Fully Electric Hi-Low · Long-Term Care
A fully electric, adjustable long-term care bed built for people with Alzheimer’s or other chronic conditions that limit independence. Quiet, level motion, Trendelenburg at the push of a button, and a welded steel frame rated up to 600 lbs.
Overview
Are you looking for a great hospital bed at a fair price? The Tuffcare Century is it. It looks more conventional than our furniture-style hi-low beds, but it is very functional, quiet and reliable, and it is finished in clean antique white rather than the standard brown.
The Century T7000 series is fully electric. A five-function hand pendant controls the head, the foot, the bed height and return to flat, with Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg and lawn chair positions at the push of a button. Premier DC motors with a synchronized control system keep the bed level as it moves, and a welded steel frame holds up to 600 lbs.
Choose the T7036 with a standard 36″ × 80″ sleep surface, or the T7042 at 42″ × 80″, a more generous width for a very nominal difference in cost. Pair either one with a latex mattress for your personal use, and take a health break.
Features
One ergonomic hand control runs the head, foot, bed height and return to flat, reducing strain for residents and caregivers.
Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg and lawn chair positions with infinite positioning in between.
Premier DC motors with a synchronized control system keep the bed level while it raises and lowers.
A recessed lower frame leaves about nine inches below for housekeeping and patient handling equipment.
A two-piece grid deck makes set-up, moving and operation simpler.
Eight 4″ swivel casters with four locking brakes, to roll the bed or hold it firmly in place.
An external battery pack runs the bed for up to 7 minutes during a power outage.
Help with getting in and out of bed, and added security when the bed is raised.
Trendelenburg Positioning
Most home beds only raise the head and the foot. The Tuffcare Century also tilts the entire sleep surface, which caregivers use to reposition a resident, improve circulation and reduce pressure on the skin.
Lower the bed for safe transfers and fall-risk peace of mind; raise it to caregiver height for bathing, changing and repositioning.
