Nightingale Care Beds Ltd

Nightingale designed and developed ProAxis to exacting standards and worked closely with healthcare specialists to assist nursing staff in giving superior levels of care to patients whilst dramatically reducing the risks associated with manual handling.

All the features of ProAxis have been incorporated with the needs of the patient and healthcare professional in mind.

ProAxis has a safe working load of up to 283 kgs.

"The ProAxis electric profiling hospital beds has been designed to minimise any unwanted patient migration down the bed......"

The unique "dropping hinge" incorporated in the ergonomically designed three section mattress platform holds patients firmly in position by lowering the sacral area as the back rest rises. The foot section lowers at the same time thus ensuring minimal sheer and friction. Pressure is dynamically redistributed each time the backrest is moved.

"Probably the safest hospital bed on the market......"

Packed with safety features, ProAxis leads the way by putting safety first.
Features include:

Low voltage - only 36v supplied directly to the bed minimises electrical hazards for both patients and staff
Battery backup supplies 8 hours normal usage
High-risk Visco-elastic mattress supplied as standard
Integrated safety sides that profile with the sleep surface for safety and can be used as egress and in bed movement aids
Inbuilt diagnostics with audio and visual warnings alerting staff to potential hazards

"State of the art, but simple to use control system......"

Designed and built specifically for ProAxis, speed controlled motors enable "soft" stop and start eliminating jolts and delivering smooth movement at the touch of a button. Pre-set Cardiac Chair and Bed Flat buttons are simplicity themselves to use.

The self levelling ability of the Trendelenburg control eliminates all difficulties associated with manual operations.
Fully automated CPR function allows staff to concentrate on patient needs rather than manual bed operation.

"Modular design of ProAxis makes for simpler cleaning and maintenance......"

In the unlikely event of any breakdowns or system failures simplicity of design and modular construction means that issues can be quickly resolved with the inbuilt diagnostics giving us the information we need before arriving on site. The vast majority of breakdowns will be fixed on site with the minimum of disruption.

Easy clean platform covers
IP 56 ingress protection on control system
Easily removed head and foot boards
Stainless steel safety sides for ease of cleaning and strength

Overall, ProAxis offers a safe, technologically advanced system suitable for the most demanding situations.
