Many medical conditions, especially cardiovascular illnesses, require the patient to change their position in ways they can’t achieve in an ordinary bed. These can include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and patients with severe cardiac conditions who can leave the bed but must avoid physical strain can also qualify for hospital bed coverage. These patients may need to have the head of the bed elevated more than 30 degrees due to their medical issues, but this usually comes after the doctor considers pillows or wedges and rules them out. 

A dressing trolley is a mobile unit designed for carrying medical supplies and equipment necessary for dressing wounds. It typically features multiple shelves, drawers, and sometimes specialized components such as waste bins and integrated glove dispensers. Dressing trolleys are constructed with materials that resist contamination and can be easily sanitized, ensuring patient safety and adherence to hygiene standards.
