Arjo’s Minuet 2 Electric Bed with Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg is a well designed and expertly engineered medical bed suitable for home and long term care settings accommodating most users clinical needs. With a thoughtful design the Minuet 2 provides many features which promote good therapeutic outcomes and better comfort. The Pro Contour Advance Profiling in the Minuet 2 bed reduces pressure and shear by expanding the pivot point in the sacral area. This feature enhances comfort and postural stability by decreasing shear and interface pressure. (E Call & L Baker, Journal of Tissue Viability 2007).
The frame is also skillfully constructed to prevent sliding, with its intelligent profiling system the knee break stays elevated until the backrest descends to the same angle before collapsing. In care settings where the user changes positions throughout the day while in bed the need to reposition is greatly reduced with increased overall comfort and reduced strain for the caregivers.
The Trendelenburg function provides adequate mechanical assistance for leg elevation and the Reverse Trendelenburg increases comfort while sitting in a more upright posture, almost like sitting up in a chair. Additionally the Reverse Trendelenburg function can improve respiratory function by opening the airway.
The Minuet 2 offers many optional accessories: side safety rails, full and half length, wooden rails, safety rail padding, lifting pole, IV pole, handset holder, egress assist, pump retainer bracket and a urine bag holder. Mattress retainer clips are supplied with the bed along with a battery backup.
The Minuet is suitable for customers between 90lbs and 319lbs and is expandable from 80″ length to 84″ for taller users. It will accommodate all types of mattresses suitable for electric bed functions within the 35″ x 80″-84″ dimensions (common sizing for medical mattresses)
