Grace Medy HLE5-RQ05-1

Complex nursing wards benefit from the Grace Medy HLE5-RQ05-1 electric five-function nursing bed's Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt for haemodynamic and respiratory management, as well as the larger 2200 × 1030 mm platform, which provides additional surface area for complex nursing procedures. The 330 mm minimum height supports near-floor-level falls prevention. Medigear.uk supports NHS complex nursing ward procurement teams throughout the specification and approval process.

Intensive care and high-dependency settings benefit from the HLE5-RQ05-1's Trendelenburg function for haemodynamic emergency positioning and reverse Trendelenburg for respiratory patients requiring head elevation beyond standard back lift positioning. The wider 1030 mm frame provides additional working space for clinical procedures alongside the patient, and the lateral turning function supports pressure area management without a full manual patient turn. Medigear.uk can provide specification documentation for procurement assessments in intensive care and HDU.

Pressure care and long-term care settings benefit from the HLE5-RQ05-1's lateral turning and Trendelenburg functions on the larger platform, which provides more repositioning surface for patients with higher body mass or complex positioning needs. The 400 mm height range supports falls prevention at 330 mm and nursing working height at 730 mm. Medigear.uk can provide specification packs for pressure care units and long-term care procurement teams.

Home care settings benefit from the HLE5-RQ05-1's larger platform for patients whose size or care arrangement requires a wider bed surface. The five motor-driven functions allow a family carer or community nurse to manage positioning, pressure care, and respiratory management at home. T—the 0 mm minimum supports fall-risk management. Medigear.uk offers individual buyer consultation and delivery coordination for families arranging complex home nursing provision.

Larger Five-Function Platform: 2200 × 1030 mm for Complex Nursing Needs

The HLE5-RQ05-1 delivers the same five-function clinical specification as the HLE5-XLL-1 within a larger 2200 × 1030 mm frame — 30 mm longer and 30 mm wider — providing additional platform area for larger patients and complex nursing procedures. For NHS procurement officers whose patient population or nursing procedure requirements justify a larger bed footprint within the five-function electric specification, the HLE5-RQ05-1 provides the additional surface area without sacrificing any clinical function. Confirm bay clearance against the 2200 × 1030 mm footprint with the Medigear.uk procurement team before ordering.

Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg at 12° for Haemodynamic and Respiratory Management

The HLE5-RQ05-1 provides motor-driven Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt at 12° (±2°), supporting head-down positioning for haemodynamic management and foot-down positioning for respiratory and aspiration management. This function is present on both the HLE5-RQ05-1 and HLE5-XLL-1 but is not found on any standard two-function or three-function electric bed in the Grace Medy range. For NHS clinical settings that specify Trendelenburg as a required function, both five-function models confirm a 12° tilt. Medigear.uk can confirm the Trendelenburg specification and tilt speed.

330 mm Minimum Height for Near-Floor-Level Falls Prevention

The HLE5-RQ05-1 achieves a minimum platform height of 330 mm — 5 mm lower than the HLE5-XLL-1's 335 mm — providing near-floor-level positioning for patients at the highest assessed falls risk. For NHS nursing wards and care homes operating falls-prevention protocols with a specified maximum bed height for high-risk patients, the 330 mm minimum supports protocol compliance, with a small additional margin over the HLE5-XLL-1. Confirm the exact platform height at the minimum position and any automatic return or alarm features with Medigear.uk.

400 mm Height Range for Complete Clinical Ergonomic Coverage

The HLE5-RQ05-1's 400 mm height range (330–730 mm) covers everything from near-floor-level fall prevention to a 730 mm clinical working height that supports nursing staff ergonomics during complex procedures. The 730 mm maximum is 5 mm higher than the HLE5-XLL-1's 725 mm, providing a fractionally higher working position at maximum extension. For nursing wards with taller staff cohorts or where nursing procedures require a higher working height, the additional 5 mm maximum may be relevant to procurement specifications. Medigear.uk can provide height documentation for ergonomic assessment.

Lateral Turning for Motor-Assisted Pressure Area Repositioning

The HLE5-RQ05-1's lateral turning function provides left and right platform tilt for pressure area offloading, reducing manual handling burden for nursing staff managing patients who cannot self-reposition. On the wider 1030 mm platform, the lateral turning mechanism operates across a greater patient surface width than on the HLE5-XLL-1's 1000 mm frame. For pressure-care governance frameworks that require documented repositioning schedules, motor-assisted lateral turning provides a reliable and quantifiable repositioning method. Confirm the lateral turning range and operating sequence with Medigear.uk.

CE and IEC 60601 Certification for NHS Complex Care and Private Sector Procurement

The HLE5-RQ05-1 carries CE marking under Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC and IEC 60601 series compliance for electric medical beds, satisfying the baseline certification requirements for NHS procurement frameworks, CQC-regulated care settings, and OJEU tendering. Medigear.uk holds the complete declaration of conformity and technical file, available to procurement officers and clinical governance reviewers on request. For distributors building premium electric nursing bed product catalogues, dual CE and IEC 60601 certification supports compliance across NHS and private-sector supply channels.

Beech Wood Head and Foot Boards for Residential Ward Aesthetics

The HLE5-RQ05-1 features beech wood head and foot boards, as shown in the product photograph, matching the premium aesthetic of the HLE5-XLL-1 and providing a warm residential appearance that complements both clinical and non-clinical care environments. For private hospitals, specialist rehabilitation centres, and care homes investing in the quality of the ward environment, the beech wood board specification supports a premium patient environment alongside the full five-function clinical specification. Confirm board material, finish, and colour options with the Medigear.uk procurement team.

Two Five-Function Models: Choosing Between HLE5-RQ05-1 and HLE5-XLL-1

The HLE5-RQ05-1 and HLE5-XLL-1 share the same five-function specification — back 0–70°, leg 0–20°, Trendelenburg 12°, lateral turning, height — with the HLE5-RQ05-1 offering a larger 2200 × 1030 mm frame, 330 mm minimum height, and 730 mm maximum height, versus the HLE5-XLL-1's 2170 × 1000 mm frame with 335 mm minimum and 725 mm maximum. The choice between the two models should be based on patient population, bay clearance, and any dimensional procurement specification. Medigear.uk can provide a full side-by-side comparison to support procurement decisions across both five-function electric nursing bed models.
