Interlude V3 Hospital Bed

The Interlude V3 is an electric hospital bed designed for acute and long-stay care. A stable compass elevation system, double auto-regression to reduce pressure and shear, and an X-ray transparent backrest support safer positioning and easier clinical care. Available through NHS Supply Chain and supplied and serviced by Innova.

Our Method

Stable, precise positioning for acute and long-stay care

The Interlude V3 is built for busy clinical environments where patient safety, comfort and carer efficiency all matter. Its compass elevation system, driven by IP66-rated linear actuators, keeps the bed stable through its full 40 to 80 cm height range, while double auto-regression reduces pressure and shear as the patient is repositioned.

An X-ray transparent backrest, pre-programmed positions and an advanced nursing control unit help staff deliver care without moving the patient unnecessarily.

The Interlude V3 is available through NHS Supply Chain (product code INNHSSCNCV3). Innova can also supply it alongside ceiling hoists, pressure care and hygiene equipment, so ward refurbishments and new care environments are coordinated through one specialist partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Interlude V3 is fully electric. Patients and carers can adjust height and position using the membrane controls built into the side rails, while staff have full control from the advanced nursing control unit at the foot end, where individual functions can also be locked. The compass elevation system uses linear actuators with IP66 protection for stable, reliable movement.

Yes. The bed uses a double auto-regression system, where the thorax and leg sections move in sync to reduce pressure in the pelvic area and minimise shear as the patient is repositioned. This helps lower the risk of pressure ulcers and improves comfort for long-stay patients.

The bed includes safety bumpers on all four corners, a central braking system operated by a stainless steel bar pedal, and polypropylene side rails with a grip zone and gas spring folding system so patients can sit up and exit the bed safely. Manual CPR release levers on both sides allow the backrest to be lowered quickly in an emergency.

The head and footboards remove with one hand using a simple quick-locking system. The high-pressure laminate (HPL) bed base is split into four sections that are easily removed and washed, helping maintain a hygienic clinical environment.

The Interlude V3 has a maximum patient weight of 205 kg and a safe working load of 265 kg. The bed itself weighs 140 kg unladen.

The bed measures 222 cm long including headboard and footboard, and 101 cm wide with rails. The bed base height adjusts from 40 cm to 80 cm (without mattress).

Yes. The mattress platform extends by up to 30 cm, so the bed can be adapted for taller users without changing the frame.

The backrest tilts up to 70 degrees and the bed offers Trendelenburg (13 degrees), reverse Trendelenburg (15 degrees) and a cardiac chair position. Pre-programmed positions make it quick for staff to move between common care positions.

Yes. The Interlude V3 has an X-ray transparent backrest, allowing imaging to be carried out without transferring the patient off the bed.

Yes. The Interlude V3 is available to order through NHS Supply Chain under product code INNHSSCNCV3, with a typical lead time of 20 days.

Yes. Innova can supply the Interlude V3 alongside ceiling hoists, pressure care, hygiene and specialist bathing equipment, so a ward refurbishment or new care environment is planned, delivered and serviced through one coordinated partner rather than multiple suppliers.

Yes. Innova provides servicing and maintenance support for the specialist equipment it supplies. Speak to our team about ongoing servicing for your beds and other care equipment.
