Why Choose a Low Profiling Bed?
Many patients requiring the use of profiling hospital beds are at risk of falls from bed, so everything must be done in order to prevent injury. The low height of this bed is ideal for patients at risk of bed falls, minimising their chance of injury if a fall does occur.
Which Mattress is Recommended for Use with This Bed?
This bed is suitable for use with any pressure relief mattress with a standard single bed width and four section profiling support. For patients at a medium risk of pressure ulcer development, we recommend the Alerta Sensaflex 500 Foam Pressure Relief Mattress, which can be added to your order using the tick box near the top of the page. Before making a purchase of any pressure relief mattress, we recommend consulting with your medical professional to ensure the selection is suitable.
Should I Use a Crash Mattress?
While this bed is equipped with side rails, it is also recommended that a crash mattress be paired with the bed to provide comprehensive fall safety provisions. We recommend using a crash mattress like the Sidhil Essential Crash Mattress, which can be added to your order using the tick box near the top of the page.
Is This Bed Height Adjustable?
Yes, with the touch of a button on the included 10 function handset, this bed can be adjusted in height to provide a safe working height for carers, as well as an ideal low height for patient transfers and fall safety. The height can be adjusted from 20cm to 80cm off the ground, providing a height range that will suit most needs.
Is The Handset Lockable?
Yes, the included 10 function handset features a lock-out capability. This is ideal when there is a risk of unwanted patient tampering, ensuring that care givers can provide the best and most consistent positioning to their patient.
Which Wood Finishes Are Available?
This bed is available in two stylish wood finishes: Oak and Walnut. Providing a choice between light and dark wood grain, these two wood finishes allow the Alerta Lomond Low to fit seamlessly into home environments without disrupting the look of the room or decor.
What If I Require an Alternating Air Mattress?
For patients at significant risk of pressure sore development, we recommend this bed be used with an alternating air mattress like the Alerta Emerald Overlay Alternating Air Mattress System. Keep in mind that with an overlay system like the Emerald, an underlay like the Alerta Sensaflex Foam Mattress Underlay must be used.
Is This Bed Supplied with Side Rails?
Yes, this bed is supplied with wooden side rails to protect the patient from falls from bed. These side rails can be lowered, allowing for easy side transfers of the patient.
Can This Bed Place the Patient in the Trendelenburg Position?
Yes, this bed can place the patient in the Trendelenburg position. This position places the patient's feet higher than the head, which can be advantageous during certain medical procedures.
Will This Bed Stabilise the Mattress?
Yes, unlike most other profiling beds, the Alerta Lomond includes four mattress grips. These grips can be seen at the corners of the mattress platform, and will keep the mattress stable during profiling to ensure slipping or displacement is prevented.
Previously Known as the Alerta Encore Bed Range
The Alerta Lomond range is the new name for the profiling beds previously known as the Alerta Encore range. All dimensions and functions remain the same, and all accessories and spare parts for Lomond and Encore beds are fully interchangeable. The updated range includes the following beds:
Is This Bed Easy to Assemble?
This bed is designed to be as easy to assemble and disassemble as possible, and both can be done without the use of tools. This not only makes setup simple, but also allows the bed to be efficiently stored and transported with minimal hassle.
How Can This Bed Be Transported?
With such a large piece of equipment, transport can be difficult if not accounted for in the product design. This bed features a transport mode that locks into position, providing a stable and easily manoeuvrable shape that can be stored and transported with ease.
Is This Bed Supplied with a Warranty?
Yes, this profiling bed is supplied with a three year warranty on the bed frame and a two year warranty on the motors and electrics. This allows you to use the Lomond Hospital Bed with peace of mind that top functionality is assured.
