CONTOUR-MT Collapsible Side Rails Manual Bed

What are the primary functions of a three-function manual hospital bed like the CONTOUR RMC-SO171 series?

The CONTOUR three-function manual hospital bed is designed to provide essential positioning for patient comfort and clinical efficiency. It features three primary mechanical adjustments, including backrest elevation ranging from 0 to 75 degrees, legrest adjustment from 0 to 45 degrees, and a variable height adjustment that moves the bed platform between 470mm and 680mm. These adjustments allow caregivers to position patients optimally for respiratory relief, circulation, and ease of entry or exit from the bed.

How do the RMC-SO171A2 and RMC-SO171B2 manual hospital bed models differ in their braking systems?

The main distinction between the RMC-SO171A2 and RMC-SO171B2 models lies in their mobility and locking mechanisms. The RMC-SO171A2 is equipped with a central braking system that allows a caregiver to secure all four 125mm diameter castors simultaneously using a single pedal, which is ideal for fast-paced clinical environments. In contrast, the RMC-SO171B2 model features individual wheel brakes on each of the four 125mm castors, providing a traditional locking method for stability during patient transfers.

What materials are used in the construction of the CONTOUR manual hospital bed to ensure durability and hygiene?

The CONTOUR manual bed is constructed using premium cold-rolled steel for the bed platform, structure, and legs, which is then finished with an electrostatic powder coating to prevent corrosion and facilitate easy sterilization. The headboard and footboard are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), featuring a detachable "Smile face" design that is both impact-resistant and easy to clean. Additionally, the collapsible side rails are made from the same reinforced cold-rolled steel to ensure patient safety and long-term structural integrity.

How does the mechanical crank system work on the RMC-SO171 three-function medical bed?

The RMC-SO171 utilizes a manual mechanical crank system located at the foot of the bed to control its various functions. These cranks are designed with an integrated overload protection feature to prevent damage to the internal screw mechanism when the maximum adjustment limit is reached. For added safety and to save space, the screw handles are designed to be foldable, allowing them to be tucked neatly under the HDPE footboard when not in use, which prevents accidental hits by staff or visitors.

Can the CONTOUR RMC-SO171 hospital bed be customized for orthopedic or neonatal care?

Yes, the RMC-SO171 manual bed is designed with versatility in mind and offers optional features to support specialized medical departments. The four corners of the bed frame are equipped with integrated holes specifically for orthopedic traction frames, making it suitable for clinical orthopedic use. Furthermore, for maternity or postnatal wards, the bed can be fitted with a specially designed detachable bassinet that offers 360-degree visibility, allowing mothers and caregivers to monitor newborn babies conveniently from the bedside.
