Standard beds may not provide enough protection or flexibility for people living with involuntary movements, acquired brain injury or other complex care requirements. A purpose-built protective bed can help families and carers create a more controlled, supportive sleeping environment.
The Novaprotect Huntington’s Bed is designed with padded surrounds and anti-entrapment and anti-injury features. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of injury from involuntary movement while maintaining comfort and access for carers. The equipment is tailored to the individual, including factors such as size, height, safe working load and required features.
What to assess with a specialist bed
Start with the person’s movement patterns, transfer routine and known risks. Consider the height and padding of the surrounds, access for carers, mattress and pressure-care requirements, room clearance, control options and how the bed will be cleaned and maintained.
A specialist bed should be selected with input from the relevant clinical team and support network. The right configuration will depend on the person’s diagnosis, movement, environment and care plan.
Novacorr developed the Novaprotect range in collaboration with clinicians, occupational therapists and carers. The result is a more considered approach to safety, comfort and long-term durability for high-care environments.
