Patient safety is always top of mind, and investing in innovative hospital beds is a simple way to point your healthcare facility in a safer, more patient-focused direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rotec\u2019s VersaTech Med-Surg, VersaTech Med-Surg XL, and VersaTech Bariatric beds give patients more dignity, independence, and comfort\u2014all of which culminate in a safer patient experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many patients, being restrained to a hospital bed isn\u2019t the most dignified experience. That\u2019s why Rotec designs our Med-Surg and Bariatric beds with the utmost respect for patient dignity in mind, with the goal of giving patients greater autonomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notably, Rotec\u2019s VersaTech beds boast the lowest height among competing hospital beds, with an adjustable deck that descends to just 8\u201d off the floor. That ultra-low profile allows patients greater autonomy to get out of bed without support from a caregiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The patient can sit up in a secure, stable position and plant their feet firmly on the ground before standing up. Doing so significantly reduces the risk of falls and fall-related injuries, paving the way for a clear path to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if the patient does suffer a fall, there is a significantly shorter distance to the ground. For Rotec\u2019s VersaTech Bariatric bed in particular, the ultra-low 8\u201d profile is a full 3\u20135 inches shorter than the next lowest competing bariatric bed without and with motorized drive assist, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That ultra-low 8\u201d profile remains even when adding the optional VersaDrive System. VersaDrive is the only motorized drive assist system that is controlled by the footboard, which allows the caregiver to make constant visual contact with the patient when in transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fall prevention is one of the top goals for any hospital unit, and no hospital bed is better equipped to reduce patient falls than VersaTech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empowering patients to exit the bed on their own isn\u2019t the only way Rotec\u2019s Med-Surg and Bariatric beds promote independence. Patients also have quick, easy access to a user-friendly hospital bed control panel integrated into their bed\u2019s side rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patients can quickly adjust their bed\u2019s comfort with auto-contour controls, or activate underbed lighting should they need to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. They can also easily call out to a nurse if they need assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greater independence doesn\u2019t mean that patients are left to fend for themselves. All Rotec beds are equipped with an integrated three-zone bed exit alarm that informs nurses when patients are attempting to exit the bed on their own. That way, caregivers can quickly step in to lend a helping hand when it\u2019s needed to prevent potential falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Rotec\u2019s VersaTech Med-Surg and Bariatric beds, patient independence and safety always go hand in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patient comfort is a key metric for any hospital\u2019s success, but it\u2019s not always easily measured. For hospital beds, comfort often boils down to flexibility: is the bed easily adjustable to fit the disparate needs of various patient populations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Rotec\u2019s VersaTech Med-Surg and Bariatric beds, the answer is a resounding yes. Our beds are designed with comfort in mind for every patient, regardless of the reason for their hospital stay. Rotec\u2019s VersaTech Med-Surg hospital beds are extendable in length, and come in various widths to suit patients of all sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the case of Rotec\u2019s VersaTech Bariatric bed, the deck width is completely adjustable to account for patients of various sizes up to 48\u201d wide. It also offers advanced comfort with its adjustable backrest and headrest, for 70 degrees of personalization. Together with the VersaTech Med-Surg XL bed and its wide frame, patients of size can rest easy knowing they have a hospital bed built with their comfort and safety in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every one of Rotec\u2019s VersaTech beds is built upon a top-quality steel frame to support some of the highest load capacities among hospital and bariatric beds. It\u2019s that innovation that gives patients the ultimate safety and peace of mind during their comfortable stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
