What are the Features of the Patient Bed? The needs of a patient with a broken body and a paralyzed or bedridden patient are not the same. Naturally, the features of the beds to be used will not be the same. First of all, it is necessary to decide whether the bed should be stationary or should it move. It also facilitates the work of the person who will take care of the patient with its fixed and wheeled options. Another feature of the patient beds is that the height to the floor and the bed inclination are adjustable. Thus, the bed can be raised and lowered according to the patient's condition and the head position can be adjusted according to the need. Being foldable also provides convenience. Being able to adjust the head and foot part at the same time is important for the comfort of the patient and the comfort of the viewer. Some functional beds consist of several parts and each part has the ability to be adjusted in height. We hear from time to time that patients fall out of bed. One of the most important features to have is that there are handrails on both sides of the bed to prevent falling. Pressure sores occur in patients who are hospitalized for a long time. Patient beds try to minimize this problem with the materials used. In addition, the bearing surfaces are designed to be breathable. Thus, the comfort of the patient is provided better. Having serum insertion sections at the corners of the beds provides convenience in serum treatment. In motorized beds, when the electricity is cut off, the bed can be brought to the desired position with the help of the battery.
