NewLeaf's bariatric hospital beds are extremely durable, with full-electric adjustable features that maximize comfort and reduce the chance of caregiver injuries that can occur with patient transfers, turning and repositioning, bathing and more.
When placing a bariatric bed in a room, remember to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of space around the bed to accomplish whatever clinical or nursing tasks may arise. Generally, a clearance of five feet on each side as well as at the foot of the bariatric bed would allow enough room for any task that may need to be completed. Electrically operated beds provide a very comfortable sleeping position.
To manage the user's circulatory and respiratory problems and ensure pressure relief, the bariatric bed should be matched with a Bariatric Deluxe High Density Foam Mattress or Bariatric Alternating Pressure Mattress. This will ensure that the user's circulation and pressure management needs are being met to reduce the chances of developing skin breakdown and pressure ulcers.
