Why Choose the SPAN Advantage Bed?
Care teams get a manufacturer-backed bed here, with the family's own configuration range for the setting it will work in, starting from Bed, Advantage Elec 80". The manufacturer rates it at 500 lbs, and the 6 configurations here cover the range this family serves.
- One bed, several care levels – configurations add mobility, locks, scale and expansion – the room does not need a new bed when needs change (Bed, Advantage Elec 80" to Bed, Elec Advantage 80")
- Low height, safer transfers – the deck lowers close to the floor – fall-risk residents transfer with less lift (6 configurations here)
- Staff controls at the foot end – named configurations put controls where caregivers stand – positioning changes happen without waking the resident (sold as EA/1, first SKU QD1000MLFB, 6 configurations)
