Solutions for Patient Lifting and Repositioning
Repositioning
Description: Electric powered height adjustable bed.
Hospital Bed Demonstration.
When to Use: For all activities involving resident care, transfer, and repositioning in bed, to reduce caregiver bending when interacting with a patient.
Points to Remember: Device should have easy-to-use controls located within easy reach of the caregiver. Some patients may be at risk of falling from the bed. Therefore, some beds may need to be lower to the floor to protect the patient. Beds raised and lowered with an electric motor are preferred over crank-adjust beds to allow a smoother movement for the patient and less physical exertion to the caregiver.
