Hospital Beds a In home Medical Support….

At Medical Department Store, we carry a wide selection of hospital beds, portable equipment, and many other products to suit almost any medical need. We often offer more than one type of product, as well. For example, we carry standard hospital beds as well as bariatric hospital beds. This blog will look at the profile of some of these hospital beds to give prospective buyers a better idea of what they will receive in their purchase.
Most people know what a standard hospital bed is like for patients in the normal weight range. However, there are times when a bariatric hospital bed becomes necessary, when the patient is obese or morbidly obese. We carry an Invacare Bariatric Hospital Bed line. You may wish to purchase one of these beds for in-home use, if a person is bed-ridden. The bed’s core is a heavy-duty full-electric bed frame designed for very heavy individuals, weighing up to 600 pounds. The bed frame even extends to the edges of the bed deck to provide the person with better support. A remote controller allows the patient or the caregiver the ability to change the levels of the bed, anywhere between the upright and the lying flat range, as well as the bed height from the ground. This is definitely a significant bed, but it is easy to set up and durable, made to last.
To give you an idea of the spectrum provided by Medical Department Store, via Invacare, another bed available is the low, full electric hospital bed. Low beds are beneficial for older patients, usually, or patients who have been physically injured, and falling out from a bed is a concern. Sometimes rails are not desirable or appropriate, so extra safety measure should be taken in order to compensate.
Along with our beds, you can find portable oxygen concentrators and portable ultrasounds, which may be necessary to complete your in-home medical set up.
