Saikang CR2q

The Saikang CR2q serves paediatric wards, infant admission units, and postnatal observation bays across NHS trusts and private children's hospitals. Its primary application is inpatient accommodation for infants and younger toddlers who require both full lateral enclosure and manual positional adjustment — a combination not provided by fixed-platform cots such as the CR0q. The dual crank system allows nursing teams to adjust backrest and knee-rest positions for feeding, respiratory management, and post-procedural comfort without requiring the patient to leave the bed or nursing staff tto support the patient's position over extended periods manually

In paediatric medical wards managing infants with respiratory conditions, including bronchiolitis and viral wheeze, and post-operative airway management, the CR2q's 75° backrest adjustment supports the semi-recumbent and upright positions that improve respiratory mechanics in young patients. The enclosed rail design ensures the infant remains on the sleeping surface when placed in an elevated position, removing the fall risk associated with a raised backrest in an open-sided bed. Nursing teams can adjust the crank position without opening the rails, maintaining the enclosure throughout the procedure.

For paediatric surgical day-stay units managing infant and toddler patients following short procedures under general anaesthesia, the CR2q provides a safe recovery surface with the positional flexibility needed to manage post-anaesthetic airway positioning, feeding reintroduction, and parental comfort care. The enclosed design is valuable during the post-anaesthetic period, when an infant's coordination is reduced, and the risk of rolling or sudden movement is elevated. IV pole provisions and drainage hooks support the infusion and drainage management requirements of the immediate post-operative period.

In postnatal wards caring for neonates with feeding difficulties or transitional care needs, the CR2q's backrest adjustment supports positioning for nasogastric and oral feeding attempts. In contrast,e the knee-rest adjustment accommodates comfort positioning during prolonged feeding sessions. The 1600 × 680 mm mattress platform is sized for the neonate-to-toddler age range. Medigear.uk distributes the CR2q to paediatric departments and postnatal units across the UK.

Full-Enclosure Rails with Positional Adjustment

The CR2q uniquely combines full-enclosure side rails — appropriate for infants who require complete lateral containment — with dual manual crank adjustment of back-rest and knee-rest positions. This combination is not available in the CR0q (full enclosure, no adjustment) or the CX2x (adjustment, but open-sided rails). The CR2q fills this clinical need for enclosed positional flexibility.

Back-Rest to 75° for Feeding and Respiratory Support

The 75° ± 10° back-rest range supports near-sitting positions for infant feeding, respiratory physiotherapy, and comfortable observation during waking periods. The enclosed rail design ensures the infant remains safe within the sleeping surface at all back-rest angles, removing the fall risk associated with elevated positioning in open-sided beds.

Knee-Rest to 35° for Lower-Limb Positioning

Independent knee-rest adjustment to 35° ± 10° supports lower-limb elevation for post-procedural orthopaedic comfort, oedema management, and comfort during extended admissions. When combined with back-rest adjustment, the CR2q supports the semi-Fowler position used in infant medical and surgical nursing.

Anti-Slip Bed Foot Covers for Crank Stability

Four anti-slip foot covers are fitted to the bed frame legs, preventing bed movement on smooth ward floors during crank operation. Without anti-slip protection, the rotational force of crank adjustment can cause the bed to shift position on polished or vinyl surfaces, creating a safety risk during nursing procedures. The covers are removable for cleaning.

Integrated Bed Ends Completing Full Enclosure

Integrated head and foot boards incorporate a safe-lock mechanism, completing the four-sided enclosure. The integrated design prevents the unintended absence of a bed end and eliminates the gap risk associated with removable boards. Boards present smooth surfaces compatible with standard hospital disinfectants.

Compact 1600 × 680 mm Platform for Infant and Toddler Patients

The mattress platform is sized for the neonate-to-toddler age range, fitting within constrained postnatal bay and paediatric bay configurations without over-specifying the bed for older patients. The platform length of 1600 mm accommodates the full length of a toddler patient with appropriate head and foot clearance within the enclosed frame.

