Hospital Bed

Category of Service: Capped Rental

Hospital beds, as they are so commonly referred as; are not only used in hospitals, but are used in ACLF's and the home care settings as well. There are three distinct types of hospital beds; manual, semi-electric and full electric. Some major manufacturers of hospital beds include Sunrise Medical, Invacare and Drive Medical.

Hospital Bed Types
  • Manual Beds (Fixed Height)
    • Manual beds enable you to raise and lower the head of the bed, along with your knees through the use of a hand crank.
  • Manual Beds (Variable Height)
    • This is the same as the fixed height manual bed, only it has a hand crank to manually raise and lower the bed.
  • Semi-Electric Beds
    • This is the most common bed used in the home care setting. The head of the bed as well as the knees are raised and lowered with an electric hand-held control. The height of the bed is raised and lowered with the use of a manual hand crank.
  • Full-Electric Beds
    • This bed enables you to not only raise your head and knees with an electric hand-held control, but the height of the bed also.
