The 5-Motor ICU Hospital Bed with Lateral Tilt offered by Upmedical is a high-tech medical bed developed to meet advanced intensive care needs. It is equipped with special functions to enhance comfort for patients who must remain bedridden for long periods and to facilitate the care process. Powered by five separate motors, this bed provides a comprehensive solution to the needs of both patients and healthcare personnel.
Advanced 5-Motor Movement System
Thanks to its mechanism operated by five separate motors, the hospital bed can precisely achieve a variety of positions:
Backrest movement: Allows the patient to switch to a sitting or semi-reclined position.
Footrest movement: Adjustable to support circulation and enhance comfort.
Height adjustment: The bed platform moves up and down to make it easier for the patient to get in and out of bed and to offer an ideal working height for healthcare personnel.
Trendelenburg / Reverse Trendelenburg: The head or foot end can be tilted downward to support blood circulation or respiration.
Lateral Tilt (Side turning): This feature enables the patient to be tilted to the right or left and plays a critical role in preventing pressure sores that can develop from prolonged lying. It also supports airway clearance and improves lung function through optimal positioning.
Advantages of Lateral Movement (Side Turning)
Thanks to the lateral movement feature, the patient can be tilted to the right or left without external assistance. This greatly facilitates regular repositioning of immobilized intensive care patients. It prevents the formation of pressure ulcers (decubitus), helps avoid fluid buildup in the lungs, and improves overall blood circulation. Additionally, it significantly reduces the physical burden on nurses.
CPR and Emergency Response Function
With the emergency (CPR) button on the bed, it can be quickly moved to a flat position with a single press. This saves valuable time in situations such as sudden cardiac or respiratory arrest requiring immediate intervention.
X-Ray Compatible Platform and Radiolucent Back Panel
With the optionally available X-ray translucent back platform, imaging can be performed without moving the patient from the bed. This feature is a major advantage, especially for patients who should not be moved.
Patient Safety and Side Rail System
The height-adjustable aluminum side rails prevent the patient from falling and can be easily lowered when needed. The bed’s head and foot panels are removable, allowing easier patient transfer.
Wheels and Central Brake System
The bed can be easily moved thanks to four 360-degree rotating wheels. The central brake system allows all wheels to be locked with a single pedal, ensuring full safety during use.
Hygiene and Ease of Cleaning
The surface of the bed is covered with liquid-resistant, antibacterial, and easy-to-clean materials. This minimizes the risk of infection and allows for quick cleaning. The electrostatically powder-coated body structure is also resistant to corrosion.
Areas of Use
The 5-Motor ICU Hospital Bed with Lateral Tilt is ideal for intensive care units, palliative care centers, post-operative care rooms, patients requiring respiratory support, and cases that require prolonged bed rest. It is preferred in both public hospitals and private healthcare institutions.
