Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed

Low-height bed to meet exacting demands



Key Points of Interest


  • The elegant, homelike style of the Elvido beds ensures the residents’ well-being and helps them feel at home. The Elvido bed is very durable (25 year life cycle) and has very low maintenance costs.
     

  • The Elvido bed only utilises auto-retraction of the backrest that swings up and back when the bed profiles. This minimises user migration down the bed during use of the chair position.

  • Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed Vario Safe   Thanks to Vario Safe, this care bed can be adapted continually to suit every personal preference (see video presentation).

    With Vario Safe
    more flexibility and safety

    Beds with Vario Safe fulfil the changing safety needs of residents and their look can be adapted to fit any personal preference. The flexible safety side provides standard compliant protection without restricting the mobility of the person in need of care.

    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed Vario Safe

    All Vario Safe elements are inserted into the bed frame and secured with easy to use locking devices.

    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed Vario Safe

    Simply pull the fastener upward.

    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed Vario Safe

    The fastener snaps into place securely — the element is attached.

    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed Vario Safe

    To release the fastening again, pull the orange safety catch toward you and press the locking device down.

    Choose the Elvido with the split safety side or without a safety side and benefit from our flexible Vario Safe system. The Vario Safe principle is as simple as it is impressive: The safety side elements, headboards, footboards and side panels can be attached and removed without tools. This is possible thanks to easy-to-use fasteners that snap into place securely and cannot be accidentally operated by the resident.

    Headboards and footboards can be delivered on request with attractive fabric or imitation leather upholstery. Beds with Vario Safe can be adapted to the changing needs of residents in just a few minutes.

    On request, nursing homes can order their beds in a basic version and add further parts at a later date.


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed Vario Safe



  • A unique safe 24 Volt DC Linak drive system is standard with the bed. Having the 240 volts isolated, away from the bed and only safe 24 Volts DC at the bed ensures a safer environment for residents and maintenance staff.

    Strong advantages
    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed
    • Safety extra-low voltage starting from the transformer at the power socket
       
    • No 230-volt components on the bed
       
    • The optional rechargeable battery makes the care bed independent of the mains power supply in an emergency
       
    Stiegelmeyer Libra Bed

    The external transformer unit produces a safe extra-low voltage directly at the power socket.

    A high level of safety, significantly reduced electricity costs and effortless operation: The optional 24-volt system is an attractive choice for the Elvido bed.

    A transformer plug supplies a 24-volt safety extra-low voltage directly at the power socket. There are therefore no components carrying 230 volts anywhere in the vicinity of the resident, which means that he or she enjoys a higher level of safety.

    Power consumption drops by up to 93%. There is a floor-mounted power pack available to use the 24-volt system with international mains plugs.

    The Elvido is equipped with a reliable 230-volt drive system as standard. With matching selectable mains plugs, it is therefore ready for international use wherever it is needed.



  • Always the right height — The lowest bed height is 25cm (suitable for Falls-risk clients) and the highest bed height is 80cm (ensuring that nurses of different heights are not compromising their backs)


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed Vario Safe

    Mobilisation & ergonomics — Always at the right height for ease of movement


    Getting up and getting into bed are particularly problematic moments in the day of a person in need of care. On the one hand, we want the resident to make these movements independently for as long as this is possible. On the other hand, these are precisely the situations that involve a high risk of falling. Cognitive limitations, reduced muscle mass, a weaker sense of balance or side effects of medicines can unsettle older people.


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed low

    With its lowest position of approx. 25cm, the Elvido bed supports efficient fall prevention without restricting the mobility of the resident.

    With their large, stepless height adjustment range, the Elvido range beds assist residents and carers alike. Falls can never be prevented with absolute certainty, but, particularly with the low-height Elvido vervo bed, the risk of injury at the lowest position is significantly reduced.

    This often means that liberty-restricting measures such as restraint systems or full-length safety sides can be dispensed with as a result.

    The optimal ergonomic height for getting in and out of bed can be adjusted as required using the handset. For many people, this is below 40 cm — the feet then make good contact with the floor and the proprioreceptors are stimulated. At the maximum height of approximately 80 cm, care staff can work with a straight back and thus protect their health.


