APEX STANDING BED — SPECIALIST CARE FOR SPINAL AND CRITICAL PATIENTS
The Apex Standing Bed is a state-of-the-art specialist medical bed designed to provide advanced support in critical care, trauma management, and spinal injury rehabilitation. By combining the core functions of a hospital bed with those of a tilting therapy table, it delivers a multifunctional solution that reduces the need for multiple pieces of equipment, streamlines patient handling, and optimises valuable floor space in clinical environments.
This versatile system allows patients to be positioned in lying, sitting, tilting, chair, and standing orientations without requiring additional transfer equipment, thereby enhancing safety, efficiency, and comfort for both patients and caregivers.
DESIGNED FOR CRITICAL, ACUTE AND TRAUMA CARE
The Apex Standing Bed is built with clinical precision to meet the needs of the most complex patients, particularly those recovering from spinal cord injuries, severe trauma, or prolonged immobility. Its design addresses both rehabilitation goals and safety protocols, making it suitable for high-dependency units, specialist spinal wards, and rehabilitation centres.
Provides early mobilisation therapy directly in bed, reducing reliance on hoists or transfer systems.
Supports spinal stability while offering progressive positioning that can be tailored to patient tolerance.
Reduces risks associated with prolonged immobility such as pressure injuries, pulmonary complications, and circulation issues.
MULTI-SECTION MATTRESS SUPPORT — FLEXIBLE CLINICAL POSITIONING
The bed is available with 3 or 4 section mattress support, offering customisable profiling to meet individual needs:
Electrically adjustable backrest for upright sitting and respiratory support.
Leg-lift and knee-break adjustment to promote circulation and comfort.
Removable footplate option for standing therapy or when additional leg support is not required.
This flexibility ensures the bed can be adapted for acute clinical intervention, rehabilitation therapy, or long-term patient comfort.
INTEGRATED STANDING AND TILTING FUNCTIONS
What sets the Apex Standing Bed apart is its smooth cantilever mechanism, which allows it to transform into a standing frame with controlled, motorised movement.
Patients can be safely raised from supine to upright standing without transferring to a separate tilt table.
Tilt and standing angles can be adjusted incrementally, making it possible to introduce standing therapy gradually for patients with reduced tolerance.
Supports rehabilitation programmes for patients with neurological conditions, spinal injuries, or prolonged immobility, encouraging circulation, muscle activity, and bone strength.
PATIENT SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
Safety is paramount in acute and trauma care, and the Apex Standing Bed incorporates multiple safeguards:
Retaining straps supplied as standard to ensure patient stability during standing or tilt therapy.
Central braking system for secure positioning in clinical environments.
Emergency lowering facility allows rapid return to a safe horizontal position in the event of distress, cardiac arrest, or power failure.
Dual hand control and master key-switch control provide secure, intuitive operation, preventing accidental or unauthorised adjustments.
These measures give clinical staff confidence when using the bed in high-acuity situations.
VERSATILE FUNCTIONS — MORE THAN A BED
Beyond its primary function as a standing bed, the Apex system also serves as a chair bed and turning bed, reducing the need for patient transfers and multiple items of equipment:
Chair mode allows patients to be safely seated for therapy, meals, or social interaction.
Turning function helps with repositioning, pressure management, and respiratory care.
Progressive therapy pathways are supported, enabling patients to move from lying to sitting, tilting, and standing in one integrated system.
This versatility makes it an invaluable resource for hospitals, rehabilitation units, and specialist spinal centres.
EASE OF USE AND CAREGIVER SUPPORT
The Apex Standing Bed is designed with caregiver ergonomics in mind:
Dual handsets allow operation from either side of the bed, supporting flexibility in different clinical layouts.
Master key-switch ensures only authorised staff can access advanced controls.
Smooth mechanisms and electric actuation reduce manual handling demands, lowering the risk of caregiver injury.
KEY FEATURES — AT A GLANCE

CLINICAL BENEFITS
The Apex Standing Bed delivers measurable outcomes in both acute care and rehabilitation:
Supports spinal rehabilitation by enabling upright posture and safe mobilisation.
Improves circulation and respiratory function by moving patients from lying to standing.
Reduces the risk of pressure ulcers with multiple repositioning and tilt functions.
Optimises space and equipment use, replacing the need for separate tilt tables and standing frames.
Improves patient dignity and comfort by allowing gradual, safe mobilisation without repeated transfers.
CONCLUSION — A MULTIFUNCTIONAL SOLUTION FOR COMPLEX CARE
The Apex Standing Bed is far more than a hospital bed. It is a specialist rehabilitation and critical care platform that combines bed, tilt table, chair, and standing functions into one advanced system. By addressing the complex needs of spinal injury patients, critical trauma cases, and those requiring early mobilisation, it enhances both patient recovery and caregiver efficiency.
With its robust safety features, versatile positioning, and integrated standing capability, the Apex Standing Bed represents a significant step forward in the delivery of modern critical and rehabilitation care.
