Hospital Beds
Hospital beds are designed for medical use in hospitals, nursing homes but also for residential hospitals. They are adjustable and can be used for a variety of purposes from elevating the head and legs to providing a comfortable recall position.
In addition, hospital beds are equipped with side rails to help prevent the patient from falling out of the bed.
Buying or renting a hospital bed is necessary when there is a person at home who cannot take care of himself. Since the patient is forced to be in bed for more than twelve hours a day, it is necessary to lie in a bed where he will feel comfortable and have the possibility to be placed in various positions.
The electric bed provides significant advantages for the patient:
- A high degree of self-service
The psychology of the patient is very important because of the big changes in his life such as the absence of self-care. So it’s important that he feels comfortable and that you can self-serve for basic things like the height he’s at.
- Easy care from the caregiver
The caregiver of a bedridden person has difficult conditions to manage the patient since bending and weight lifting are often unbearable. Grooming can be done easily and without risk with such a bed.
- Less risk of bedsore wounds
Wounds from lying down in a patient who does not move at all are a dangerous phenomenon that causes skin necrosis with what this implies for the physical integrity and ultimately the life of the person.
The combination of an electric bed with an air mattress guarantees that cauterization wounds will be avoided as much as possible and will not be life-threatening to the patient.
