Semi Electric Hospital Bed

Semi electric hospital bed

SAFEX INCs semi-electric hospital bed is a type of medical bed commonly used in healthcare settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. Unlike full-electric hospital beds, which have electric controls for adjusting both the head and foot sections as well as the height of the bed, semi-electric beds have electric controls for adjusting the head and foot sections only, while the height adjustment is done manually using a hand crank.

Here are some key features and characteristics of semi-electric hospital beds:

1. Electric head and foot controls: Semi-electric beds are equipped with electric motors that allow patients or caregivers to adjust the head and foot sections of the bed to various positions for comfort and medical needs. These controls are typically operated using a handheld remote.

2. Manual height adjustment: Unlike full-electric beds, which have electric height adjustment, the height adjustment on semi-electric beds is done manually using a hand crank located at the foot of the bed. This allows caregivers to raise or lower the bed to a suitable height for patient care tasks, such as transferring the patient to a wheelchair or assisting with bedside activities.

3. Side rails: Semi-electric hospital beds often come with side rails for patient safety, which can be raised or lowered as needed to prevent falls or provide support for the patient when changing positions.

4. Mattress platform: The mattress platform of a semi-electric bed is typically made of durable, easy-to-clean materials such as steel or aluminum. It provides a stable and supportive surface for the mattress and patient.

5. Mobility: Many semi-electric hospital beds are equipped with wheels for easy mobility, allowing caregivers to move the bed within the healthcare facility for cleaning, transport, or positioning within a room.

6. Battery backup: Some models of semi-electric beds may include a battery backup system to ensure that essential functions such as adjusting the head and foot sections remain operable in the event of a power outage.

Semi-electric hospital beds offer a balance between convenience and affordability, providing electric adjustment for the head and foot sections while retaining manual height adjustment for cost-effectiveness. They are commonly used in healthcare settings where frequent repositioning of patients is required but full-electric features may not be necessary for every patient or care scenario.
