Product Description:

Hospital beds are adjustable medical beds for patients who spend long periods in bed, and for the staff who care for them. Manual beds use hand cranks to change height and the angle of the back and knee sections. Electric beds use motors run from a handset or a panel on the rails or footboard, so staff and patients can reposition without lifting, often with battery backup. Manual beds need no power and suit sites with unreliable electricity; electric beds save staff effort in busy wards and intensive care.

The right bed depends on the setting: general ward, intensive care, maternity, long-term or home care. Useful points to compare include safe working load, platform height range, the number of mattress sections, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg positions, a quick-release CPR backrest, castor brakes and a radiolucent back section for bedside X-rays. Side rails and mattress must fit together to limit gaps where a patient could become trapped. Surfaces should tolerate hospital disinfectants, and handsets need a suitable ingress protection rating.

Sourcing notes. Hospital beds are regulated as medical devices. Ask for the manufacturer's ISO 13485 certificate and test reports against IEC 60601-2-52, the standard for medical beds, plus IEC 60601-1 electrical safety and EMC reports for electric models. For the EU or UK, check CE or UKCA marking; in the US, manual adjustable beds are Class I and powered adjustable beds Class II devices. Specify bed type, sections, height range, load, mattress size, rails, voltage and plug. Confirm spare parts, service manuals and warranty.
