Why Choose the SPAN Encore Bed?
This bed gives care teams a manufacturer-backed option in the Hi-Low Hospital Beds category, with the configuration range to match the setting it will work in, from Bed, Encore W/Glidealign Expanders to Bed, Encore W/Preinstall Exp/Batt Backup Mchltc. The manufacturer rates it at 600 lbs, and the 4 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, Encore W/Glidealign Expanders to Bed, Encore W/Preinstall Exp/Batt Backup Mchltc)
- Low height, safer transfers – the deck lowers close to the floor – fall-risk residents transfer with less lift (4 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 MC9RWB, 4 configurations)
