Theraposture to launch “pioneering” rotational bed for independent transfers at the OT Show
Adjustable beds specialist Theraposture will be unveiling its “pioneering” new Orbit 235 rotating bed at the OT Show (Stand H52) taking place at Birmingham’s NEC from 22 to 23 November.
An occupational rotational bed for independent transfers, the Orbit 235 has been developed in collaboration with occupational therapists and end users.
Theraposture provides a range of rotating beds including the Rotoflex. The Orbit 235 now extends this offering with a solution that be configured through personalised programming, and modular adjustments from its flexible design.
The bed can be adapted to suit users from 4’10” to 6’6” with adjustable platform lengths of 200, 210 and 220cm and programmable seating dimensions to suit all shapes and sizes.
There are three mattress lengths of 200, 210 and 220cm and the seat settings allow seat heights from 40cm to 48cm and depths from 46cm to 51cm, ensuring that full support and comfort is achieved.
Another innovation is the option to program a finished chair position of either 60 or 90 degrees in relation to the bed, to aid side access to a wheelchair or if space is limited in a room.
The speed of rotation, angle of recline, vertical lift (or tilt if preferred) can all be pre-programmed to user preferences. The Orbit 235, which has a maximum patient weight of 200kg, has a fully integrated powered rising heel section that ensures fully supported leg elevation to assist with oedema.
Theraposture’s Rotating Bed Range provide a safe, proven and lasting solution to independent bed transfers, allowing the users to get in and out of bed on their own terms, and when carer assistance isn’t available.
Shaun Masters, Occupational Therapist, who will be using the new Orbit 235 within his on-stand CPD presentations at the OT Show, said: “In my experience as an OT, the Orbit 235 is the most accomplished, capable, and well-designed rotating bed available.
“The Orbit 235 is suitable for a wide range of users, making it versatile and recyclable, and great value for equipment services.”
As with all rotating beds from Theraposture, the Orbit 235 can provide improved occupation for clients with conditions such as Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis and stroke, as well as general loss of mobility.
Theraposture provides free home assessments with a rotating bed, to ensure that suitability can be established in the user’s home environment, with the appropriate bed. For the Orbit 235, a personal configuration is saved and later used when the bed is delivered.
