Hill-Rom VersaCare Hospital Bed

Yes, the Hill-Rom VersaCare is designed for versatility and includes the FlexAFoot system, which allows the bed length to extend by up to 12 inches. This feature ensures that taller patients can be comfortably accommodated, helping to prevent sliding and maintaining proper positioning.

Key specifications related to sizing:

• Total Adjustable Length: The bed frame extends from 82.5 inches (retracted) to 94.5 inches (fully extended).
• Sleep Surface: Provides a spacious 84” x 35.5” area for patient comfort.
• Weight Capacity: The bed maintains a robust 500 lb weight capacity, regardless of the extension setting.

Yes, the Hill-Rom VersaCare bed is a versatile healing system that can be configured with specialized therapy surfaces, which are crucial for advanced pressure management and maintaining skin integrity. These options are ideal for mid- to high-acuity patients.

Beyond the standard 6” Hospital-Grade Memory Foam Mattress, you can select from two advanced therapeutic surfaces:

1. P500 Therapy Surface
This comprehensive option focuses on multi-layered skin health:

• Manages shear, friction, and pressure for superior patient comfort.
• Utilizes Microclimate technology to actively control heat and moisture.
• Includes an integrated X-Ray Cassette Sleeve to facilitate bedside imaging.
• This surface supports a maximum patient weight of 500 lb.

2. VersaCare A.I.R. Therapy Surface
This is a powered air surface designed for dynamic support and pressure ulcer prevention:

• Features three independent air zones that continuously adjust pressure based on patient weight and articulation.
• Aids in patient repositioning with one-button turn assist and a max inflate feature.

Yes, the Hill-Rom VersaCare Hospital Bed can be adjusted to a low position height of 18 inches. This feature is crucial for patient safety, as it minimizes the risk of falls when patients are getting in and out of bed or if they happen to roll off the bed. It also facilitates easier patient transfers and enhances overall peace of mind for both patients and caregivers.

Yes, the Hill-Rom VersaCare Hospital Bed is engineered to promote patient independence through its side rail design.

Key benefits of the side rails include:

• Integrated Patient Controls: Essential patient controls are built directly into the side rails, making them easy to reach for independent adjustment of the bed’s position.
• Secure Support: The rails feature an ergonomic design that provides secure support, which is critical for helping patients safely reposition themselves, and assist with entering or exiting the bed.

The Hill-Rom VersaCare Hospital Bed incorporates several sophisticated features designed to enhance patient safety and minimize falls:

• Optional 3-Level Bed Exit Alarm: This advanced system provides granular patient monitoring. It detects patient position—lying, sitting on the edge, or being completely out of bed—allowing caregivers to intervene quickly. Note: This alarm system is an optional feature/configuration.
• Low Position Height: The bed can achieve a remarkably low height of just 18 inches from the floor, significantly reducing potential injury risk during transfers or unassisted exits.
• LowChair Function: This feature facilitates safer transfers by allowing the patient to sit fully upright while the bed base remains in the low, stable position.
• FlexAFoot Extension: This integrated foot platform extends the bed length up to 12 inches (extending the surface length up to 86 inches) to comfortably accommodate taller individuals and help prevent patient migration (sliding) toward the foot of the bed.

The FlexAFoot system is a specialized extension feature designed to provide a more tailored and secure fit for patients of varying heights. By allowing for a 12-inch extension of the sleep surface, it significantly enhances patient positioning and safety:

• Prevents Sliding: Properly sizing the bed to the patient helps maintain a stable position, preventing the patient from sliding down toward the foot of the bed.
• Accommodates Height: The adjustability ensures that taller patients have adequate surface length for comfortable resting, with an overall bed length that can extend up to 94.5 inches.
• Improved Support: By customizing the frame length to the patient’s size, the system promotes better ergonomics and reduces the need for constant repositioning.

Yes, the Hill-Rom VersaCare Hospital Bed is designed with ergonomic and intuitive controls to simplify operation for both patients and caregivers.

Key control features include:

• Integrated Patient Controls: Controls are conveniently located directly on the easy-to-reach side rails, allowing patients to independently adjust their position.
• Hands-Free Caregiver Controls: Caregivers can make effortless height and positioning adjustments using hands-free foot controls that are accessible from any side of the bed.

Yes, the Hill-Rom VersaCare Hospital Bed is specifically designed as a versatile healing system for mid- to high-acuity patients.

Its engineering supports advanced care through:

• High Weight Capacity: Supports a maximum patient weight of 500 lb.
• Skin Integrity Management: Optional therapeutic surfaces (like the P500 or A.I.R. Therapy Surface) manage pressure, shear, and microclimate to assist in pressure ulcer prevention and treatment.
• Advanced Safety: Features an optional 3-Level Bed Exit Alarm with sensitivity to detect the patient lying, sitting, or out of bed.
• Positioning: Includes FlexAFoot (up to 12” length extension) and LowChair functionality, allowing for an upright sitting position while maintaining a low bed height.

Yes, the optional IntelliDrive Powered Transport system is engineered to provide effortless maneuvering, maximizing caregiver efficiency during transport.

This powered feature significantly reduces the physical effort required to reposition the Certified Refurbished Hill-Rom VersaCare bed, even when accommodating its maximum patient weight capacity of 500 lb.

The Hill-Rom VersaCare Hospital Bed boasts a substantial 500 lb weight capacity. This robust design ensures it can safely accommodate a diverse range of mid- to high-acuity patients, providing both reliability and peace of mind.