    ESSENTIALLY BETTER

    Infinitely adjustable
    • Effortless adjustment to the best ergonomic position for getting in and out of bed with the handset
       
    • Easier mobilisation of residents

  • The benefits of a comfortable armchair position.


    Comfort and mattress bases With the joie de vivre of a hotel room



    Elvido is designed to make those in need of care feel safe and secure. One of its main features that make it so is the precise way it can be adjusted to meet every individual need. Sitting in a comfortable position to watch TV or talking to another person at eye level — this, and more, is possible with Elvido. Elvido can be brought into a reverse-Trendelenburg position of up to 16°, its backrest raised to up to 70° and the thigh rest raised to up to 40°, which means that it can easily be transformed into a comfortable armchair.


    The benefit of the armchair position

    In addition to assisting in the prevention of pressure areas, it also reduces the manual handling for both the resident and staff (reducing the risk of injury).

    Stiegelmeyer Libra Bed chair position
    • assistance in the prevention of pressure areas (plus other health benefits),
    • injury prevention for both the resident and staff (less manual handling),
    • allows the resident to move from a lying position to a seated position without needing to be transferred,
    • allows the resident to sit up and interact with their environment.

    This makes it much easier for residents to join in with everyday activities. With an optional handset Libra can also be brought into a Trendelenburg position whenever necessary.



  • The Elvido hygiene mattress base, supplied as standard (High SWL: 225kg).


    Mattress bases The basis for healthy and restful sleep


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed hygiene base The hygiene mattress base is easy to remove and thoroughly clean by hand.


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed comfort base Comfort mattress base — flexibly supported base components with pivot springs


    Stiegelmeyer Libra Bed hygiene base If the use of patient restraints is unavoidable, the cut-outs in the hygiene mattress base can be used for securing belts.


    Healthy and restful sleep


    The Elvido hygiene mattress base, supplied as standard, makes thorough bed reprocessing particularly easy. Deep venting slits in the polypropylene promote a healthy microclimate in the bed and beneficial sleep. All types of special mattress can usually be used without an underlay mattress, so that the safety sides are still high enough to ensure proper protection.

    There is also a comfort mattress base available, which has even better characteristics. This comprises 30 flexibly supported basecomponents with 80 pivot springs of varying stiffness. The comfort mattress base adjusts exactly to the contours of the body and improves the pressure-reducing effect of the mattress. The comfort mattress base is slightly higher than traditional models, so you will need to check whether the protection height of the safety sides is sufficient in combination with your mattress.



  • Elvido’s mattress base extension, improves the comfort of tall residents.


    Bed extension More room and comfort for residents in just a few easy steps


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed extension

    The gap can be closed with filler pieces, if desired.

    If the bed does not have safety sides along the entire length, then the integrated bed extension can be used without any further accessories. The gap in the side panels at the foot end is standard-compliant.


    The user-friendly bed extension for the Elvido range improves the comfort of tall residents. All of the models are equipped with an integrated 20 cm extension of the bed frame as standard. If the bed has no safety sides or has safety sides only at the head end, this extension can be used, whenever required, without any further fittings. If safety sides are needed along the entire length of the bed, longer bars can be supplied.

    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed boldter extension

    A mattress piece, which remains fixed in position, can be inserted when the mattress base is extended.

    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed extend pieces

    The lower leg rest extension can be hooked into place, without needing to use tools. A corresponding mattress piece is available.


    The optional telescopic bed extension is even more convenient. This allows the bed frame, safety side bars and side panels to be easily extended without using any tools.

    We offer two options for extending the mattress base. The first is a mattress piece that always remains securely fixed in its position at the foot end. The second is an extension of the lower leg rest, which moves with the leg rest when adjustments are made. This allows even tall people to use the bed in a health-promoting position with the legs raised.

    Chassis with harmonious lines


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed chassis cover

    The optional cover matches the decor colour of the bed.

