Arctic Turning Bed

Product Details

Developed to benefit clients with complex care needs, the Arctic Turning Bed is a fully profiling bed that also enables the user to turn themselves in bed.
One of the specialised functions of the Arctic is that it can turn whilst the person is sat up in bed, allowing an endless number of positional changes. All these possible positional changes are essential for providing the client with comfort and pressure relief as well as manual handling. The Arctic is fitted with the Auto box making it programmable, this allows the bed to be pre-set to perform positional changes at a desired frequency.

The Arctic’s height adjustable mechanism reduces the unnecessary strain on carers and contributes to a better quality of single handed care. The Arctic’s multi-positional and multi-functional bed system that can be bespoke for a client’s needs makes it suitable for people with a number of different conditions such as muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, tissue viability and cerebral palsy. The Arctic is able to address an individual’s specific needs and help reduce their pain and discomfort, alleviating some of the responsibility and work of the carers while also maintaining the client’s independence. To meet the varying tissue viability needs the Arctic is available with a choice of highly sophisticated pressure relieving mattresses.

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.
