Three-function electric hospital beds typically offer the following motorized adjustments controlled by a remote:
- Head elevation: Raising and lowering the head section, allowing patients to sit up, eat, read, or improve breathing.
- Foot elevation: Raising and lowering the foot section, aiding in circulation, reducing swelling, and potentially preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
- Overall bed height adjustment: Raising and lowering the entire bed to a comfortable height for patient entry/exit and caregiver assistance, according to MedShop Direct, reducing caregiver strain.
- Remote control: Enables easy adjustment of the three functions with the push of a button, promoting patient independence and caregiver efficiency.
- Safety features: Robust side rails to prevent falls and provide support during transfers, along with lockable casters for stability.
- Ergonomic design: Designed to enhance comfort and support for the patient, per Amazon.in.
- Durable construction: Typically features a strong frame made of materials like mild steel (MS) with ABS plastic head and foot panels for longevity and easy cleaning.
- Mobility: Equipped with silent wheels with brakes for easy movement and secure positioning.
- Versatility: Suitable for diverse applications, including post-operative recovery, chronic illness management, and elder care.
