Medicraft Hill-Rom Australia Pty. Ltd. supplies a range of hospital equipment and systems such as patient beds, pressure care products, stretchers as well as patient lifts. Their range of hospital beds includes specially designed ICU beds for use in intensive care units. ICU beds are available in three models and include TotalCare Connect, VersaCare TC and AvantGuard 1600 beds. TotalCare Connect ICU beds are designed to provide care-givers greater access to the patient and support various therapeutic procedures. ICU beds incorporate the 30-degree head of bed alarm system that alerts the medical staff when the head of the bed falls below the 30-degree angle.
ICU beds are designed with several features that increase safety for the patient as well as care-givers and also facilitate execution of several tasks with minimal medical staff members. Key advantages in these ICU patient beds include turn assist feature for superior patient handling, Opti-Rest comfort function to provide an alternating wave motion for patient comfort and full chair patient positioning mechanism to help patients sit up. This function is especially useful for immobile patients in ICUs. Therapy-on-demand modules offer a range of automated therapies to the patient at the touch of a button and include continuous lateral rotation therapy as well as percussion and vibration therapies. These therapeutic treatment procedures are useful for immobile patients to prevent pulmonary complications.
