Grace Medy BCE5-SMJ02-13

General paediatric and adult inpatient wards are a primary deployment setting for the BCE5-SMJ02-13 Five-Function Electric ICU Hospital Bed. Ward managers and falls-prevention leads can rely on the 420 mm minimum height to meet fall-risk governance requirements, reducing the distance to the floor during unsupported patient movement. NHS trusts sourcing this model through Medigear.uk benefit from a documented procurement route that supports framework compliance and audit-ready supply chain records.

Intensive care units and high-dependency units demand the highest degree of positioning precision, and the BCE5-SMJ02-13 is configured accordingly. Back section articulation to 75°, knee section elevation to 45°, and independent Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt to 15° allow clinicians to achieve haemodynamic positioning targets without manually repositioning the patient. These ranges support ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention protocols, central line insertion positioning, and airway management across complex ICU patient presentations.

Rehabilitation units require a bed platform that adapts fluidly across the recovery arc, from acute post-operative immobility to progressive mobilisation and physiotherapy-assisted movement. The height-adjustment range of the BCE5-SMJ02-13 supports bed-to-chair transfer training at low heights and therapist-accessible positioning at working height, enabling physiotherapists to deliver structured rehabilitation programmes without auxiliary equipment. Medigear.uk can advise on configuration options suited to rehabilitation unit layouts and therapy programme requirements.

Home care and post-discharge settings benefit from the operational simplicity of the BCE5-SMJ02-13 platform. Family carers and community nurses can operate the hand controller without specialist training, adjusting height and position for wound care, medication administration, or comfort repositioning. The 1950 mm by 900 mm bed surface provides generous space for patients recovering at home with therapeutic mattress overlays in place. Buyers sourcing for home or community use are encouraged to contact Medigear.uk for delivery, assembly, and ongoing technical support.

Hospital-Grade Fall Prevention at 420 mm Minimum Height

The confirmed 420 mm minimum height positions the BCE5-SMJ02-13 as a direct tool for falls-prevention governance in acute and high-dependency settings. A lower bed surface reduces the height differential between the mattress and the floor, which evidence consistently links to reduced injury severity during unassisted patient exit events. Ward managers procuring through Medigear.uk can reference this specification in risk-assessment documentation and CQC-facing quality-improvement reports. Falls reduction is one of the most financially significant patient safety metrics for NHS trusts, making this a procurement decision with measurable governance impact.

Extended Trendelenburg Range to 15° for Haemodynamic Protocols

The confirmed 0–15° range for both Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt extends beyond the 12° typical of many standard ICU beds, providing clinicians with greater angular flexibility for haemodynamic positioning, central line insertion, and airway management. These positions are operable independently of height and section settings, allowing combined multi-axis adjustments during active patient monitoring without resetting either tilt axis. Medigear.uk can confirm tilt motor specifications and control sequences on request.

Backrest to 75° for Full Fowler's and Respiratory Positioning

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 backrest articulates from 0° to a confirmed 75°, covering the full Fowler's range from semi-recumbent to near-upright positioning. This supports ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention protocols requiring sustained head-of-bed elevation above 30°, as well as feeding, respiratory therapy, and progressive mobilisation across the patient admission arc. The independent backrest motor allows head-of-bed elevation to be adjusted without disturbing height, knee, or tilt settings.

Clinical Governance Documentation via Medigear.uk

Buyers sourcing the BCE5-SMJ02-13 through Medigear.uk gain access to a structured procurement pathway that supports clinical governance requirements. NHS trusts, CCGs, and integrated care systems can request CE certification documentation, ISO 13485 quality management evidence, and IEC 60601 compliance records to satisfy medical device procurement audits. The Medigear.uk procurement team is equipped to support framework submissions and supplier registration processes for public sector buyers, reducing administrative friction in the acquisition pathway.

Generous 1950 mm × 900 mm Bed Surface for ICU Mattress Compatibility

The confirmed bed surface of 1950 mm by 900 mm is wider than many standard ICU bed platforms, providing additional lateral stability for bariatric patients and greater compatibility with wide-format therapeutic mattress systems. This dimension supports infection control teams in specifying compatible alternating pressure or lateral rotation overlays with confidence in fit before purchase. Medigear.uk can provide detailed platform specifications to facilitate alignment on mattress procurement.

Five Independent Motors for Simultaneous Multi-Axis Positioning

Five independently motorised functions — backrest, leg rest, height, Trendelenburg, and anti-Trendelenburg — allow clinical teams to make concurrent adjustments without waiting for one movement sequence to complete before initiating another. This reduces repositioning time during handover, procedure preparation, and emergency positioning, contributing to measurable improvements in nursing efficiency across a shift. The Medigear.uk procurement team can confirm actuator specifications for maintenance planning.

Home and Community Care Suitability with Carer-Accessible Controls

For post-discharge and home care buyers, the BCE5-SMJ02-13 offers a clinically capable bed platform in a format accessible to non-clinical carers. Electric height and position adjustment via the hand controller does not require nursing qualifications to operate safely, enabling family members or community care workers to perform routine repositioning, wound care, and comfort adjustments without professional attendance. Medigear.uk supports individual buyers through the delivery, installation, and initial set-up process.

Procurement-Ready for NHS Tenders and Distributor Frameworks

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 is positioned for direct inclusion in NHS tender responses and distributor framework agreements. B2B buyers can request full technical data packs, CE documentation, and OEM configuration options via Medigear.UK, streamlining the public-sector procurement submission process. The confirmed dimensional and functional specification makes the bed straightforward to position against tender requirement matrices without requiring pre-submission site visits.

