The aurum bariatric bed is a hospital bed that has been designed specifically for size and strength. The width adjustment feature on this unique bariatric hospital bed means that it can be transported as a standard bed through the majority of hospital doors. It also means that it can accommodate wider patients by extending the mattress platform when in use. The mattress platform on the aurum bariatric bed can be adjusted with easy to use ’pull down’ levers located underneath the mattress platform on either side. The platform is fully profiling and powered by strong electric actuators which enables the bariatric bed to cope with loads of up to 413kg (65st). The headboard of the aurum bariatric bed can also be extended at a push of a button. This lessens the gap between the safety rails and the headboard to minimise the risk of entrapment. Of all the bariatric beds available, the aurum expandable bariatric hospital bed is one of the simplest to use and is available with integral weighing scales.
