Types of Electric Hospital Beds by Scantrik

designed to suit different medical needs and budgets. Common types include 2-function beds (backrest and leg elevation), 3-function beds (adds height adjustment), 4-function beds (includes Trendelenburg), and 5-function beds (adds reverse Trendelenburg and cardiac chair position). There are also full-electric beds, semi-electric beds, and ICU electric beds for critical care. In Nigeria, selection depends on intended use—general wards, private rooms, or home care. For instance, a 3-function electric bed is ideal for most home and ward applications, offering balance between price and functionality. Meanwhile, 5-function beds are more suited to high-dependency units or ICU environments. These bed types are manufactured using powder-coated steel, feature anti-rust components, and are designed to work with local power systems or backup electricity. Choosing the right type enhances care delivery while maintaining affordability for hospitals and families alike.
