Economical Manual Hospital Beds for Basic Care

The manual hospital bed with sitting-up function enhances comfort and care for patients. It allows for changing body position during eating, reading, and conversations, which is vital for patients’ participation in social interactions. In Western cultures this feature of the bed is clinically nice, where a patient’s autonomy is valued, so they can be comfortable on their own. It also improves respiratory function by lowering the risk of aspiration and enhancing breathing for those with respiratory illnesses. In nursing homes around the world, the sitting-up function also allows caregivers to more easily assist patients with personal care such as grooming and dressing. It is an intermediate position that facilitates a wide array of patients’ diverse needs.
