There are two fundamental criteria to be taken into account when choosing a medical bed: the facility or unit in which the bed will be installed, and the type of patient who will be bedridden.

ICU beds are specially designed for critically ill patients who require constant monitoring and advanced medical interventions. These beds often have a wide range of adjustments, including the ability to position the patient at various angles for improved respiratory function. Many ICU beds also come equipped with advanced features like built-in scales, nurse call systems, and support for medical equipment.

After purchasing a wheelchair, it's essential to stay informed about maintenance and necessary adjustments. Regular servicing can extend the lifespan of the wheelchair and ensure safety and functionality. Users should also be mindful of accessories that can enhance their experience, such as cushions for added comfort, storage options, and assistive devices to aid in mobility.
