TRENDELENBURGANDREVERSETRENDELENBURGPOSITION
The Bariatric Bed has been designed so that both Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg
positions can be achieved by adjusting the drive shaft and using the pendant hand controller
hi/lo functions. Often used with patients who have a history of low blood pressure or shock, or
in post surgery situations requiring reductions in abdominal anomalies, the positions allow the
patient to lie prone with either the feet raised on angle or head end raised without knees bent.
Physician approval is recommended before using the feature.
