The bed is appropriate for situations where assistance
is required in positioning the patient, or in reducing
lifting and manual handling stresses on the carer.
The profiling mattress platform allows the patient to be
supported in an upright sitting position. The enhanced
support this provides helps to reduce shear and
interface pressure on the patient.
The head down Tilt option can be used to increase
blood flow. The bed cannot be used in applications that
need the patient to be put in the Trendelenburg
position. The Maximum tilt angle of the Minuet bed
frame is 10 .
Foot down tilt option can be used to improve patient
comfort.
The variable height feature allows the bed to be raised
to provide easy access to the patient for the carer. The
bed can then be lowered to make it easier for the
patient to get into or out of the bed.