Minimum Height: 420 mm

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 achieves a confirmed minimum frame height of 420 mm in the lowered electric position. This specification directly supports falls-prevention protocols in acute and high-dependency settings by minimising the vertical distance between the mattress surface and the floor. At this height, most standard ICU mattress systems provide a sleeping surface of approximately 470–530 mm above floor level, depending on mattress depth.

Maximum Height: 680 mm

At its maximum electric height of 680 mm, the BCE5-SMJ02-13 provides a working surface height well-suited for clinical procedures, wound care, and nursing interventions that require staff to work at an ergonomically neutral position. This upper limit accommodates the full range of adult patient sizes and clinical equipment positioned beneath the frame during care delivery.

Total Height Adjustment Range: 260 mm

The 260 mm total height range of the BCE5-SMJ02-13 — spanning 420 mm to 680 mm — provides clinical teams with sufficient vertical travel to transition between low-safe patient positioning and optimal clinical working height within a single admission, without requiring manual intervention or supplementary equipment.

Backrest Adjustment: 0° to 75°

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 back section articulates from flat (0°) to a confirmed 75°, enabling the full Fowler's range, including semi-recumbent and near-upright positioning. This range supports ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention protocols requiring sustained head-of-bed elevation above 30°, as well as feeding, respiratory therapy, and progressive mobilisation. The backrest motor operates independently of all other articulation axes.

Knee Section Adjustment: 0° to 45°

Knee section elevation from 0° to a confirmed 45° supports lower-limb oedema management, postoperative deep vein thrombosis prevention protocols, and patient comfort positioning during extended admissions. The knee section operates in coordination with the leg platform to maintain physiological limb alignment during elevation. Independent motor control allows the knee raise to be adjusted without altering the backrest, height, or tilt positions.

Trendelenburg Range: 0° to 15°

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 provides confirmed Trendelenburg (head-down) tilt from 0° to 15°, exceeding the 12° range of many standard ICU beds and offering clinical teams greater flexibility for haemodynamic management, central line insertion positioning, and specific surgical preparation protocols. The tilt function is operable independently of height and section positions.

Anti-Trendelenburg Range: 0° to 15°

Confirmed reverse Trendelenburg (head-up) tilt from 0° to 15° is available on the BCE5-SMJ02-13, supporting airway management, reflux prevention, and postoperative recovery positioning. This extended range supports protocols requiring head-of-bed elevation beyond the standard 12° offered by most ICU beds. The tilt is independently controllable from all other articulation axes.

Motor System: Five Independent Electric Motors

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 is driven by five primary functions: backrest, leg rest, height, Trendelenburg, and anti-Trendelenburg. Exact motor count, independent motor assignments, and linear actuator specifications should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team. Motor independence — where each function has a dedicated actuator — is preferred in ICU settings because it enables simultaneous multi-axis adjustment without mechanical interdependence.

Frame Articulation: Multi-Section Configuration

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 frame is designed in multiple sections to enable independent articulation of the back, seat, knee, and leg regions, consistent with standard five-function ICU bed architecture. The section count and precise mechanical configuration should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team. Multi-section frames allow clinical positioning protocols — including semi-recumbent positioning to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia — to be implemented without patient-handling manoeuvres.

Side Rail System: Multi-Panel with Lowering Mechanism

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 incorporates a multi-panel side rail system on both sides of the bed. The rail material, individual panel count, and lowering mechanism type should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team. Side rails are a primary patient containment safety feature in ICU settings and must meet the dimensional and strength requirements of applicable medical device standards.

Hand Controller: Remote Electric Operation with Child Lock

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 is operated via a hand controller, which manages all five electrical functions from the bedside. The controller includes a child-lock function to restrict patient or visitor access to movement controls during high-dependency care. Exact button count and layout should be confirmed with Medigear.uk.

Head Board and Foot Board: Clinical-Grade Panel Material

The materials specifications for the BCE5-SMJ02-1 headboard and footboard should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team. Board material affects decontamination compatibility, impact resistance, and the ability to attach clinical accessories such as document holders or monitoring brackets.

Bed Surface: 1950 mm × 900 mm

The confirmed bed surface of the BCE5-SMJ02-13 measures 1950 mm in length and 900 mm in width, accommodating standard adult ICU mattresses, including anti-decubitus overlays and alternating pressure systems. The 900 mm width is wider than many standard ICU platforms, providing additional space for lateral patient repositioning and compatibility with bariatric mattresses. Mattress depth range should be confirmed with Medigear.uk.

Frame Material and Castor Specification: Confirm with Medigear.uk

The structural frame material and its surface treatment should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team for the BCE5-SMJ02-13. Castor diameter, material, and braking configuration — including whether central, directional, or individual castor braking is used — should also be confirmed. These specifications affect weight-bearing capacity, floor compatibility, and ease of transport across clinical ward surfaces.

The BCE5-SMJ02-13 Five-Function Electric ICU Hospital Bed delivers a clinically grounded, electrically adjustable intensive care platform with a confirmed height range of 420–680 mm, backrest articulation to 75°, knee section elevation to 45°, Trendelenburg and anti-Trendelenburg tilt to 15°, and a bed surface of 1950 mm by 900 mm. Suitable for acute wards, ICUs, high-dependency units, rehabilitation, and home care settings, it addresses the operational requirements of NHS procurement teams, B2B distributors, and individual buyers with equal rigour. Certification compliance — including CE and ISO 13485 — should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team.
