Fowler Bed with Grill

Fowler Bed with Grill

A Fowler Bed with Grill is one of the most trusted and widely used hospital beds in general wards, private rooms, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities. Designed to offer maximum patient comfort and medical support, this bed provides essential posture adjustments, strong body construction, and durable grill panels that ensure stability and safety throughout the patient’s stay. The Fowler mechanism allows smooth adjustment of the backrest and knee rest, making it ideal for patients who need semi-recumbent positions for breathing, feeding, physiotherapy, and post-operative recovery.

The addition of heavy-duty grilled panels enhances the structural strength and increases ventilation for patients, making this model extremely reliable for medical setups that require long-lasting, hygienic, and low-maintenance beds.

Strong and Durable Steel Grill Platform

The main highlight of the Fowler Bed with Grill is its robust grill platform, made from high-quality CRCA steel. The grill top design provides excellent strength and ventilation, preventing moisture build-up beneath the patient and ensuring hygiene throughout extended use. The evenly spaced grill pattern supports the mattress uniformly, reducing sagging and ensuring long-term durability.

This platform is powder coated with high-grade epoxy material, offering rust resistance, scratch resistance, and protection against disinfectants used in hospitals. The grill surface is easy to clean and made to withstand heavy daily usage in medical environments.

Four-Section Bed Structure for Enhanced Comfort

The bed is built with a four-section platform, allowing patients to achieve multiple comfortable postures. These sections work together to provide full ergonomic support:

• Backrest section: Helps patients sit upright for feeding, physiotherapy, examination, and respiratory support.

• Knee rest section: Elevates lower limbs to improve circulation and reduce swelling.

• Thigh and leg sections: Provide total support and minimize pressure on the spine and lower body.

This structure is ideal for patients recovering from surgery, trauma, or chronic illnesses who require customized body positioning.

Smooth Manual Crank Mechanism

The Fowler Bed with Grill operates through manual crank systems, designed for easy use by caregivers and medical staff. These cranks control the movement of the backrest and knee rest with smooth, jerk-free motion, allowing precise adjustments without straining the attendant.

Features of the crank system include:

• Foldable handles for safety

• Smooth rotation for effortless operation

• Reliable mechanical components

• Long-lasting performance

The mechanical functioning eliminates dependence on electricity, making it suitable for all hospitals—including rural clinics and emergency wards.

Grill Panels Provide Superior Ventilation & Strength

The grill design ensures enhanced ventilation for the patient, reducing heat and moisture accumulation that often leads to discomfort or skin issues. This feature is particularly beneficial for long-term bed-ridden patients.

Additionally, the grill provides:

• High load-bearing capacity

• Better mattress support

• Long-lasting durability

• Resilience against bending or deformation

Combined with an epoxy-coated finish, the grill sections remain corrosion-free even after years of usage and regular sanitization.

Side Rails (Optional)

Depending on requirements, the Fowler Bed with Grill can be equipped with:

• ABS side rails

• Collapsible aluminum side rails

• Stainless steel railings

These rails protect patients from accidental falls, especially elderly patients or those recovering from surgery. Most hospitals prefer collapsible or ABS rails for safety and ease of operation.

ABS or Metal Head & Foot Panels

The Fowler Bed with Grill comes with options for ABS molded head/foot panels or mild steel tubular panels.

ABS Panels:

• Attractive and modern design

• Easy to clean

• Scratch-resistant

• Lightweight and durable

• Anti-bacterial surface

Metal Panels:

• Strong and economical

• Highly durable

• Powder-coated finish

• Long-lasting performance

Both types of panels are detachable, making cleaning and patient handling easier.

Sturdy Frame with Anti-Rust Coating

Hospitals demand furniture that lasts long and withstands rigorous cleaning cycles. To meet this requirement, the frame of the Fowler Bed with Grill is built with:

• CRCA steel tubes

• Fully welded joints

• Epoxy powder-coating

This combination ensures long-term stability and resistance to rust, corrosion, scratches, and chemical damage—all common in hospital environments.

Optional Castor Wheels for Mobility

Depending on the hospital’s need, the bed can include heavy-duty castor wheels with:

• Smooth anti-skid rolling

• Silent movement

• 360-degree rotation

• Central or diagonal braking system

Castor wheels make the bed easy to move during cleaning, shifting patients, or rearranging the ward.

Mattress Compatibility

The Fowler Bed with Grill supports all standard hospital mattresses, including:

• PU foam mattress

• Waterproof PVC-coated mattress

• Anti-bedsore mattress

• Orthopedic mattress

The grill structure enhances ventilation beneath the mattress, ensuring hygiene and longer mattress life.

Easy Maintenance & Hygiene Friendly

Maintenance is simple because:

• The grill top prevents moisture retention

• Powder-coated surfaces resist disinfectant chemicals

• Smooth surfaces prevent germ accumulation

• Steel material is easy to wash and sterilize

In high-turnover areas like general wards, quick cleaning is essential—and this bed supports rapid sanitization without requiring special tools.

Ideal for Multiple Medical Environments

The Fowler Bed with Grill is widely used in:

• General hospital wards

• ICU backup or semi-ICU rooms

• Private patient rooms

• Emergency wards

• Rehabilitation centers

• Physiotherapy units

• Old-age care centers

Its mechanical operation, durable grill platform, and comfort-oriented design make it suitable for all types of patients—post-surgical, elderly, trauma, long-term care, and bedridden individuals.
