How to Understand Hospital Beds and How You Can Purchase One
For those that are in the market for buying a hospital bed for their household, this article will guide you into the different types of hospital beds and how you can go about purchasing one.
First off…
Why should you get a hospital bed?
For one, hospital beds offer features that your average bed doesn’t. For instance, it comes with built-in side rails for enhanced patient security, manual or electric levers that can raise the head and the lower end of the bed, a set of wheels that make the entire bed easy to transport from room to room, and other features.
This brings me to my next point,
How to choose a hospital bed
Now, in order to appreciate a hospital bed, you’ll have to understand the different models that are offered. To simplify things, here is a list of the current types of hospital beds that you can purchase:
- Manual hospital bed
- Semi electric hospital bed
- Full electric hospital bed
- Adjustable hospital bed
- Specialty hospital bed
All of these hospital beds have different features about them that cater to different needs. For instance, if you were to purchase an Invacare semi electric hospital bed – Invacare is one of the most well-known and trusted medical equipment manufacturers – you’d expect to see a hybrid between a full electric bed and a manual bed. It’s a cost-efficient alternative to a full electric bed and provides all the basics that a patient needs. Furthermore, semi electric hospital beds offer the patient the ability to adjust the head and foot of the bed, but the height still needs to adjusted manually by the caregiver.
When it comes time to decide which bed works best for your loved one, it’s vital that you consider the patient’s needs beforehand. This will give you a better feel for which type of bed fits him or her the most. Are they functionally incapable of caring for themselves? Can they move around with relative ease? Are they bedridden? Are they post-op patients? Do they fall into the category of bariatric? Ask yourself these questions, and you’ll slowly narrow down which bed suits you the most.
The Bottom Line
Shopping for medical equipment in general can be overwhelming for an individual that knows little about what would benefit the user the most. In addition, you’ll also have to consider the budget that you’re working with also. There are numerous factors that need to be planned accordingly in order to finalize your purchase.
My advice?
Take the necessary time to research everything there is to know about hospital beds. Match the features to the individual that’s using it. For example, a patient that spends much of their time in bed due to their lack of mobility could use either an Invacare semi electric bed or a full electric bed due to its ability to provide users with customized settings that they can conveniently control.
Don’t make a decision based on useless features that the user won’t even touch. It’s essentially going to be a waste of money and you’ll end up regretting your entire purchase. If it’s a simple hospital bed that you need without all the bells and whistles, consider looking into a manual bed. It still provides the necessary comfort and stability that a patient needs to thrive while simplifying it’s base features, making it an ideal purchase for someone that isn’t fully bedridden.
