There is a significant increase in the number of bariatric admissions to healthcare facilities in the United States. This has led to a challenging time for healthcare providers and facilities that are trying hard to provide much needed care to bariatric patients that is effective, dignified and safe for both the patient and the care provider. Hence, while designing new hospitals and retrofitting the existing ones, care is taken to ensure that bariatric patients are accommodated. The facilities that the bariatric patient room market offers are designated bariatric rooms with adjoining bariatric toilet rooms, non-corridor doors, operating tables with 600 pounds weight limits, CT scanners with a bariatric tables and special 600 and 1000 pounds patient lifts in the ICU.

However, while designing healthcare facilities for bariatric patients, this measurement increases to 1000 pounds. So with the awareness about Bariatric patient room design increasing, there is a lot of scope for a boom in the bariatric patient room market.
