S 582 low-height bed Safe and efficient care for fall-prone patients

A bed designed to protect your fall-prone patients From listening attentively to our customers’ and healthcare providers’ feedback over a number of years, we understand that older and more dependent patients, as well as those who are distressed by their condition, run a considerably higher risk of falling whilst in hospital. The S 582 low-height bed has been designed specifically to offer patients maximum protection in order to reduce the risk of falls and their consequences, such as delayed rehabilitation, loss of autonomy, increased costs and, in some cases, litigation. Low height helps prevent...

Help eliminate patients’ fear of falling Complementary to the bed’s low height, ensuring patient protection and reducing the risk of falls, are the telescopic Assist side rails which bring an extra dimension of safety to patients. When raised to the first level at the head end, just above the mattress, not only do they help an independent patient get in and out of bed safely and comfortably, but also they outline the perimeter of the bed and restore the patient’s confidence. Secure patient access in and out of bed Another major advantage of such a low height is the ease by which patients can...

Easy and safe patient transportation Enhance manoeuvrability The S 582 low-height bed, unique in its innovative design which incorporates 125 mm double band castors, enables caregivers to manoeuvre the bed with optimum ease, in any space configuration. Minimise caregiver’s efforts The carefully studied combination of light weight and high stability reduce the efforts required during patient transportation and helps to prevent caregiver injuries. Given the frequency of in-bed patient transportations, in often busy and confined spaces, the key challenge, as expressed to us by hospital staff, was...

Promote safer patient mobilisation for faster rehabilitation Patient mobilisation is recognised today as being an essential part of care-giving and plays an active role in patient rehabilitation. The S 582 bed system includes advanced ergonomically designed features that promote patient mobility and provide greatly enhanced safety as the patient changes position. Maximum protection during mobilisation The versatile telescopic Assist side rails, when fully raised, provide maximum protection for the patient, whatever the position of the bed. They articulate in perfect harmony with the bed’s movements,...

Fostering patient autonomy Furthermore, the Assist side rails provide valuable and secure support to enable patients to push themselves up and to leave the bed from the side. The easy-to-grip Assist side rails allow patients to turn and reposition themselves safely in bed, without any feelings of restraint, thereby encouraging patient autonomy. Secure and “active” sitting The very low height of the bed enables patients to position their knees above the pelvis, thus creating a secure seated position at the edge of the bed, prior to bed egress. The bed design allows patients to place their feet...

Better sleeping and lying comfort favours faster recovery Your patients need good quality sleep to help promote general well-being to enable their optimal participation in mobilisation protocols and to avoid the physiological complications resulting from prolonged immobility. With this in mind, the Völker S 582 low-height bed has been designed for an improved patient sleep experience and lying comfort. Exclusive Völker Micro-stimulation-System (MiS®) The patented Völker Micro-stimulation System (MiS®) promotes patients’ independent movement through systematic somatic and vestibular stimulation....
