Why choose a 3-function electric bed?

Choosing a hospital bed should not be taken lightly. A 3-function model (variable height, backrest, and leg rest) is the recommended standard to ensure patient comfort and prevent musculoskeletal disorders among caregivers. The variable height (often 530 to 780 mm) is crucial for facilitating transfers and daily care.

Aluminum side rails or independent ABS panels?

There are mainly two types of side protections. Aluminum rails are robust, classic, and offer excellent durability with simple maintenance. Independent ABS panels (usually 4) offer a more modern design, enhanced protection, and allow partial access to the patient without lowering the entire protection, which is ideal for intensive care or premium rooms.

The importance of accessories and structure

Always check that the structure is made of epoxy-treated steel to resist corrosion. Furthermore, a good bed should be equipped with covered casters with braking (preferably centralized) and an intuitive remote control. A backup battery is a real plus in case of a power outage, ensuring continuity of care.
