Product Information

Some can be controlled independently by the person in bed, while others have an automated turning facility that carries out a turning cycle, for example every three to five minutes. Kings Fund beds are used mainly in hospitals although, on rare occasions, they are provided as nursing equipment in a domestic environment if space permits. Tapered edges will also slip underneath the patient easily, helping to minimise stress and effort level during the transfer.

Many of the solid discs use ball bearings in the swivel mechanism, which may result in fast turning that can be difficult to control. The TECHNE-CARE™ in bed system uses light weight, highly advanced textiles, to provide a comfortable lying surface for patients whilst also allowing carers to easily re-position the people needing in-bed care.Hospital beds are heavy and the risks of delivering and installing the bed will prohibit use in many situations.
