Grace Medy BCM5-SMJ02-1

General paediatric and adult inpatient wards are a primary deployment setting for the BCM5-SMJ02-1 Five-Function Manual 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 the manual configuration is particularly suited to ward areas where power socket availability or electrical safety requirements limit the use of electric beds.

Rehabilitation units and step-down wards represent a strong fit for the BCM5-SMJ02-1, where patients are progressing toward independence, and the full clinical positioning range of a five-function bed remains relevant without requiring the higher cost of an electric platform. Back section articulation to 75°, knee section elevation to 45°, and Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt to 15° support the full range of physiotherapy-aligned positioning without dependence on an electric motor. The manual adjustment mechanism encourages deliberate, staff-supervised position changes that align with supervised mobilisation protocols.

Home care and post-discharge settings benefit from the BCM5-SMJ02-1's mechanical reliability. Without reliance on mains power or battery systems, the bed operates in any home environment regardless of power supply quality or availability, making it a robust choice for rural, older, or temporary housing settings. Family carers and community nurses can operate the crank mechanisms without specialist training for routine height and position adjustments. Buyers sourcing for home or community use are encouraged to contact Medigear.uk for delivery, assembly, and ongoing technical support.

Community hospitals, hospices, and intermediate care facilities sourcing through Medigear.uk will find the BCM5-SMJ02-1 a cost-effective alternative to full-electric configurations where the five-function clinical range is required but motor-driven articulation is not a procurement priority. The 1950 mm by 900 mm bed surface accommodates standard mattress systems used across these settings, and B2B buyers can request bulk pricing and framework documentation directly through the Medigear.uk commercial team.

Hospital-Grade Fall Prevention at 420 mm Minimum Height

The confirmed 420 mm minimum height positions the BCM5-SMJ02-1 as a direct tool for falls-prevention governance in acute and rehabilitation 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.

Power-Independent Operation for Any Clinical Environment

The manual crank mechanism of the BCM5-SMJ02-1 eliminates reliance on mains power or battery backup, making it suitable for deployment in any clinical or home care setting regardless of electrical infrastructure. This is a meaningful advantage in older NHS estates, temporary facilities, rural home care settings, and international deployments where a reliable power supply cannot be guaranteed. Distributors supplying to diverse healthcare markets will find the BCM5-SMJ02-1 a versatile addition to their product range, available through Medigear.uk.

Extended Trendelenburg Range to 15° for Clinical Positioning

The confirmed 0–15° range for both Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt extends beyond the 12° typical of many standard hospital beds, providing clinical teams with greater angular flexibility for haemodynamic positioning, drainage protocols, and airway management. These positions are staff-controlled via manual adjustment, ensuring deliberate and supervised positional changes across all care settings. Medigear.uk can confirm the specific adjustment mechanism and locking configuration on request.

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

The BCM5-SMJ02-1 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. Manual backrest adjustment allows the position to be set and held without ongoing power draw, making it reliable across extended patient stays.

Clinical Governance Documentation via Medigear.uk

Buyers sourcing the BCM5-SMJ02-1 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.

Cost-Effective Five-Function Configuration for Budget-Conscious Procurement

The BCM5-SMJ02-1 delivers the full five-function clinical range — backrest, leg rest, height, Trendelenburg, and anti-Trendelenburg — in a manual configuration that typically carries a lower unit cost than equivalent electric beds. For NHS trusts, community providers, and distributors procuring at volume, this pricing advantage can be significant across a full ward or facility fit-out. Medigear.uk can provide comparative pricing and bulk order terms through the commercial team.

Generous 1950 mm × 900 mm Bed Surface for Mattress Compatibility

The confirmed bed surface of 1950 mm by 900 mm is wider than many standard hospital bed platforms, providing additional lateral stability 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.

Home and Community Care Suitability with Simple Crank Operation

For post-discharge and home care buyers, the BCM5-SMJ02-1 offers a clinically capable five-function bed platform in a format that non-clinical carers can operate without electrical knowledge. Crank mechanisms for height and position adjustment are straightforward to learn during a brief induction, and the absence of motor components reduces long-term maintenance requirements. Medigear.uk supports individual buyers through the delivery, installation, and initial set-up process.

Minimum Height: 420 mm

The BCM5-SMJ02-1 achieves a confirmed minimum frame height of 420 mm in the lowered position. This specification directly supports falls-prevention protocols in acute and rehabilitation settings by minimising the vertical distance between the mattress surface and the floor. At this height, most standard mattress systems will present a sleeping surface of approximately 470–530 mm from floor level, depending on mattress depth.

Maximum Height: 680 mm

At its maximum height of 680 mm, the BCM5-SMJ02-1 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 BCM5-SMJ02-1's 260 mm total height range — 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, via manual crank adjustment, without requiring supplementary equipment.

Backrest Adjustment: 0° to 75°

The BCM5-SMJ02-1 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 adjustment is independent of other articulation functions.

Knee Section Adjustment: 0° to 45°

Knee section elevation from 0° to a confirmed 45° to support slower-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. Adjustment is independent of backrest, height, and tilt positions.

Trendelenburg Range: 0° to 15°

The BCM5-SMJ02-1 provides confirmed Trendelenburg (head-down) tilt from 0° to 15°, exceeding the 12° range of many standard hospital beds and offering clinical teams greater flexibility for haemodynamic management and specific care protocols. The tilt is manually adjusted and lockable at the required angle; locking mechanism specification should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Anti-Trendelenburg Range: 0° to 15°

Confirmed reverse Trendelenburg (head-up) tilt from 0° to 15° is available on the BCM5-SMJ02-1, supporting airway management, reflux prevention, and post-operative recovery positioning. This extended range supports protocols requiring head-of-bed elevation beyond the standard 12° of most hospital beds. Locking mechanism details should be confirmed with Medigear.uk.

Adjustment System: Five-Function Manual Crank

The BCM5-SMJ02-1 is adjusted via manual crank mechanisms covering all five functions. Crank count, handle type, folding or removable configuration, and gear-drive ratio should be confirmed with the Medigear.uk procurement team. The manual system operates without electrical power, making the bed suitable for any care environment and removing motor maintenance from the servicing schedule.

Frame Articulation: Multi-Section Configuration

The BCM5-SMJ02-1 frame is designed in multiple sections to enable independent articulation of the back, seat, knee, and leg regions. 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 BCM5-SMJ02-1 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 and must meet the dimensional and strength requirements of applicable medical device standards.

Head Board and Foot Board: Clinical-Grade Panel Material

The material specifications for the BCM5-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 BCM5-SMJ02-1 measures 1950 mm in length and 900 mm in width, accommodating standard adult mattresses, including anti-decubitus overlays and alternating pressure systems. The 900 mm width provides additional lateral stability and compatibility with wider therapeutic mattress formats. 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 BCM5-SMJ02-1. 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 BCM5-SMJ02-1 Five-Function Manual Hospital Bed delivers a clinically grounded, manually adjustable 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 ward, rehabilitation, home care, and community settings, it addresses the operational requirements of NHS procurement teams, B2B distributors, and individual buyers seeking a reliable five-function platform without electric motor dependency.
