Saikang V3k

NHS General Medical Wards

The V3k's power-free three-function hand crank operation, foldable side rail, stamped platform, and covered castors address the core positioning, safety, and infection control requirements of NHS general medical wards at an economical procurement price point. The protection device provides passive repositioning safety without adding electronic complexity or ongoing maintenance obligations to the ward.

Long-Term Care and Rehabilitation

For long-term care and rehabilitation settings where backrest, knee-rest, and height adjustment cover all routine positioning needs, the V3k provides reliable power-free operation without maintenance overhead. The central locking castors and foldable side rail support safe patient management across extended inpatient stays and multi-patient rehabilitation environments.

Large-Volume and Cost-Constrained NHS Procurement

The V3k's CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certification, power-free operation, and more economical price point relative to the V3v Grace Care series make it well suited to high-volume NHS general ward procurement where cost efficiency is a primary evaluation criterion alongside clinical compliance.

Private Hospital General Ward Use

The V3k's CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certification, Baosteel-grade construction, and Panasonic-welded frame meet the durability and compliance standards of private hospital general ward environments where a cost-efficient manual bed is appropriate alongside higher-specification configurations.

Community and Step-Down Care Settings

The V3k's power-free operation, standard foldable rail, and reliable three-function hand crank system make it suitable for community nursing and step-down care settings where the simplicity and power independence of a manual bed configuration are operationally advantageous.

For NHS Trusts and Ward Procurement Teams

The V3k carries CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certification. Medigear.uk provides full documentation for NHS tender submissions, infection control assessments, and framework-based capital equipment procurement. The V3k delivers reliable three-function manual positioning with audible protection device, covered castors, stamped platform, mattress retainer, and IV pole in a power-free, economical configuration suited to NHS general ward procurement where the V3v Grace Care premium is not required across the entire bed estate.

For Private Hospitals and Independent Clinical Settings

The V3k's CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certification, Panasonic-welded Baosteel frame, one-year warranty, one percent free spare parts, and Medigear.uk UK supply support provide the compliance and operational continuity requirements of private hospital environments. The V3k functions as the economical manual bed option alongside the V3v and higher-specification electric configurations in mixed-acuity private ward estates.

For Medical Equipment Distributors

The V3k's SK-CD1 model code, three-function manual operation, audible protection device, covered castors, and full CE, FDA, and ISO13485 certification position it as the economical variant in the SK-CD1 family — below the V3v Grace Care series but above the V2k two-function bed. This tiered configuration within the SK-CD1 family supports NHS and private hospital procurement programmes requiring multiple manual bed specifications at different price points from a single certified supplier.

Three Retractable Hand Cranks with Protection Device

Three retractable hand cranks control backrest, knee-rest, and height adjustment independently. An extreme protection device emits an audible alert at the maximum tipping position, providing passive safety feedback during repositioning without electronic components.

Standard Foldable Side Rail

The foldable side rail clears completely for nursing access and provides patient protection during repositioning and assisted bed exit — the economical alternative to the V3v ProErgo-Handle tuck-away rail for wards where the premium ergonomic handle is not required.

Stamped Platform with Mattress Retainer

The stamping-formed platform provides a smooth, weld-free surface rated to 200 kg. The integrated mattress retainer prevents mattress displacement during repositioning, supporting patient safety and infection control decontamination standards.

Covered Castors with Central Locking

Five-inch covered castors with TPR tyres and central locking maintain stable braked positioning during nursing procedures. The covered design protects the castor mechanism, and Φ65mm bumper wheels protect surrounding ward surfaces.

Power-Free and Economical Operation

The V3k operates entirely without electricity — no motors, no control systems, no power dependency. This makes it a cost-efficient and operationally reliable option for NHS general ward procurement at a more economical price point than electric or premium manual bed configurations.

Standard IV and Drainage Provision

An IV pole with four hooks and drainage hooks are standard. The Baosteel-grade frame uses eleven-stage epoxy painting with ASTM antibacterial coating and Panasonic Robotic smooth welding throughout.

The Saikang V3k Manual Bed (SK-CD1) delivers three retractable hand cranks with audible extreme protection device, standard foldable side rail, stamped platform rated to 200 kg with integrated mattress retainer, five-inch covered castors with central locking and Φ65mm bumper wheels, power-free backrest adjustment to 70°, knee-rest to 38°, height adjustment from 420–730mm, standard IV pole with four hooks, drainage hooks, and Baosteel-grade frame with eleven-stage epoxy and Panasonic Robotic welding — all in a CE, FDA, and ISO13485-certified three-function manual hospital bed at 420–730 × 2130 × 995 mm for NHS general wards, rehabilitation units, long-term care, and economical ward procurement.
