient access.

Two width options, 690 and 760 mm

A choice between patient surface and clinician reach across.

Length 1840 mm

Accommodates most adults lying flat; taller patients will extend beyond the end.

Rigid all-steel frame

Steel construction throughout, giving stiffness and durability under daily loading.

H-brace base

An H-shaped member tying the legs to resist racking.

Load capacity 227 kg

Published as 500 lb under normal use — ask whether static or including dynamic loading; a standard rather than bariatric rating.

Adjustable backrest

Shown in photography, absent from the written specification — confirm whether fitted, its range and how it locks.

Upholstery and fire classification

Neither is stated — request padding depth, foam density, covering material, approved disinfectants and the BS 7176 ignition classification.

Paper roll holder

Shown in photography, not in the written specification — confirm whether included.

Model number

Given as 0020, which reads as a catalogue index — confirm the working order code and whether it differs by width.

The Sintang MT H-Brace Steel Base Treatment Table with Shelving gives UK clinics a rigid all-steel treatment couch at 1840 mm long, in 690 or 760 mm widths, at a fixed 790 mm working height, with grey laminate compartmented storage over a lower tier and a published load capacity of 227 kg under normal use. It suits general examination, minor procedures, injections, dressings and phlebotomy in rooms where several categories of items need to be at the couch and distinguishable. The compartments are the reason to choose it and the thing to plan around: they put items in known positions and make stock levels visible, and they add vertical faces and internal corners that take longer to clean to a clinical standard. Six things need settling before order — the compartment dimensions; the shelving load rating; the laminate core and edge sealing; whether an adjustable backrest is fitted, since the photography and the specification disagree; the upholstery and BS 7176 classification; and the working order code.
