There are various types of hospital beds available in the market, mainly in 2 categories – manual hospital beds and motorised electric hospital beds.
With so many options to choose from, it is difficult to select the right hospital bed for the user without understanding:
Purchasing a suitable hospital bed not only benefits the user but also the caregiver. Read on to know how to identify the type of user and which hospital bed to select for each type of user.
Bedridden user’s position may be adjusted due to gravity or the movement of the hospital bed frame. Once their position has been adjusted, it will be difficult for the caregiver to shift them back into the position they are comfortable in without proper traction and grip.
Waterproof transfer sheet is a great hospital bed accessory to adjust the position of the user. The transfer sheet has 4 grip belts for caregiver(s) to hold on to for a more stable grip. The waterproof transfer sheet is waterproof, making it a good separation membrane between the user and the hospital bed to prevent any leaked fluids from coming in contact with the hospital bed.
Prolong contact of the skin of the user and the hospital bed prevents airflow on the surface. Suffocation of the skin may result in bed sores. If not well taken care of, the bed sores might worsen into infections spots.
Having an air mattress as the resting surface will prevent bed sore and increase the comfort level. When user shift on the mattress pressure point will be shifted. With a waterproof surface, stains on the mattress can be easily removed
