PRONING BED

摘要

A bed ( 10 ) includes a base ( 12 ) and a frame assembly ( 14 ). A head end support assembly ( 16 ) and a foot end support assembly ( 18 ) are coupled between the base ( 12 ) and the frame assembly ( 14 ). The frame assembly ( 14 ) includes first and second side frame members ( 80, 82 ) located above the base ( 12 ). The bed ( 10 ) also includes a plurality of latch mechanisms ( 160 ) coupled to the first and second side frame members ( 80, 82 ), and a patient support surface ( 162 ) configured to be coupled to the first and second side frame members ( 80, 82 ) by the plurality of latch mechanisms ( 160 ). A rotational drive mechanism ( 130 ) is coupled to the foot end support assembly ( 18 ) to rotate the frame assembly ( 14 ) about its longitudinal axis to a prone position. A proning surface ( 250 ) is coupled to the frame assembly ( 14 ) to support a patient in the prone position.
