In any medical environment, public or private, it is important to guarantee the right comfort for the patient and to ensure that healthcare personnel can operate in the easiest and safest way possible.
This is why it becomes really important to choose adequate medical beds and chairs,according to your operational needs.
Let's discover the various existing types of this medical device.
What are medical beds and what are they for
The bed is a piece of furniture that can be found in a professional medical practice, in a physiotherapy clinic,but also in a beauty centre.It is used to make patients (or clients) lie down and assume the right position during a visit, an operation, a therapy or massage session.
Comfort and practicality are fundamental characteristics for a medical or beauty office bed.
There are different types,depending on their function and the type of visit or treatment for which they are used.
Over the years, increasingly technological models of medical beds have been produced, capable of responding even to complex needs, equipped with mechanisms that allow different types of adjustment,complete with tools functional to the type of intervention required.
These are not just beds, but also armchairs, very useful for example for dental or gynecological operations,or chairs to be used during blood sampling.
All medical beds are considered class 1 medical devices and, where compliant with the requirements of EEC directive 93/42,allow those who purchase them to benefit from a tax deduction of 19%.
Couches for medical examinations
The beds for medical examinations are the most commonly requested and widespread ones.
These are sunbeds with an adjustable backrest, usually up to 45°.They have a supporting structure and a mattress usually made of foam with a covering in imitation leather or other plastic material, however easily washable and flame resistant.
These beds are found in the offices of general practitioners or paediatricians;they are suitable for making the patient lie down and carrying out the first visits, for example to measure blood pressure or listen to the heartbeat.
Usually medical beds are made of steel, but there are much more valuable models in aluminum or, for environments where you also want to pay attention to design,in wood.
Another very important element to take into consideration for medical beds is the capacity: it is necessary to have in mind what the target of patients who will have to use this medical device will be.
If there will be mainly children you can opt for a simpler and lighter cot.However, where there is a need for use for obese patients the structure must be decidedly more resistant.
Maximum comfort is important, but also stability of the patient.
Physiotherapy beds,osteopathy and other professional treatments
Slightly more sophisticated are the beds for physiotherapy, osteopathy and other professional treatments such as massages.
In terms of structure and materials these can be completely similar to standard medical beds,with metal or wooden frame and a sponge mattress covered with fireproof and easily washable material.
Unlike examination tables, however, this type of device is usually equipped with a headrest, side armrests, hanging arm support,and above all a hole at the height of the backrest for the face, ideal when the treatment is carried out on a patient in a prone position.
They are often also equipped with a roll holder suitable for holding a disposable medical sheet,for easy replacement between one patient and another.
They are ideal beds for medical treatments, such as physiotherapy and osteopathy,but also for other types of operations such as massages or beauty treatments.
Electric and hydraulic beds
Recently, various types of electric and hydraulic beds.
have established themselves on the marketThe fundamental characteristic of this type of device is the possibility ofadjust some parameters, such as the height of the bed or the inclination of the backrest, using a device,making the patient's position more suited to the type of operation or visit to which he or she must undergo.
In medical electric beds, electricity and a series of mechanical devices that can be operated via a remote control are used.They are suitable for studies that clearly have a power connection, and guarantee great precision and stability.
In hydraulic beds, however, the lifting mechanism works through hydraulic (or gas) pumps adjustable with a lever operated by hand or with a foot,the same elevation mechanism with which most office chairs are made.
Their advantage is that they can be easily moved from one medical environment to another without having to disconnect them from the power socket.
Portable and foldable beds
It is often necessarythat the cot is transportable.This is the case of those who carry out their activity at the patients' homes, such as masseuses, physiotherapists and beauticians.
For this type of need, the portable and foldable cots are practical,can be installed in a few simple steps: they can always be carried with you by the professional and be immediately ready for use.
These sunbeds can also be folded into convenient cases, in which a whole series of accessories can also be transported,to ensure the best ease of use.
