A Manual Semi Fowler Backrest Hospital Bed is a type of hospital bed designed to provide patients with more comfort and support than a plain bed, while still being cost-effective and manually operated.
It is called Semi Fowler because it allows the patient to be positioned in the Semi Fowler’s position (head elevated at about 30–45°), which is commonly used in hospitals for rest, recovery, and certain treatments.
Key Features:
- Adjustable backrest → operated manually with a crank or lever, allowing the upper body to be raised.
- Flat or fixed leg section → only the backrest moves; the leg section usually remains horizontal.
- Frame construction → strong steel or powder-coated metal for durability.
- Headboard & footboard → often made of stainless steel, ABS plastic, or laminated material.
- Mattress support → ventilated panels or mesh for airflow and easy cleaning.
- Optional wheels (casters) → for mobility, usually with locking brakes.
Common Uses:
-For patients who need upper body elevation (e.g., for better breathing, feeding, or comfort).
-Post-surgical recovery and general medical care.
-Used in wards, nursing homes, and private care settings.
-Beneficial for patients with respiratory issues, heart problems, or difficulty swallowing.
