Vanry WRA I I

Intensive care, coronary care and acute medical units are the settings the named positions describe. Respiratory therapy positioning, a cardiac chair that brings a patient upright without a transfer, lateral tilt for repositioning and personal care, Trendelenburg for circulatory support and an electric CPR position together describe a bed built for patients under close monitoring, where posture is part of treatment and the bed is used by many staff across a week.

The 950 mm top height suits units where procedures happen at the bedside. Line insertion, wound care, examination and assisted physiotherapy all go better at a working height that keeps staff upright, and the examination position gives a consistent posture for them. Coronary care and cardiology wards, where patients are assessed repeatedly and positioned for breathing, are a natural fit.

The same figure has a counterpart to consider. A lowest height of 550 mm makes the bed a poor choice where the main clinical concern is falls from bed, and a high sitting position for shorter patients getting out of bed. Units with those patients should confirm the reference point for the height range and, where it does not suit, ask the seller to point to a different specification. The bed should not be assumed suitable for children or adults of small stature, and its rails and lateral tilt bring the MHRA's 2023 National Patient Safety Alert on entrapment and falls into every allocation.

Formal purchasing will turn on documents before it turns on features. Framework routes and private hospital tenders will ask for the legal manufacturer, the UK Responsible Person, the application environment, the standard edition, the safe working load and the rail gap data. The conformity documentation those procurement routes require is issued by the manufacturer and provided by the seller.

Two Evidence-Based Angles, Each One Exact

The backrest stops at 30° and at 45°, the two angles ventilator care guidance works with. Teams choose the angle that fits each patient's balance of pneumonia risk and skin risk, and the bed returns to it precisely after every wash, turn or procedure.

Alarms That Cover Three Failure Points

Patient exit, side-rail release and castor release each trigger their own alarm. Staff hear about a wandering patient, an open side or an unbraked bed the moment it happens, which gives falls prevention and safe transfers real support on a busy unit.

One Screen for the Whole Bed

The foot-end touch screen brings movements and presets together on a single, clear panel. Staff find the right control quickly, and new team members learn the bed quickly because everything starts from one place.

Sitting Up Properly

The knee fold-down drops the legs by up to 30° while the backrest rises, creating a true chair posture in bed. Patients breathe, eat and talk with visitors from a supported upright position, which helps the day feel like progress.

Resuscitation Without Hesitation

Electric CPR flattens the platform from one key, and the manual release works even without power. One-key emergency Trendelenburg and an emergency stop give the team decisive control in the first seconds of an emergency.

Gentle Turns and Automatic Positioning

Lateral tilt to 15° each side starts every turn with the patient already rolling towards the nurse. The automatic lateral therapy mode keeps positioning going between visits, day and night.

Weights at the Bedside

The integrated scale weighs the patient without a hoist or transfer. Fluid balance and nutrition reviews can use a fresh weight every day with lines and drains left undisturbed.

A Quick Way Back to Neutral

The reset function returns the bed from any combination of angles to a known starting position. After a procedure or an emergency, staff have a single route back to baseline.

Height for Every Task

Height adjustment from 540 to 940 mm brings the platform low for safe patient exit and high for procedures at the bedside. Every member of the team can set a working height that protects their back.

Backrest Stops at 30° and 45°

Two position stops hold the backrest at the angles ventilator care protocols use. The angle indicator confirms the setting at a glance.

Foot-End Touch Screen

A touch screen panel at the foot end gives staff central control of movements and presets. It sits at a natural height for anyone standing at the end of the bed.

Side-Rail Keypads

Keypads built into the side rails put controls within reach on both sides. Staff can adjust the bed without walking round it.

Patient Exit, Side-Rail and Castor Alarms

Three independent alarms monitor bed exit, rail release and castor braking. Each one targets a specific everyday risk.

Backrest to 65° with Auto-Regression

The backrest rises to 65° (±5°) and moves back as it lifts, which is designed to reduce sliding and shear. Patients stay positioned where the care plan intends.

Knee Rest with Fold-Down

The knee rest rises to 25° (±5°) and folds down to 30° (±5°). This range delivers the chair and cardiac chair postures as well as knee support in bed.

Multi-Position Calf Section and Linked Movement

The calf section adjusts to several positions, and one control raises the backrest and knee rest together. Patients reach a comfortable seated posture in a single smooth movement.

Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg to 15°

The whole platform tilts head-down or head-up to 15° (±2°). The movement supports shock management, venous access and breathing.

Lateral Tilt to 15° Each Side

The platform tilts from 0 to 15° (±2°) to the left or right. It supports turning, wound care and lateral positioning.

Automatic Lateral Therapy

The ALT function rotates the patient on a programmed cycle. Positioning continues between manual interventions and can be set to the unit's protocol.

Cardiac Chair, Chair and Clinical Presets

Presets deliver cardiac chair, chair, examination, respiratory therapy, one-key vascular and patient-exit positions. Staff reach consistent postures quickly, whatever their experience.

Electric and Manual CPR

Electric CPR flattens the platform from a single key, and a manual release offers a mechanical route to the same position. Both are built for the first seconds of an arrest.

Emergency Trendelenburg, Emergency Stop and Reset

One key takes the patient head-down, the emergency stop halts all movement, and the reset function returns the bed to its starting position. Each gives staff clear control under pressure.

Integrated Weighing Scale

The built-in scale weighs the patient on the bed. It supports daily weights, fluid balance and nutrition monitoring without a transfer.

Height Range from 540 to 940 mm

Electric height adjustment covers 540 to 940 mm (±20 mm). The bed goes low for exits and high for procedures.

Electric Platform Extension

The platform extends electrically to support tall patients along their full length. It retracts again for standard use.

Backup Battery, Night Light and Status Indicators

A backup battery, a night light, a lowest-position indicator, a power indicator and a patient data record complete the specification. Staff see the bed's status clearly by day and by night.

Vanry publishes the size and names eight positions on the WRA I I, and the 950 mm top height gives staff a proper working level for bedside procedures. For a UK buyer, though, the paperwork decides whether this bed can be bought at all. Before order, obtain the declaration of conformity naming the legal manufacturer, the UK Responsible Person, the certified application environment, the standard edition tested to, the safe working load, the rail gap data and tilt angles, the function of the foot-board display and the red base component, battery backup, and the exact ordering code. Medigear.uk lists the WRA I I for UK business buyers and can arrange delivery, installation, commissioning, familiarisation and service cover. Request the declaration of conformity, the instructions for use and the rail gap data from the seller at quotation.
