The Freedom Bed relieves the family caregiver's burden of constantly turning over their elderly mother or father in bed. The Freedom Bed manually or automatically turns the bed-user to different stable sleeping positions without the aid of the caregiver.
The bed closely mimics the body's natural nocturnal motion by mechanically repositioning it in order to re-establish blood flow to compressed tissue and thus prevent the formation of life-threatening bedsores and other complications of immobility.
The bed smoothly and quietly rotates the senior to different positions, by creating a "wing" which supports the body along its entire length from the ankle to the shoulder. The eldery parent is carefully cradled by the bed's structure to prevent sliding.
Another feature unique to The Freedom Bed™ is the air-powered head and leg raising system that allows the elder to be raised into the sitting position. The system can be adjusted to meet the requirements of each individual user.
The Freedom Bed is very easy to use. A simple control panels allow caregivers to easily program the bed for automatic use or to adjust any of the bed's operations manually. Changing the operation of the bed from automatic to manual or from manual to automatic is a one-step procedure.
There is also a safety "lock-out" that lets the caregiver determine the choice and number of functions that bed users may access from their control panel.
The functioning of the bed allows the user to be smoothly and quietly turned through a 60° range of rotation - from the horizontal position to up to 30° left and 30° right. Rotation can be programmed to stop at any position.
