Fowler Bed with Abs Railing

Fowler Bed with ABS Railing

A Fowler Bed with ABS Railing is an essential piece of modern hospital furniture designed to provide maximum comfort, safety, and support to patients during prolonged stays. This bed is widely used in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, trauma centers, and rehabilitation facilities. Its ergonomic structure, smooth adjustability, and high-strength build make it ideal for patient recovery, long-term care, and post-operative management. Equipped with durable ABS side rails, smooth crank mechanisms, and a corrosion-resistant frame, the Fowler Bed ensures both ease of operation for caregivers and comfort for patients.

High-Strength and Ergonomic Bed Structure

The primary structure of the Fowler Bed is engineered using high-quality CRCA steel, treated with an epoxy powder-coated finish to enhance durability and long life. This corrosion-resistant body withstands routine cleaning and heavy usage in medical environments. The bed platform is divided into four sections designed to provide smooth articulation to the backrest and knee rest. This helps patients maintain comfortable sitting, resting, or semi-lying postures essential for breathing support, feeding, examinations, and physiotherapy.

The ergonomic design helps reduce pressure points, ensuring optimal patient comfort during long hours of immobilization. This advanced posture support also helps in preventing bedsores, which are common among bedridden patients.

ABS Side Rails for Safety

One of the most important features of this Fowler Bed is its ABS side railing system. These rails offer excellent safety, preventing accidental falls and ensuring secure patient positioning. Made from high-grade ABS plastic, the rails are smooth, easy to operate, and simple to clean. They come with a user-friendly up-down mechanism providing effortless operation by nursing staff or attendants.

ABS rails are also antimicrobial, scratch-resistant, and aesthetically superior compared to traditional metal rails. Their lightweight yet strong construction ensures stability without adding excessive weight to the bed.

Mechanically Adjustable Backrest and Knee Rest

The Fowler Bed includes manual/mechanical cranks that allow smooth, jerk-free adjustments. These cranks operate the following:

• Backrest adjustment: Helps patients sit comfortably for feeding, communication, physiotherapy, and respiratory support.

• Knee rest adjustment: Reduces strain on lower limbs, enhances blood circulation, and helps prevent swelling and discomfort.

The smooth operation of these cranks reduces caregiver effort and ensures precise positioning. Their foldable design avoids accidental entanglement or injury.

Durable Bed Board & Surface

The bed platform is designed with either a perforated steel sheet or solid ABS top, depending on the model. Perforated tops allow ventilation to reduce moisture accumulation, while ABS tops offer easy cleaning and hygienic maintenance. Both options provide superior strength, ensuring stability for heavy-load patients.

The corners of the bed surface are rounded for safety and aesthetic appeal, eliminating sharp edges that may cause injury.

Head & Foot Panels (ABS Molded)

The Fowler Bed comes equipped with ABS molded head and foot panels that enhance the overall appearance and functional usability of the product. These panels are:

• Lightweight yet strong

• Easily removable for quick cleaning

• Scratch-resistant and anti-bacterial

• Designed with integrated handles for easy patient transfer

The ABS panels add to the overall durability while giving the bed a modern, professional look.

Mobility & Locking System

Some variants of the Fowler Bed come with heavy-duty castor wheels that ensure smooth movement across hospital floors. These wheels are designed to reduce noise, avoid floor marks, and provide stable rolling on different surfaces.

The castors include a diagonal locking system, allowing secure placement of the bed during treatment. This ensures the bed stays fixed during patient transfer or when adjusting the bed posture.

Mattress Compatibility

The Fowler Bed is compatible with standard hospital mattresses, including:

• PU foam mattress

• Waterproof PVC mattress

• Anti-bedsore mattress

• Latex or orthopedic mattress

The bed’s structure provides adequate support for various therapeutic mattresses, ensuring enhanced patient comfort based on medical needs.

Ease of Cleaning & Maintenance

Hospital hygiene demands frequent cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilization. This bed is designed with materials that support easy maintenance:

• ABS components resist chemicals and disinfectants

• Powder-coated steel prevents rust and corrosion

• Smooth surfaces avoid dirt accumulation

• Perforated tops support ventilation

The durability and hygiene-focused construction make it ideal for high-usage environments.

Applications in Medical Settings

A Fowler Bed with ABS Railing is suited for:

• General wards

• Private patient rooms

• ICU and HDU support areas (non-electric beds)

• Rehabilitation units

• Post-operative recovery wards

Its versatile adjustability helps patients maintain comfortable postures, reduces the burden on caregivers, and supports overall recovery.
