How to buy a medical functional bed?

A medical bed is a modern solution for low mobility, debilitated patients in the postoperative period and for seriously ill patients. As a rule, it has a complex design of the bed, which can consist of two, three or four movable sections. Changing the position of these sections allows you to change the position of a person from horizontal, for example, to sitting or elevating the legs, etc.

Medical beds are:

1. Mechanically driven. The position of the sections is changed using special mechanisms or manually. Most medical beds have special "worm" mechanisms that move the sections of the bed by turning the mechanism handle clockwise. Only an assistant (assistant) can change the position of the section.

2. Motorized. The position of the sections is changed by means of electric motors. Most of these medical beds are equipped with a special control panel, which can be used by both the patient and the assistant. Using the remote control, you can change the position of any section and the height of the medical bed (if provided in the design). In power intensive care beds, as a rule, the section adjustment buttons are built into the body of the medical bed. The main advantage of a medical bed with an electric drive is that the patient himself can adjust his comfortable position in the medical bed without much effort.

3. With pneumatic drive. Such a medical bed is regulated by means of a pedal, pressing which with the foot, you can change the position of the sections .

By the number of sections, a medical bed can be:

- Single-section , the bed for patients has a continuous flat, unregulated bed. Compact, inexpensive bed without adjustments.

- Two-section functional bed - has a movable upper part of the bed, which allows you to raise the upper body, above the pelvis. The top section rises, typically to 80 degrees or less.

- Three-section - allows you to adjust the upper body when caring for the patient and bend the legs at the knees (up to 40 degrees on average).

- 4-section rehabilitation bed - has much in common with the 3-section medical bed, but for additional comfort, it has a fourth fixed section under the "fifth point" of the patient, which gives a more comfortable placement of the patient when changing the position of the bed.

Additional functions:

1. Vertical rise of the bed. Medical bed with height adjustment, allows you to change the height relative to the floor level. The function is convenient, for example, when getting into a wheelchair, when you can adjust the height of the bed to the level of the wheelchair seat.

2. Position of Trendelenburg and anti -Trendelenburg. Trendelenburg position is the position in which the patient is in the corresponding disease or operation, lying on his back at 45 degrees, when the pelvis is at a level above the head.

3. Cardio chair function. An additional function when the leg section can fall below the level of the bed, thereby allowing a person to be seated in a full-fledged chair without removing it from the bed.

4. Toilet function. In some models, there is a built-in sanitary device (toilet), which is very convenient for servicing a weakened person. A medical bed with a toilet helps to carry out manipulations without lifting a person from the bed.

5. Flip function. A medical bed with a turning function is a bed that allows you to simplify the lateral turning of the patient by movable side sections using special mechanisms.

What you need to pay attention to when buying beds:

1. The presence of side rails. In some medical beds, side rails are not included as standard. If it is important for you that the rehabilitation bed you choose has handrails, be sure to pay attention to this when buying!

2. Medical mattress underlay. Any medical bed should be equipped with a mattress. Most medical beds are sold without mattresses. A good mattress can cost up to 2,000 to 10,000 UAH, which can significantly increase the purchase price!
