Decubitus Prophylaxis Position - electrically operated.
This automatic position has been pre programmed into the hand control for quick access. In this position the occupants legs are elevated and the backrest raised to a half Fowler position (30 degrees). This is recommended for taking pressure off the blood vessels, e.g. in conjunction with venous disorders, but can also be used for preventing bedsores. If necessary for medical reasons, shock positioning can be achieved from this posture by lowering the back rest.
Comfort Seat Position - electrically adjustable
This is is permanently programmed in the handset.
The "single retraction" facility creates space in bed. On moving the back rest to the upright position, the back rest is retracted by 11 cm reducing frictional and shearing forces and lowering contact pressure in the particularly bedsore-prone pelvic region.
