Manual hospital beds with side rails are key medical devices, offering a cost-effective yet secure solution for patient care. They combine mechanical adjustability with safety features to meet diverse healthcare needs.
Ergonomic Mechanical Design
Operated by levers or cranks, these beds adjust in height (15–30 inches) to ease patient transfers and caregiver tasks. Backrests can incline up to 85 degrees, and leg sections elevate to 45 degrees, enhancing patient comfort and aiding medical procedures. The simple mechanical systems ensure durability and easy maintenance.
Side Rails for Enhanced Safety
Side rails, 12–24 inches tall, come in full, half, or split configurations. Quick-release or key locks secure them firmly, while padded, anti-bacterial surfaces prevent injuries and reduce entrapment risks. Rounded edges and smooth finishes eliminate snagging hazards.
Durability and Hygiene
Built with powder-coated steel or stainless steel frames, these beds support up to 500 lbs. Non-porous materials across the bed and rails resist corrosion and are easily disinfected. Removable side rail covers can be cleaned or replaced, minimizing cross-contamination.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for general hospital wards, long-term care facilities, and resource-limited clinics, these beds provide essential support. Their affordability makes them ideal for high-volume settings or areas without reliable electricity.
Regulatory Compliance
Meeting standards like ISO 7905-1, EN 60601-2-52, and FDA guidelines, these beds ensure safety and quality. With lower upfront costs and minimal maintenance needs, they offer long-term value while often incorporating recyclable materials for sustainability.
