Caring for bariatric patients is very much a growing necessary challenge for today’s healthcare providers. This is especially so in the hospital environment, where the increasing population of larger patients places considerable pressure on available resources. Our Interlude 500 Care Bed is a heavy-duty bed that has been designed to blend in with other beds used in the care environment to help preserve the patients sense of dignity while delivering the functionality required by caregivers to manage patients weighing up to 460kg.
Caring for bariatric patients often requires the help of additional staff to ensure care tasks are completed but without appropriate equipment this can place caregivers and patients at increased risk of injury. This is why the Interlude 500 bed can be lowered to just 21cms from the ground – enabling a much more comforting experience when transferring a patient.
