1️⃣ Three Independent Adjustable Functions

A true 3-Function bed lets you adjust these key sections:

???? Backrest Adjustment

• Allows elevation from flat to upright (Fowler) position.

• Can be controlled:

  • Manually (crank/ratchet)

  • Motorized (remote/panel)

• Helps with sitting up, feeding, reading, breathing, and pressure relief.

???? Leg/Footrest Adjustment

• Raises the lower part of the bed to support legs and reduce swelling.

• Improves comfort and circulatory relief.

• Works independently or in coordination with backrest.

???? Height or Tilt Adjustment

Depending on the model, the third function is usually:

1. Overall height adjustment — raise/lower entire bed for easier care,

2. Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg — tilt the bed up/down for therapeutic purposes.
