Low Beds (Fall Prevention)
Description
For people 65-84 years old, falls are the second leading cause of injury-related death. For people 85 years and older, falls are the leading cause of injury-related death.
While preventing falls is not an easy task for anyone, utilizing low beds for elderly patients that are at risk of climbing or falling out of bed is one of the best methods available. Combined with the proper caregiver training, the right low bed and other safety products can help to accomplish your goal of fall prevention. SunMed Medical Systems offers both homecare and institutional styles of low beds to meet your patient’s needs.
Our low beds are fully electric, and lower to just 6 ¾ inches to the floor, but can be raised to 33 inches. Beds available to handle up to 500 pound patients. The side rail configurations help to prevent patient entanglement and entrapment as well.
