Arctic Turning Bed

Product Details

The Arctic Turning Bed is a fully profiling bed developed for clients with complex care needs and for enabling more independence.

The unique function of the Arctic is that it can turn whilst the person is sat up in bed, allowing an infinite amount of positional changes, essential for pressure relief, comfort and manual handling. The Arctic is also programmable, with the fitting of the Autobox, the bed can be pre-set to perform positional changes at a desired frequency. The Arctic is also height adjustable reducing unnecessary strain on carers and contributes to a better quality of single-handed care.

This variety of potential functions the Arctic has along with what is essentially a hands free nature of programming make the bed suitable for people with a number of complex needs such as muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, tissue viability and cerebral palsy. The Arctic is able to address an individual’s specific condition, help reduce their pain and discomfort while maintaining the person’s independence and alleviating some of the responsibility and work required by the carers. To meet the varying tissue viability needs, the Arctic is available with a choice of highly sophisticated pressure relieving mattresses. Through facilitating an increase in a person’s mobility, this turning bed can reduce and prevent pressure sores and ulcers.

As with all Centrobed products, the Arctic is compatible with most environmental control systems. Centrobed’s beds are made with ergonomics at the forefront and can be designed to fit the individual person, from paediatric to bariatric, or excessively tall, the beds can be made bespoke with a safe working load of over 60 stones (381Kg). The Arctic is suitable in several environments; this turning bed can facilitate independent care at home or be used to reduce the cost of care at a community hospital.

The turning function can be stopped at any position up to 55 degrees, where it will stop automatically. It is also possible to turn the person onto their side if they prefer to lie that way. In the current economic climate, people are regularly trying to find various methods to reduce costs and in hospitals there is a reduced or single handed care. This makes the Arctic turning bed an essential, cost-saving piece of equipment by not only reducing the amount of carers required to reposition a client but, in many cases the client is given the freedom to reposition themselves without having to rely on others.
