Structural design
Mattress base
The mattress base is divided into a backrest, a seat section, a thigh rest and a
lower leg rest. The mattress base height can be adjusted to a horizontal position,
and can be tilted into a Trendelenburg or anti-Trendelenburg position.
All adjustments are performed manually only and are assisted by gas springs.
Undercarriage
The undercarriage is located under the mattress base and its height can be
adjusted with a hydraulic foot pump. Overload protection reduces the risk of
damage to the bed when passing under architectural obstacles.
The Trendelenburg and anti-Trendelenburg positions can be adjusted smoothly
and continuously with the aid of a gas spring.
The bed has four castors that can be centrally locked. Optional: Central castor
locking with a steering lock for easy straight-line travel.
Side guards
The bed is equipped with integrated side guards to protect the patient from
accidentally falling out of bed. Optionally, the side guards can be omitted.