CE-Marked for NHS Procurement

CE marking under MDD 93/42/EEC and compliance with EN 60601, ISO-9001, and ISO-13485 provide the audit trail required for NHS trust procurement, clinical engineering sign-off, and MHRA registration. Medigear.uk supplies the Declaration of Conformity and full ISO certificate set at the point of enquiry.

Shoe Holder — Ward Organisation Feature

A shoe holder is included as a standard accessory, allowing family members' footwear to be stored tidily at the bedside without taking up floor space or creating a trip hazard in the bay. This practical detail reflects Saikang's attention to the ward environment in family-facing paediatric settings.

ABS Components Sterilisable Above 100°C

All plastic components are manufactured from virgin environmental ABS, sterilisable at temperatures above 100°C, supporting terminal decontamination between patient admissions in paediatric and postnatal environments with high infection-control requirements.

Fixed Bed Height: 600 mm

The CR2q maintains a fixed height of 600 mm from floor to mattress platform, providing a consistent working height for infant care procedures. The fixed-height design simplifies the frame structure, eliminates maintenance of the height-adjustment mechanism, and removes the risk of height being left at an unsafe level between nursing assessments.

Backrest Adjustment: 75° ± 10°

A dedicated retractable manual crank controls backrest elevation to 75°. The range supports upright infant sitting for feeding and physiotherapy, semi-recumbent positioning for respiratory management, and flat rest for sleep. Adjustment is smooth and continuous across the full range.

Knee-Rest Adjustment: 35° ± 10°

Knee-rest elevation to 35° operates independently via a second retractable manual crank. Combined with backrest adjustment, this supports the semi-Fowler and modified-Fowler positions used in infant medical and surgical nursing. Cranks retract flush with the frame when not in use.

Full-Length Side Rails (1 set, both sides)

Full-length side rails run the complete length of the mattress platform on both sides, locking positively in the raised position to create a continuous enclosed sleeping environment. Rails lower for caregiver access and re-lock securely after each nursing episode.

Integrated Bed Ends (1 set)

Head and foot boards are integrated into the frame with a safe-lock mechanism, completing the four-sided enclosure. Boards are smooth, rounded, and compatible with standard hospital disinfectants. The safe-lock prevents detachment during patient transfer or bed repositioning.

Anti-Slip Bed Foot Covers (4 pcs)

Four removable anti-slip covers are fitted to the frame leg bases, stabilising the bed against floor movement during crank operation. The covers are compatible with standard ward floor types, including vinyl, linoleum, and ceramic tile, and are removable for cleaning.

IV Pole (1 pc) and IV Pole Provision (4 pcs)

One adjustable IV pole is supplied as standard with four provision sockets around the frame for flexible positioning relative to the infant's IV access site and nursing approach angle. IV pole height adjusts to maintain the correct administration height as the backrest angle changes.

Drainage Hooks (2 pcs)

Two drainage hooks accommodate urine drainage bags and wound drain collectors, maintaining correct dependent height as backrest and knee-rest positions are adjusted during nursing care.

Shoe Holder (1 pc)

One shoe holder is included as standard, providing bedside storage for family footwear without taking up overhead space or creating trip hazards in the paediatric bay. The holder attaches securely to the bed frame.

Epoxy Paint: ASTM Antibacterial, 0.12 mm

The 11-stage epoxy paint process meets ASTM antibacterial standards at 0.12 mm thickness, 60° brightness, and 50 kg impact resistance, maintaining its antibacterial properties under standard ward cleaning regimes.

ABS Components: Sterilisable Above 100°C, Tensile ≤30 MPa

Virgin environmental ABS plastic components withstand sterilisation above 100°C without degradation, with tensile strength up to 30 MPa, supporting terminal decontamination between admissions.

Panasonic Robotic Welding, 360° Seamless

The bed frame uses Panasonic robotic welding with 360° seamless welds throughout, providing long-term structural integrity under daily loading, positional adjustment, and ward transport forces.

12-Month Warranty with Free Spare Parts

The standard 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects with free parts and repair support. One per cent of the order value in spare parts is supplied with each order. Post-warranty technical support is free; parts are charged at cost. Medigear.uk manages all warranty and spare parts logistics for UK customers.
