Introduction: The Role of Electric Beds in Modern Healthcare
Patient care today requires more than basic functionality—it requires comfort, safety, and advanced technology. While manual beds served healthcare institutions for decades, the shift towards electric hospital beds has transformed the way patients are treated and caregivers work.
With remote-controlled motorized systems, electric beds make it possible to adjust head, leg, height, and even advanced Trendelenburg positions effortlessly. This not only improves the patient’s recovery process but also reduces the physical strain on healthcare workers.
