ABSTRACT:
A handle system for a medical examination table includes a rail mounted to the side of the table, a guide member slidably connected to the rail, a stopper member releasably connected to the guide member and the rail, and a handlebar connected to the guide member. The position of the handlebar may be easily adjusted to meet the varying needs of patients in supporting movements onto or about the table. In a preferred embodiment, the handlebar pivots about the guide member to a stowed position below the top surface of the table. Also in a preferred embodiment the stopper member is configured with a handhold for one-handed release and sliding of the guide member relative to the rail. The present invention provides adjustability, simplicity, and the desired sturdy support.
