Manual hospital beds with non-slip handgrips combine mechanical functionality and safety. Operated by levers or cranks, they offer adjustable height, backrest, and leg positions, while the handgrips enhance user control.
Design and Function
Made with powder-coated steel or stainless steel frames, these beds support up to 500 lbs. Height adjusts from 15 to 30 inches, backrests incline to 85 degrees, and leg sections elevate to 45 degrees. Handgrips, crafted from rubber or silicone, have textured surfaces with 30–50% higher friction than standard ones, and their contoured shape fits the hand for comfort.
Safety Benefits
For patients, handgrips prevent falls during movement and enable self-assisted activities, reducing falls by 22% according to research. Caregivers also benefit, using them to secure holds during transfers and avoid back injuries.
Durability and Hygiene
The robust construction resists corrosion and impacts. Non-porous materials on handgrips and frames can be disinfected with hospital-grade cleaners, and their smooth design stops dirt accumulation.
Applications
These beds suit general wards for post-op patients, long-term care for the elderly, and rehabilitation centers for therapy practice. They meet standards like ISO 7905-1, ASTM F2896, and EN 60601-2-52, ensuring safety and quality in diverse healthcare settings.
