Stiegelmeyer Elvido Forto – high safe working load

mouseover for larger image

People in many parts of the world have been becoming taller and heavier for decades now. Care facilities are adjusting to the needs of the new residents. Elvido Forto is a strong partner here. With its safe working load of 260kg, the 100cm wide mattress base and large 125mm castors, it provides comfort and safety for heavier residents.

Key Points of Interest

260 kg safe working load for heavy residents
Mattress base width of 100cm and easy-to-handle bed extension for more space and comfort
Ergonomically beneficial working height of up to 80cm makes care work easier
Large 125mm castors allow easy movement of the bed, even when heavily loaded

Bed extension

mouseover for larger image

The average height of the human body continually increased during the 20th century. Care facilities need to adjust to many extra-tall residents. The Elvido Forto is already meeting this challenge: The Elvido Forto is standardly equipped with a 20cm integrated bed extension. To activate it, only the safety side bars need to be exchanged and extension pieces for the side panels installed. To extend the mattress, Stiegelmeyer offers a suitable mattress extension piece.

The optional telescopic bed extension is even more convenient. The bed frame, safety side bars and panels can be simply extended without needing tools. For the most comfort, an additional extension of the lower leg rest is recommended. This enables the mattress extension piece or a 220cm long mattress to move along with the foot area of the bed when it is being adjusted.

THE HIGH SETTING is ergonomic and gentle on the back.

A bed cannot be high enough for carers; a high bed makes work easier and takes stress off the back, as you avoid bending over to work. Elvido Forto can be raised securely and safely to a stable 81cm patient surface height.

Handset for customised requirements

The Elvido Forto beds are easily operated using a handset. The standard handset displays all adjustment positions with intuitively understandable pictograms. Its rows of buttons can be selectively locked.

Mattress base

The Elvido Forto beds come with the hygiene mattress base for greater comfort when reclining. Made of polypropylene, they can be superbly cleaned which contributes to the overall sanitation in a care facility.

Thanks to deep venting slits, the mattress base is also highly breathable and promotes a healthy micro climate in the bed. The standard version has additional slits along the sides of the backrest for belts.

Accessories

With the many optional accessories, the Elvido Forto can be transformed into a customised bed.

Tramsformer	Battery

24-volt system — economical with low voltage

A safety extra-low voltage of 24 volts can be optionally selected for the Elvido Forto bed. Conversion takes place directly in the mains plug transformer at the mains power plug.

That means that there are no live 240-volt components directly on the bed or on the floor, which results in the highest level of safety for the person needing care. It also reduces electric smog beside the bed.

The 24-volt drive system lowers power consumption up to 93% and saves follow-up costs. The optionally available rechargeable battery makes the care bed independent of the mains power supply and allows it to be used in areas without a power point.

Bed Rails

The standard, full-length safety sides (DSG) at a height of 41cm guard against falls on both sides of the bed.

To safeguard the liberty and mobility of people needing care, the Elvido Forto beds can also be equipped with split safety sides (KSG). If just the head portion of the safety sides is adjusted, the residents are reliably protected, but still can leave the bed without obstacles. The centre support of the split safety sides also serves as a practical mobilisation aid for the resident. When not required, it can be simply removed and stored in a holder under the bed. It is also possible to combine the split safety side on one side with a full-length safety side on the other side of the bed. There are two other options for more independent residents: A head-end safety side which leaves the foot end of the bed basically free.

Side Rails:
DSG – Continuous Side Rail, one side or both
KSG – Combined Side Rail, one side or both
