A standard care bed (is this now no. 1 or no. 2 from question no. 1) looks as follows:
1st frame
A robust metal or wooden frame that ensures stability.
2. height adjustability
The height of the bed can be adjusted electrically or manually to make it easier to get in and out of bed and to facilitate care.
3. adjustable lying surfaces
Several sections of the lying surface are adjustable, especially the back and leg area, to allow different reclining positions.
4. side rails
Removable or retractable side rails offer protection against falling out and additional safety.
5. castors with brakes
Four castors that allow easy movement of the bed, with each castor fitted with a brake to securely lock the bed in place.
6. mattress holder
Devices at the ends of the lying surface that hold the mattress in position.
A standard care bed fulfils basic requirements for comfort and safety, facilitates care and improves the patient's mobility.
