Rotec takes pride in providing hospital beds that are in tune with the challenges of modern healthcare facilities. That\u2019s why the VersaTech line of beds thoughtfully adapts to the many caregiving scenarios and demands that arise in U.S. hospitals today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When purchasing a Rotec bed, hospitals and rental companies have three VersaTech bed options to choose from: VersaTech Bariatric; VersaTech Med-Surg XL 39″; and VersaTech Med-Surg 36″. Which one fits your facility best depends largely on the patient population you serve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The VersaTech Bariatric bed is designed to support individuals with the highest weight and size needs, up to 1,100 pounds (500 kg). It accommodates mattresses up to 48 inches wide and can extend in length from 80″ to 84″ to 88″, allowing it to adjust to both wider and taller patients. This adaptability, combined with its robust weight capacity and advanced features, makes it the most versatile option available for bariatric care environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The VersaTech Bariatric bed is ideal for patients of size who may be unsafe in a traditional hospital bed. The added space and support help reduce the risk of falls, pressure injuries, and physical strain on caregivers. It is typically the preferred choice for patients with a BMI of 40 or higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to its size and strength, the VersaTech Bariatric bed offers the lowest bed profile on the market. The ultra-low frame sits at just eight inches from the ground, for greater protection against patient falls. The VersaTech Bariatric bed further enhances safety and ease of use with features like three-zone bed exit alerts and industry-leading sturdiness.
To promote safer transfers, the VersaTech Bariatric bed can be equipped with the VersaDrive motorized drive assist system. The VersaDrive system automatically adapts to the caregiver\u2019s walking speed and intended direction, and features automatic braking for added patient safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Together, these capabilities offer greater safety and help maintain the comfort and dignity of high-BMI patients. The VersaTech Bariatric bed truly sets a new standard for bariatric care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The VersaTech Med-Surg XL 39\u201d carries the mantle for being the most versatile solution for hospitals in search of a bed that accommodates a variety of patient sizes and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past two decades, the percentage of adults considered obese in the US has risen from 30.5% to 41.9%.\u00b9 While the VersaTech Bariatric bed is still better suited for patients with a BMI of 40 or higher, VersaTech Med-Surg XL 39\u201d bed was designed in response to the increasing size of the average population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For patients who find standard-sized beds uncomfortable due to their frame or height, this bed has more space for added comfort. Its 39\u201d XL frame is a few inches wider than the typical med-surg bed, and its length can extend from 80\u2019\u2019 to 84\u2019\u2019 to 88\u2019\u2019 long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As with the VersaTech Bariatric bed, the VersaTech Med-Surg XL 39\u201d boasts the lowest profile among any hospital bed, just eight inches from the ground. It can also be optionally equipped with the VersaDrive motorized drive assist system for additional caregiver and patient safety during transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The versatility of the VersaTech Med-Surg XL 39\u201d also makes it an ideal solution for rental companies needing a bed that adapts to a variety of facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At 36\u201d wide, VersaTech Med-Surg 36″ fits most patients comfortably. Its frame extends to 36\u201d wide, and like every VersaTech bed, it features an ultra-low profile to prevent patient falls. It sits at just eight inches from the ground at its lowest height, empowering patients to stand up on their own without caregiver assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because this bed suits a broad range of patient types, it’s ideal for general med-surg units with patients undergoing short- or medium-term hospital stays. Its compact 36″ width also fits easily into standard room layouts and allows for efficient maneuvering in tight spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like the VersaTech Bariatric and VersaTech Med-Surg XL beds, the VersaTech Med-Surg 36\u201d bed offers adjustable positioning for comfort and optimal recovery that also helps reduce complications such as pressure injuries or respiratory issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We recommend this bed for patients under the weight maximum that still need extra assistance repositioning and avoiding falls. It\u2019s also designed with safety at the center, offering bed exit alarms and sturdy side rails, and its sleek design and quiet motor is well-suited to longer-term recovery settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rotec\u2019s VersaTech beds offer several key features that simply \u201crun in the family\u201d of Rotec patient care beds, meaning these features will be included regardless of which model you choose. These features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No two patients are alike. The intuitive and intentional design of the three VersaTech beds demonstrates our commitment to providing comfort and safety across varying patient populations. Using the right hospital bed for your care environment ensures the safety of patients and caregivers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best possible care starts with the best possible hospital bed. With three options to choose from, Rotec beds set a new standard for patient care and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
