A double crank mattress refers to a mattress designed for use with a double crank hospital bed, which is a bed equipped with two manual cranks. These cranks are typically located at the foot of the bed and allow caregivers or patients to adjust both the upper body (backrest) and the leg section of the bed for better comfort and positioning.
The mattress used for such beds is specially designed to be compatible with the bed’s adjustable sections. It usually has foldable or segmented sections that align with the bed’s movable parts to ensure patient comfort and proper support while the bed is being adjusted.
These mattresses are commonly used in:
- Hospitals
- Nursing homes
- Home care settings
They are ideal for patients who need frequent repositioning to reduce the risk of pressure sores or improve overall comfort, especially for those with limited mobility or recovering from surgery.
