Best Hospital Bed Models for Bed Sores and Skin Ulcers
Hospital beds made to treat and prevent bed sores are beds
made with air mattress systems built into the bed frame. This is
the ideal way to get a medical bed with a mattress built in because
“the bed frame and the mattress work together giving the patient
maximum movement of the bed”. What these means is that when
the bed moves the mattress knows what position and sections of
the mattress deflate to give the patient maximum movement in bed.

A “replacement air mattress” is an option but not as ideal because
the mattress does not know when the bed is moving and it does not
deflate along creases and section of the bed and limits the amount
of movement the hospital bed can perform. Air mattress beds and
the air mattress provide more pressure redistribution than standard
foam mattresses and are an ideal surface for bed sore treatment
and prevention. We carry a wide range of hospital bed models that
are some of the best bed models used in hospitals around the
United States for wound care and bed sore treatment and prevention.
The NUMBER 1 THING the hospital beds with built in air mattresses
provide to a patient is a full range of movement the bed provides
including a “chair position that sits the person upright.
Medical beds with a built in air mattress system are referred to
as “acute care beds” and also intensive care beds also referred to
as “ICU” beds. These beds are ideal for wound care management
and bed sore prevention and recovery.
The best beds offered for patients with bed sores and skin ulcers include:
1. Hill Rom TotalCare Sport “Connect 2” medical bed.
This hospital includes a low air loss mattress that runs a layer of air
conditioned air over the top of the mattress pad. It also includes
“lateral rotation” which is a mattress that will automatically turn the
patient and thus relieve a caregiver or nurse from having to keep moving
the patient manually. Other features the Hill Rom Totalcare Sport 2 bed
offers is a full chair position and also a feature referred to as
“percussion – vibration”, which helps break up lung congestion. These beds
sell new for over $50,000. Hospital Direct Medical sells this bed model
for $8,500 refurbished and professionally serviced.
2. Hill Rom TotalCare Sport 2 Bed
This is the older bed frame which Hill Rom started the P1900 Totalcare
bed with the low air loss feature added just before they went into
the TotalCare Sport “Connect 2 bed model. This bed is priced at $5,500.
3. Stryker 2141 InTouch Hospital Bed
This hospital bed is Strykers version of an ICU acute care bed with a
built in air mattress system with low air loss, percussion, vibration
and a “lateral rotation” mattress which once again helps turn the
patient with the bed system automatically. The Stryker “InTouch”
hospital bed also sits into a chair position and sits the patient upright
however it is not designed to transition the patient from that position.
The Stryker InTouch 2141 bed model is priced at $3,995.00

Hospital beds and resources on bed sores, skin ulcers, pressure wounds and
wound care management.
Pressure sores are areas of damaged skin caused by staying in one position for too long. They commonly form where your bones are close to your skin, such as your ankles, back, elbows, heels and hips. You are at risk if you are bedridden, use a wheelchair, or are unable to change your position. Pressure sores can cause serious infections, some of which are life-threatening. They can be a problem for people in nursing homes.
You can prevent the sores by
- Keeping skin clean and dry
- Changing position every two hours
- Using pillows and products that relieve pressure
