Medical actuators are used in a different types of application in the healthcare industries. The most common example of an actuator application is the electric hospital bed. While manually cranked beds are still in use, electric hospital beds have been lauded for their safety, comfort, and ease of use. In this post, we are discussing the design of these beds, and how medical actuators support their function.
What is the Function of an Electric Hospital Bed?
An electric hospital bed is a mobile bed designed with the following components:
Understanding the role of the Medical Actuator in Hospital Beds
Generally, for this particular application, electric actuators are chosen to help support the raising and lifting mechanisms. The actuators are installed within the frame of the bed. Multiple electric actuators are used to ensure smooth movement of all sections of the platform. Given below are the steps that take place when the electric hospital bed is in use.
Medical actuators with the help of electric motors have revolutionized the design and function of hospital beds. By allowing a patient to adjust the angle and height of the bed’s sections. Actuators used in medical industry also increase a patient’s comfort level, thus improving his chances of recovery.
