Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare has launched its Solite Pro Ultra Low bed – a four-section electrical profiling bed that offers the manufacturer’s lowest minimum platform height to date at just 7.5cm.
As well as an ultra-low minimum height, the patented Dual Actuator System (DAS) allows the mattress platform to rise to 80.3cm to ensure that a carer’s posture is closer to neutral for the moving and handling of bed occupants.
The Solite Pro Ultra Low offers clinically advanced features while providing a comfortable and safe sleeping environment. Featuring an Auto Regressing backrest, the Ultra Low bed is designed to maximise occupant comfort. The backrest section of the profiling bed raises and regresses away from the pivot point based around the sacrum; the resulting increase in space in the sacral area promotes comfort and minimises shear and friction forces while supporting the reduction in torso compression
Designed with occupant safety and comfort in mind, this latest bed range is supported with a range of optional accessories. These include mesh safety side rails and a dedicated static mattress
Kerry High, director of international category management at Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd said: “We have developed the Solite Pro Ultra Low in response to increased market requirements for specialist ultra-low beds. The product design team have designed a patented DAS resulting in a bed platform able to meet both occupant and carer requirements. We are thrilled to add this bed to our community and long-term care product portfolio.”
