More Details

The Transbed when used in conjunction with the PTS (positioning and transfer system) assists a single caregiver to transfer a patient with limited mobility. The Barton I-660 chair fully integrates with the Transbed.

Frame
The bed is constructed of powder coated metal. It accommodates weights up to 450kg. It is available in one size only, but the bed frame is expandable in width and length. It fits through standard hospital doorways and fits mattresses from 990mm to 1220mm wide. The in built digital scale allows the patient to be weighed in bed. The bed features accessory sockets - one IV socket and two square sockets at each corner. The trapeze allows patients to reposition themselves but swings away when not required.

Headboard / Footboard
The headboard and footboard are solid polypropylene and feature in built hand grips and are designed to fully integrate with the Barton PTS.

Adjustments and Controls
The bed features five function linear actuators which operate smoothly and allow adjustments to a variety of positions. The backrest elevation, leg raise, height adjustment, trendelenburg and reverse trendelenburg positioning functions are controlled by an 8 button, 5 function handset. There is a small picture depicting the bed position for each button

Castors
The Transbed has four castors - at the foot end they are the individual lockable type and at the head end they are steering control, lockable castors.

Bed Rails
The side rails at the head end are made of stainless steel, have three positions and drop down. At the foot end, the side egress bars are fitted to both sides of the bed. They adjust vertically and also swing out at right angles to the bed to aid transfer.

Power Source
Mains

Motor
The motor is silent and is housed under the foot end of the bed. The motor has battery back up, which automatically recharges when the bed is connected to the mains.

Compatibility
The Barton B -1000 Transbed integrates with the Positioning and Transfer System (PTS) and the I-660 Barton Chair which allows a single caregiver to transfer a dependent patient more safely than would otherwise be possible.
The headboard and footboard of the Transbed is designed to allow access for the PTS.

Note:
- legrest raise: leg section of bed elevates and bends at knee area and the foot end of the bed remains elevated parallel to the bed frame
- Knee break: leg section of bed elevates and bends at knee area so the legs below the knee are angled downwards (triangular configuration)
- Trendelenburg Tilt: allows the entire bed to tilt so a person's feet can be higher than their head. Reverse Trendelenburg tilts the bed in the opposite direction.
