2024-06-14

An electric medical bed is a device used in medical institutions, hospitals or home care environments. It is usually composed of multiple components to provide patients with comfortable and convenient care. The following are common components of electric medical beds:


Bed Frame: The bed frame is the main structural support of an electric medical bed. It is usually made of metal (such as steel or aluminum alloy). It has strength and stability and supports the entire bed surface and other components.


Mattress Platform: The bed surface is the platform on which the patient lies. It is usually made of a solid metal grid or plate with a mattress placed on it. The bed surface can usually be adjusted in height and angle through an electric mechanical system.


Mattress: The mattress is a soft cushion placed on the bed surface, which provides patients with a comfortable lying experience and helps prevent bed sores and other skin problems. Mattresses usually choose different types and hardness materials according to the needs of patients and medical advice.


Electric Adjustment System: The electric medical bed is equipped with an electric adjustment system, which can adjust the height, angle, lying position, etc. of the bed through the control panel or remote control to meet the different care needs of patients.


Side Rails: The side rails are installed on both sides of the bed frame to prevent patients from accidentally sliding or falling off the bed, providing additional safety protection. The side rails of some electric medical beds can be folded or adjusted in height.


Control Panel: The control panel is located on the bed frame or side rails and is used to operate the electric adjustment system of the bed, including adjusting the height, angle and other functions of the bed.


Safety Brake System: Electric medical beds are usually equipped with a safety brake system to ensure that the bed remains stationary when necessary to prevent sliding or moving.


Castors: Castors are usually installed at the bottom of the bed frame to facilitate the position of the bed by nursing staff, and the castors of some electric medical beds can be locked to fix the position of the bed.


Optional Accessories: Some electric medical beds may be equipped with accessories such as hangers, backrest adjusters, infusion stands, side lift belts, etc. to provide more nursing functions and convenience.
