Single Crank Hospital Bed

 A Single Crank Hospital Bed is the most basic type of manually adjustable bed, featuring only one hand crank to raise and lower the head section. It provides essential backrest elevation for patient comfort, feeding, and respiratory support but lacks knee elevation and height adjustment. Its simplicity makes it durable and low-cost, but it poses significant risks: patients are prone to sliding down the bed, and caregivers face ergonomic hazards due to the fixed height and manual operation. It is suitable only for minimal-care settings where patient mobility and clinical needs are very low.
