Some elderly people may be bedridden due to various illnesses. In order to take care of them more conveniently, family members will prepare nursing beds at home. When designing and developing the home nursing bed, we respect the patient’s condition to the greatest extent, and use the most comprehensive and considerate design to allow people who are bedridden and unable to take care of themselves to have the ability to realize basic self-care.
1. What is the difference between manual and electric nursing beds?
The biggest feature of the manual nursing bed is that it requires someone to accompany and help operate the care. The biggest feature of the electric nursing bed is that the patient can control it remotely without the help of others. The manual nursing bed is suitable for a patient’s short-term nursing needs and solves a difficult nursing problem in a short period of time. The electric nursing bed is suitable for people who are bedridden for a long time and have limited mobility. This not only greatly reduces the burden on caregivers, but more importantly, the electric nursing bed can be controlled and adjusted at any time according to their own needs, greatly improving the comfort and convenience of life. It also improves the patient’s confidence in life.
2. What are the functions of the nursing bed?
Generally, home nursing beds have the following functions. It does not mean that the more functions, the better. It mainly depends on the patient’s physical condition. If there are too few functions, the ideal nursing effect will not be achieved. If there are too many functions, some functions cannot be used. arrive.
1. Back lifting function
This function is the most important. On the one hand, it promotes blood circulation. On the other hand, the patient can sit up to eat and read. It can solve many problems. This is also a function that all nursing beds on the market have. The Corfu nursing bed can achieve 0~70° back lifting to meet daily nursing needs.
2. Leg lifting and lowering function
Basically, it can be lifted up or placed down on the legs. Up and down can promote blood circulation. Everyone has their own needs. Some nursing beds on the market only have an upward or downward function. The Corfu electric nursing bed can realize two functions of raising and lowering legs, which is suitable for daily patient leg activities.
3. Turn over function
Patients with paralysis, coma, partial trauma, etc. who are bedridden for a long time need to turn over frequently to prevent bedsores. Manual turning requires more than 1 to 2 people to complete. After turning over, the nursing staff can help the patient adjust the side sleeping position so that the patient can rest more comfortably. The Corfu electric nursing bed can be set to turn around 1°~50° at regular intervals to relieve localized long-term pressure.
4.Mobile functionality
This function is very practical, allowing the patient to sit up like a chair and push it around.
5. Urinary and defecation functions
When the electric bedpan is turned on, and the back and leg bending functions are used, the human body can sit and stand to urinate and defecate, making it convenient for the person being cared for to clean up afterward.
6. Hair and foot washing function
Remove the mattress at the head of the nursing bed for paralyzed patients and insert it into the special shampoo basin equipped with the nursing bed for paralyzed patients. With the back lifting function at a certain angle, the hair washing function can be realized. The bed end can be removed and combined with the wheelchair function, it can be more convenient for patients to wash their feet and massage.
7. Folding guardrail function
This function is mainly for the convenience of nursing. It is convenient for patients to get in and out of bed. It is recommended to choose a better guardrail, otherwise it will be stuck there and cannot go up or down, which will be even worse.
The home nursing beds on the market seem to be similar, but in fact they are not. Seemingly small differences in details can make a big difference in the actual nursing process.
When choosing a nursing bed, you don’t have to choose the best one, but you must choose the one that is most suitable for the elderly. For example, some families need to solve the problem of the elderly turning over, and some elderly people have incontinence. Choose a nursing bed that suits you based on its functions.
If your family situation allows, you can buy a remote-controlled electric nursing bed.
