Semi-Electric Vs Full-Electric Hospital Bed: Know the Differences

[Kaushal Kumar]

In the past, hospital beds did not have electricity and caregivers needed to manually crank the bed for the patient. However, nowadays most hospital beds connect to a power source and so the beds that you bring home for your loved one should be too. Adjustable beds are important as oftentimes there won’t be anyone who can change the position of the bed, and this allows you to do it yourself. An adjustable bed must have the right feature that allows patients and their loved ones to change the position of the bed and adjust its height so that they can get in and out of bed safely. Even the smallest adjustments become much easier when you use an adjustable bed.

Here are the differences between semi-electric and full-electric medical beds so that you can make the right choice.

Semi-electric vs Fully electric beds

While you may be able to tell the difference between a semi-electric and fully automatic hospital bed keep in mind that one uses only a power connection while the other includes a hand crank. Most semi-electric beds use a remote to adjust your head and feet while the height can be adjusted using a hand crank. With these beds, the patient will need to use a hand crank as compared to a fully electric hospital bed that can be controlled completely with a remote control.

Before you invest in an automatic hospital bed just keep in mind that a fully automatic one is the ideal choice as it allows you to easily change the position and height of the bed using only a remote control. Whereas a semi-electric bed can make it difficult for patients who have a lot of joint issues and are unable to walk around as they will need to use a hand crank. This means that your caregiver will need to frequently change the height of the bed throughout the day.

Fully electric adjustable beds in India are the most sophisticated beds on the market and while some of them use AC motors, others use a smaller and quieter motor that can easily move without making a sound. Depending on your needs, you can investigate beds that are comfortable, quieter, and can be adjusted without making any noise. This makes it very convenient for you to change the foot, height, or head adjustment without any hassle. These beds also lower the pressure on your back and shoulders and balance it out for a good night’s sleep.

Most electric beds now have advanced safety and security features along with lovely aesthetics so that you won’t be able to make out if you are using a hospital bed at home. This makes it highly comfortable, functional, and convenient for you.

In Conclusion

A Zero-G motorized hospital bed comes in a range of fully electric beds for patients that suffer from joint pains, have a greater risk of falling, or require care where the bed height needs to be repositioned time and again. This also includes knee elevation, a backrest, and more so that you can get the kind of comfort you require.
