Specialty Hospital Beds

Specialty Hospital Beds are specialized medical beds that adhere to the needs of particular patients, be they patient size, care conditions, or treatment requirements. These beds are designed with exacting specifications in mind, and because of this, each bed serves a very different purpose in a patient’s treatment.

What are Specialty Hospital Beds?

Specialty hospital beds provide the high level of comfort expected in other hospital beds while also adhering to the unique needs of the patient. Because each bed is hand tailored to the type of patient that uses it, this category can be notably expansive. Some examples of the beds seen in this category include pediatric beds, intensive care beds, and medical surgical beds (med-surg beds, for short). However, this category is not limited to beds, as many types of specialized stretchers are included, such as dialysis treatment stretchers. While each bed is different, they each provide comfort and support to fit the patient’s unique needs.

What is the advantage of using a Specialty Hospital Bed?

While standard hospital beds are effective in providing comfort to a large variety of patient needs, they are understandably unspecialized in serving particular requirements of patients. This is where specialty hospital beds fill in the gaps by serving as a bedding option for patients with specific needs that are not met by a standard hospital bed. Whether serving the role of hospital bedding for a pediatric patient or offering the essential bedding requirements of an intensive care patient, a specialty hospital bed fulfills the needs that are missing in other hospital beds.

How do I know if I need a Specialty Hospital Bed?

It is of critical importance to understand a patient’s specific needs when providing care. Every patient is unique, and one of the first questions to answer is whether the patient requires a specialty hospital bed for his/her care. Rehabmart is proud to offer a variety of high-quality specialty hospital beds from trusted manufacturers such as Nitrocare that serve essential roles in the treatment of unique patients.

Pediatric Patients

A pediatric patient is considered to be any patient under the age of 18. Pediatric beds are designed to accommodate the smaller size of young patients and account for child risks seen in larger beds. These specialized beds are not only smaller than the average hospital bed, but they also provide full side-railing support with limited space between bed rails to eliminate any risk of a pediatric patient rolling out of bed. Similar to standard hospital beds, pediatric beds also come with different options in movement ranging from manual push movement to motorized movement that allows for easier transport within rooms and through hallways. While some pediatric patients—particularly those in their mid- to late teens—would be perfectly suited to use a standard hospital bed, pediatric beds are essential for younger patients’ care and safety.

Intensive Care Patients

As the name implies, an intensive care patient is any patient in a severe or life-threatening condition that requires constant monitoring and care. Due to the critical status of these patients, specialty beds for intensive care patients provide specific means of enhancing healthcare. These beds are capable of motorized adjustment of patient positioning, allowing them the ability to quickly shift into critical examination and care formations such as Trendelenburg and CPR positioning. The versatility and quick adjustability of these beds makes them invaluable in the treatment of intensive care patients.

Hemodialysis Patients

Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease require regular dialysis treatments to substitute for the weakening or loss of kidney functionality. Dialysis treatments last roughly four hours and are typically performed three times a week. Because of the lengthy and frequent nature of this treatment, specialized stretchers for dialysis are intended to make the process more comfortable and time-efficient. These stretchers allow the adjustment of a patient’s positioning to prevent any uncomfortable muscle cramps during treatment. Joining this, the armrests and layout of the stretchers offer easier access to the dialysis puncture site. Similar to the pediatric beds, dialysis treatment stretchers are offered with manual or motorized movement options, depending on a patient’s preferences.
