no one
will care more about getting you the right hospital bed
Before You Buy An Electric Hospital Bed, we
discuss with you the following questions:
1. Are you really interested in an
Adjustable Bed
or a Hospital Bed?
2. How much do you weigh and how tall are you?
3. What size are you interested in?
4. What type of Mattress and Mattress Firmness are you interested
in?
5. Is the Optional 3rd Motor important to you (whole bed goes up
and down)? The 3-motor High-Low
Flex-A-Bed is
available in Twin, Full and Queen and Dual King Adjustable Beds.
6. Are you interested in Optional Side Rails or Trapeze-Bar?
7. What are your particular Needs, Concerns, Questions . . .?
If you
are disabled, we need to know:
-
What
are your general Health and Pain considerations?
-
Do
you need to transfer to a wheelchair?
-
Do
you have a Caregiver helping you in and out of Bed?
-
Are
side rails or half rails important?
-
Is a
trapeze bar a consideration?
-
Besides the 3rd motor that elevates the whole bed up and down, are
you aware that some hospital beds are available with
Trendellenburg, Reverse Trendellenburg and Cardio-Recline
Functions?
-
Do
you use a Patient Lift or Hoyer Lift that may also need to fit
underneath the bed?
-
Are
Bed Sores a Concern?
-
Is
it important that the Hospital Bed go to a very, LOW position?
STANDARD HOSPITAL BED
A
standard hospital bed has two motors where you can electrically
elevate your back and your legs to any position you desire (although
you are also given a manual crank up-and-down function); 2
Motor: Head Up and Down; Foot Up and Down. 36" x 80" Standard some
84".
A
standard hospital bed comes with your choice of vinyl covered
innerspring or foam Mattress. Most hospital bed manufactures also
have available a very fine, specialized selection of mattresses for
your individual needs. Since "half" your comfort will come from the
mattress you select, we must go over your preferences, needs, age,
weight and health problems to get you the best night's sleep
possible.
Half
Rails, Full Rails, Headboard & Footboard, Trapeze Bar, bottom fitted
sheets, Mattress (waterproof available) Pads, Bed Tray, Locking
Casters, Battery Back-up, Scales, Extra Support Mattress Edges, Low
and High-Profile Mattresses, . . are some of the options we go
over.
FULLY
ELECTRIC 3 MOTOR HOSPITAL BED
A
fully electric hospital bed has 3 motors that allows you to
electrically adjust the whole bed up and down; 3 Motor: Head Up and
Down; Foot Up and Down PLUS Whole Bed Goes Up and Down.
The third motor (fully electric) is helpful if you need to
transfer to a wheelchair (so the hospital bed can be at the same
level of the wheelchair.) Also it can assist a caregiver to get you
at the right height for the caregiver. If you are short, a low bed
is helpful to help you get into bed. A low bed can also be helpful
if you feel someone may ever fall out of bed. Low beds go as low as
7" to 9" without the mattress. 36" x 80" Standard some 84"
IF YOU
ARE DISABLED
Although all hospital beds elevate and bend the legs to help with
circulatory problems and low back pain, some doctors recommend
trendellenburg and Cardio-Chair reclining functions.
Trendellenberg slants the whole body flat with the feet up and the
back down; or reverse trendellenburg that does the opposite. Trendellenburg
also helps a caregiver and the patient themselves to self-boost and
re-adjust their body's position on the hospital bed.
Cardio-Chair Reclining features of theTransfer-Master
Sleeper Lounge
or
Tri-Flex help
maintain comfort, respiratory and circulatory functions.
Cardio-Chair reclining positions are also used in pain avoidance
positioning creating pressure relief that may also ultimately help
to prevent decubitus ulcers. If someone is disabled, Cardio-Chair
Reclining features are surely an added benefit.
BED
SORES
If Bed Sores (Stages I-IV) are a concern, there are many advanced
technology, special therapeutic support, alternating air and Lateral
Rotation Therapy mattresses available. We would recommend, for one,
the fine mattresses from
Blue Chip.
