Designed to be fixed permanently in position,
usually right next to, or near to the patients' bed, our 'WISKAWAY'®
7500H
Wall Bed can be whisked away effortlessly, (in literally seconds, in an
emergency for instance), complete with all the bedding and even the
pillows, into a neat, unobtrusive, self-contained housing.
This eliminates the need for staff to trundle temporary beds to and fro
and make them up/unmake them each evening/morning and leads to various
Health & Safety and Manual Handling benefits as well as to substantial
cost savings over time - (including significantly reduced laundry
bills).
A marked improvement in the appearance and spaciousness of the
wards/bays/cubicles in which our 'WISKAWAY® Wall Beds are used, is a
further bonus, with obvious advantages for patients, relatives,
nursing/medical and even the cleaning staff.
To complement our 'WISKAWAY'® 7500H Wall Beds, we offer a choice of high
specification foam, or interior sprung
Mattresses, all wipe-clean/waterproof and flame retardant to
Ignition Source 5. Source 7 mattresses are also available.
The 'WISKAWAY'® 7500H Wall Bed comes complete with wipe-clean, flexible,
bedding retaining strap(s). These are permanently attached to the head
end and are simply stretched across, when the bed has been made in the
morning and hooked on to the foot end, to hold the mattress and all the
bedding, including the pillows, securely in place, when the bed is
folded away.
Because the 'WISKAWAY'® 7500H is counterbalanced, it must be securely
fixed to the wall.