    The customisable wooden surround and the chassis give the Elvido range beds a cosy feel. The ends of its longitudinal struts are fitted with four plastic covers as standard. With their silver-grey colour, they exactly match the tone of the chassis. The covers encase mechanical parts and make the lines of the bed more harmonious. Additionally, the smoother surface can be cleaned even more easily and thoroughly. If required, the plastic elements can be removed without the use of tools.

    Upon request, more complete covering is available. The two plastic elements cover the entire front faces of the chassis and can be supplied in many homelike wood decor colours. Those who only need a covering for the headboard or the footboard can also just order a single element. The decor cover conceals the technical parts of the care bed, giving it a particularly homelike appearance. It is also easy to clean and remove.

    Innovative operating concept Handset for customised requirements



    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed

    The most convenient version is the optional LCD handset with only 3 buttons, EasyCare and a backlit display.


    The Elvido is operated using one of a selection of handsets. The most convenient version is the optional LCD handset with only 3 buttons, EasyCare and a backlit display. It has 3 control levels: for residents, care staff and technicians. The levels can be unlocked and set with the help of a magnet on the bed.

    The standard handset displays all the adjustment positions with simple pictograms. The button rows can be selectively locked. A separate Trendelenburg handset is available for quickly moving the bed into the Trendelenburg position; this ensures that the resident cannot mistake this function for the reverse-Trendelenburg position.


    ESSENTIALLY BETTER

    EasyCare relieves the strain on care staff
    • The LCD handset contains three control levels: for residents, care staff and technicians.
       
    • Care staff can block certain adjustment functions for the residents.
       
    • With the EasyCare function, these functions can be used at the care staff level without changing the blocking status for the resident. This saves care staff a lot of time and increases the level of safety.

  • The 3-stage telescopic safety sides are the ideal balance between protection and freedom.


    Split safety sides — Individual safety in every function


    ESSENTIALLY BETTER

    Standard-compliant protection
    • In a mattress base measuring 200 cm, the split safety side on each side consists of a 110 cm and a 90cm long element.
       
    • These elements can be used interchangeably at the head and foot ends.
       
    • If the 110 cm element is attached at the head end, it covers more than 50% of the mattress base and is therefore also a standard-compliant safety side on its own.
       
    • The 90 cm element does not offer standardcompliant protection, but it provides support and plenty of room to get in and out of bed.
       
    • If the bed extension is used, two 110 cm elements can be attached.
       

    The Vario Safe system is available with the Elvido for the split safety side. This enables very precise settings to be made that are closely tailored to the changing needs of the resident.

    The individual elements of the split safety side can be raised in two stages. In the first stage, they provide the occupant with support and orientation, and in the second stage, they provide reliable protection. A diagonal position also ensures a good feeling of safety. If the patient is able to leave the bed whenever they like, we recommend only raising the safety sides at the head end. In this case, the foot-end elements can also be removed and replaced by homelike panels. The streamlined wood-metal appearance of the safety side ensures excellent hygiene properties.

    The split safety side can be raised and locked securely into place in one easy movement. The elements are lowered again by pressing the release buttons under the bars.

  • Digital assistance systems are a modern solution — “e-help”


    e-help — Digital assistance systems


    Stiegelmeyer Elvido Bed ehelp

    A visual & acoustic signal is also activated in the care room

    If the resident leaves the bed,
    the system notifies the care staff
    via a signal light in the corridor,
    for example, or an acoustic alarm
    in the duty room.

    Digital assistance systems are a modern solution for reducing liberty-depriving measures, protecting residents and at the same time supporting care staff, especially during night shifts. Under the name “e-help”, Stiegelmeyer is constantly developing these systems further.

    The focus here is on the Out-of-Bed system. A load sensor in the backrest registers when a resident gets out of bed. The system also has an optional feature that immediately switches on an under bed light or the reading lamp for better orientation in the dark. After a specified time interval, it notifies the care staff via the existing in-house call system.

    The Out-of-Bed system can be operated very easily with a handset.

    The Out-of-Bed system

    • Orientation with the optional under bed light
       
    • Significantly reduced risk of falls at night without the need for restraints
       
    • Care staff are notified after a set time of between 15 seconds and 15 minutes, which avoids frequent false alarms immediately after someone gets out of bed
       
    • Immediate support for residents who are susceptible to falls
