BRADSHAW LOW HEIGHT COMMUNITY BED

The Bradshaw Care Home bed offers multiple bed profiles and
positions to support effective resident care;
Featuring an Auto Regressing backrest, the Bradshaw is designed to
maximise resident comfort. The backrest section of the profiling bed
raises and regresses away from the pivot point of the thigh section;
increasing the space in the sacral area to promote comfort and
minimise shear and friction forces as migration in the bed, cumulative
movement and torso compression are reduced. SOURCE; Role

Auto contour function is a pre-programmed profiling position that
raises/lowers both the backrest and knee break simultaneously
to promote comfort and minimise migration in the bed. SOURCE;

Reverse Trendelenburg function (foot down position) places the body
on an incline with the head elevated up to 11°, profiling the patient to
maintain a socially interactive and comfortable position in the bed.
The Cardiac chair position additionally provides a comfortable seated
position for users nursed in bed, further promoting interaction and
comfort whilst undertaking activities, by utilising the auto contour and
foot down tilt in combination.
Trendelenburg positioning (head down tilt) is available using the
optional 10 button handset, allowing a tilt of 11° if prescribed for an
individual’s clinical needs.
Each bed comes as standard with an intuitive and easy-to-use 9
button handset. The lightweight handset can be locked-out to ensure
vulnerable patients’ safety.
