Semi-Fowler Bed (General) – Ergonomic Hospital Bed for Patient Comfort | Scilabex

A Semi-Fowler Bed (General) is a vital hospital bed designed for enhanced patient care, comfort, and safety.

With sturdy construction, smooth manual adjustments, and patient-friendly design, the Semi-Fowler Bed ensures both comfort for patients and ease of operation for caregivers.

Available at Scilabex and Scilabstore, this bed comes with PAN India delivery and international shipping, making it a reliable solution for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities worldwide.

1. Overview of Semi-Fowler Bed

The Semi-Fowler Bed is designed to elevate the head section of the bed at an angle of 30–45 degrees while keeping the legs and lower body flat. This posture provides:

• Improved lung expansion and easier breathing

• Reduced risk of aspiration during feeding

• Better circulation and reduced swelling

• Enhanced comfort for post-surgery or bedridden patients

Unlike full Fowler beds, the Semi-Fowler design focuses on a mild elevation, making it suitable for general ward patients, post-surgical recovery, and long-term care.
