Choosing exam room furniture is a long-term decision, and Brewer is a name many practices turn to for exam and treatment tables plus matching clinical seating. This guide helps clinic managers, purchasing teams, and providers weigh the options so the room fits your specialty and your patient flow.
1. Start with your specialty and patient flow
Before comparing models, map how the room is actually used. A high-volume primary care office, a women's health suite, and a physical therapy clinic each ask different things of a table.
- Patient population: consider mobility, transfers, and whether patients need to sit, recline, or lie flat.
- Exam type: routine wellness visits, procedures, or specialty exams change the features you need.
- Room turnover: busy rooms benefit from surfaces and mechanisms that are quick to clean and reposition between patients.
2. Choose your table type
Brewer's lineup generally spans several table families, and the right one depends on how much positioning and accessibility you need.
- Fixed-height exam tables are a dependable, budget-friendly choice for general exams where the tabletop stays at a set height.
- Power (high-low) tables raise and lower electrically, which supports easier transfers and a wider range of patients.
- Specialty and treatment tables add positioning for procedures, therapy, or specific disciplines.
Check the product listing for the specific configurations, motions, and options on each model.
3. Weigh the features that matter
Beyond the base table, features drive daily usability. Prioritize the ones your staff will touch every visit.
- Storage drawers and cabinets keep supplies within reach and reduce steps during a visit.
- Electrical outlets and device support can power instruments or charge equipment at the point of care.
- Stirrups and pelvic positioning matter for women's health and certain exams.
- Warmers, paper roll holders, and treatment accessories round out the workflow.
4. Upholstery and cleanability
Upholstery is where comfort meets infection control. Look for durable, seamless, wipeable surfaces that hold up to frequent disinfection, and confirm color options so the table fits your room design. Check the listing or ask us which cleaning agents are compatible with a given upholstery so you protect both the surface and your cleaning protocol.
5. Accessibility and low-height options
Accessibility is increasingly central to exam room planning. Low-height and power tables can make transfers safer for patients who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility, and they help staff avoid strain. Requirements vary by facility type and jurisdiction, so verify current ADA/federal/state requirements before you finalize a configuration, and use the product listing or our team to confirm a table's low height and adjustment range.
6. Match seating and stools to the room
Clinical seating is easy to overlook, but the right stool protects provider ergonomics through a long day.
- Provider stools with smooth height adjustment and easy-roll casters keep clinicians comfortable and mobile.
- Backrest options add support during longer procedures.
- Cleanable upholstery should match your tables for a consistent, hygienic look.
- Foot rings and tilt features help during detailed work.
Coordinating seating with your tables keeps the room cohesive and comfortable for staff and patients alike.
