Conventional motors

Often cheaper to buy, but more expensive to run.

• Shorter service life

  Not designed for continuous use, faster wear is likely.
• Louder in operation

  Higher noise levels, disruptive for therapy and patients.
• Lower force reserve

  Performance drops off under heavy load or frequent use.

The electric Riedi Comfort 4e therapy table extends the Comfort series with four segments and a three-part headrest, addressing physiotherapy, surgical, and orthopedic use with increased positioning needs compared with the smaller Comfort models. It forms the second-to-last link in the segment chain between the simple Comfort 2e and the five-segment Comfort 5e. The headrest can be raised and lowered via a gas spring and features a face opening with cover. Electric height adjustment ranges from 53 to 93 cm, operated via hand control of the electric motor; at 200 cm length, width is selectable from 65 to 85 cm, with a maximum load of 180 kg. The three-part headrest allows finer adjustment of head tilt than the one-piece headrests of the Comfort 2e and Comfort 3e. The central roller lift system is included as standard and does not need to be purchased separately. The three-part headrest and four segments make the Comfort 4e a refined choice for physiotherapy, surgical, and orthopedic treatments involving changing head and body positions, for example examinations that require precise head alignment. Practices with even higher positioning needs will find the natural progression in the five-segment Comfort 5e. A lock-out box compliant with the German Medical Devices Act (MPG) is included as standard: it disconnects the electric motor from the mains after adjustment, preventing unintended movement of the couch.
