Therapy table funding: The safety requirements for BGW funding

Whether in medical practices, physiotherapy, or wellness areas: height-adjustable tables are used in many places. However, this can also pose a significant safety risk. For this reason, the BGW provides a one-time funding to equip practices insured with the BGW with safe therapy tables. Eligible therapy tables have pinch or collision protection. Some tables are equipped with area monitoring. This ensures that no body parts are in the area of the adjustment mechanism. Otherwise, the table stops automatically. This prevents pinching and resulting injuries from crushing. Some of our tables have collision detection. This immediately stops the height adjustment as soon as a collision occurs. A protective device also prevents unintentional activation of the adjustment mechanism. Some of our products are already equipped with these requirements. Many tables are built with the latest technology: thus, they meet the current and future conditions for workplace safety and are eligible for funding. With us, you can save up to 750 euros when purchasing a BGW therapy table. Because you receive an additional bonus of 250 euros from us upon purchase.

Funding for therapy tables is also possible for our hydraulically or electrically height-adjustable therapy and treatment tables.

If you have purchased a table and want to apply for BGW funding, certain documents are necessary. These include:

  • The invoice for the newly purchased table or the therapy table that has received additional safety precautions.
  • A sample declaration for the eligible therapy tables. This must be filled out by the manufacturer. We are happy to assist you with this.
