Congratulations on your purchase of a TUFFCARE CenturyTM
Bariatric Max bed. Our bariatric bed is a true heavy duty bed that
holds up to 1,000 lbs. It is specially engineered and designed for
Alzheimer residents or others with chronic impairments which will
reduce their degree of independence in activities of daily living.
The T5200 is a fully electric adjustable bed. The bed height, head
and foot angles functions are standard, along with trendelenburg
and reverse trendelenburg functions that are all motor controlled
with stylish hand pendant. A standard battery back up system can
last up to two hours during a power failure. The under bed LED
night light is a great feature for tip-toeing in to check on the patient
as well as safe guiding when getting out of bed in the middle of
the night. All the wonderful features make these beds the best
choice for long term care.
