CLINICAL CONTEXT

Bed Selection Starts With the Care Environment

Start with the ward, patient-handling requirement and caregiver access. Then decide how much manual adjustment is actually needed.

START WITH THE ADJUSTMENT

Start With the Adjustment You Need

Different care environments need different levels of manual adjustment. Use the function type first, then compare the actual RIFE models. The full collection also includes fixed/basic, single-function and sharing/manual variants.

WHICH MANUAL BED SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Four questions narrow the choice quickly.

General ward, clinic, step-down or a genuine specialist application.

02

Which adjustments?

Backrest, legrest and whether manual height adjustment is required.

03

Is working height important?

If yes, compare three-function models with verified height adjustment.

04

Specialist requirements?

Confirm traction, side rails, IV provision, brake type and other supported options by model.

REAL PRODUCT DETAIL

Fold-Away Manual Crank

The verified PRODIGY-MS and PRODIGY-MT specifications state that the screw handle folds under the bed footboard when not in use. Product details such as side rails, brake system and accessory provision should still be checked against the exact model selected.

CATEGORY NAVIGATION

Manual or Electric?

Manual beds use mechanical adjustment. Electric beds use motorised adjustment. If powered positioning is required, move to the electric-bed category rather than over-specifying a manual bed.
