A dialysis session runs for several hours, so the patient’s position has to change without effort. The hemodialysis bed from Amel Construction pairs a gas-strut backrest with a manually retracted leg section. The Trendelenburg position is also gas-strut assisted. The mattress base measures 200 × 90 cm at 55 cm from the floor. It rolls on four 100 mm castors, two of them braked. Four bumpers protect the ward walls, and head and foot panels come in laminated board or ABS.
