Overbed table

An overbed table is a portable, adjustable table positioned beside a patient’s bed to create a stable surface for meals, reading, or writing while lying down. Its lightweight design and mobility allow caregivers to easily reposition it for comfort and accessibility, supporting activities of daily living without requiring the patient to sit up.

These devices are generally classified based on their structural integrity and mobility features, often falling under medical or mobility aids rather than surgical or diagnostic tools. They are commonly supplied as reusable, modular units with wheels for ease of movement, though some may include optional accessories like trays or side rails for added functionality.
