Description

Key features of an Orthopaedic Hospital Bed may include:

1. Adjustable Positions: The bed is typically equipped with multiple adjustable positions to accommodate various needs. It may have electric controls that enable patients or caregivers to adjust the height, headrest, leg elevation, and sometimes even Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg positions.
2. Pressure-Relieving Mattress: An important aspect of orthopedic care is the use of pressure-relieving mattresses. These mattresses are designed to reduce pressure on specific body parts, such as the hips, shoulders, and heels, which helps prevent pressure sores and provides added comfort during extended periods of bed rest.
3. Bed Rails: Many orthopedic hospital beds come with bed rails, providing support and stability for patients when getting in and out of bed and preventing accidental falls during sleep.
4. Under-Bed Clearance: The bed may have a significant under-bed clearance, allowing clearance for patient lifts and other medical equipment to easily access the patient when needed.
5. Sturdy Construction: Orthopedic hospital beds are built with a robust and durable frame to support patients of varying weights and to withstand the rigors of medical use.
6. Traction System Compatibility: Some beds may be equipped with traction system compatibility, allowing for the application of orthopedic traction to aid in the treatment of certain conditions.
7. Mobility and Locking: The bed may have locking casters for easy mobility and safe positioning during patient care and transfer.
8. Comfortable Surface: The bed’s surface is designed to provide comfort to patients, even during extended periods of use.
9. Ease of Cleaning: Orthopedic hospital beds are typically constructed with materials that are easy to clean and maintain high hygiene standards.
10. Patient Safety Features: Special attention is given to patient safety, such as ensuring there are no sharp edges and providing quick-release mechanisms for emergencies.
