MMO 3000Community Ultra-Low Bed

Caring for vulnerable patients in the community

Falls and fractures are a serious problem affecting older patients, especially in the community environment with over 1.5 million falls reported by the NHS, and 0.8 million of these causing harm1. Falls can have a significant impact on the individual with reduced independence, increased isolation, loss of confidence and constant fear of falling again. All of these factors result in a reduction of quality of life and wellbeing, making it a complex issue when caring in the community. The vision of a falls prevention programme is to reduce harm from falls without compromising dignity, independence and rehabilitation.

Effective Falls PreventionA significant number of falls result in death or severe or moderate injury, and a significant number of falls in the healthcare environment occur when the patient is trying to mobilise around the bed space.

Medstrom’s focus is to select the most appropriate range of bed platforms to help prevent falls and patient injury. The MMO 3000 utilises all the features of the MMO ultra-low bed range and delivers them in a new aesthetic suitable for the community or care environment.

The MMO 3000 bed will lower to an ultra-low height from the floor, a feature that offers several benefits to the patient and caregiver. Patients who are restless, confused and vulnerable whilst in the bed and are at risk of falling out the bed can be nursed at an ultra-low height, thus ensuring that risk of injury is minimised.

KEY FACT:Every minute, six people over 65 suffer a fall.2

KEY FACT:The total estimated cost of 500 falls in a community Trust is £1.45 million per year.3

Patients in today’s healthcare arena are older and more vulnerable, yet caregivers still want to get patients mobilised at the earliest opportunity.

The 3000 offers an ultra low height of just 19cm to create a safe environment, minimising the risk of injury from falls from the bed.

The 3000 offers a platform that is low enough to create a safe environment that will encourage independent and safe mobilisation without the risk of falls.

The bed can also be easily pre-set to achieve a customised height that will suit each individual patient’s needs. This ensures an accurate ‘stop’ at the right height, ensuring the patient’s feet are on the floor, further enhancing patient safety when carers are not present.

Safer patient positioning To prevent hospital acquired infections, it is important that the patient is mobilised both in the bed and out of the bed. It is well documented that head of bed positioning will prevent infections such as pneumonia, therefore achieving the correct head of bed angle is vital. The MMO 3000 incorporates a ‘Safe Stop’ positioning feature, eliminating the need for bending to check angle indicators and for guesswork.

• The backrest will automatically pause at the two most clinically beneficial positions of:

30° of head elevation, allowing greater residual capacity of the lungs and therefore improving oxygenation levels. It will also enhance the wellbeing of a patient who is recovering after surgery or someone who has been very ill

45° of head elevation, a semi-recumbent position that enhances respiratory function, well-being and promotes the feeling of progress in mobilisation for the patient

The electric backrest lengthens as it articulates to a maximum of 70°, extending the platform by 12cm. This accommodates a semi-recumbent then sitting position without pushing the patient forward. It will also prevent slipping or sliding down the bed. This maintains position and enhances comfort, as well as safety and will reduce the risk of tissue damage from shear forces in this vulnerable group of patients.

KEY FACT:Every hour, an older person dies as the result of a hip fracture.4

Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg have an automatic ‘back to flat’ feature that removes guesswork, the need for angle indicators and unnecessary bending for caregivers.

A chair position can be achieved via just one button operation. A full cardiac chair position can be achieved via just one button. This position is a very important part of any patient’s progress when mobilising. This stage of mobilisation is a key part of recovery – the earlier this is achieved the earlier patients will stand, then walk. This has obvious benefits for well-being and patient psychology.

The MMO 3000 incorporates a bed extension of 18cm as standard, allowing a greater range of patients to be safely nursed on the bed.

Platform technology across the range

The MMO range of electric profiling beds incorporate platform technology with common functionality and controls. This delivers benefits for caregivers in terms of reducing the risks associated with medical device use through simplicity, familiarity and more standardised training. It can also deliver benefits in terms of reduced maintenance costs and down-time.

Choice of either metal ¾ folding or wooden side rails (shown above) to accommodate any care setting and ensuring patient safety even with deep therapy mattresses.

Create a safe environment that encourages independent mobilisation

Ultra low height from just 19cm minimises potential for injury from falls.

A custom height can be programmed for each patient, promoting safe mobilisation, particularly for patients who are self-mobilising.

Achieve safe and easy patient positioning, enhancing patient wellbeing

The backrest automatically pauses at the ‘Safe Stop’ head of bed angles of 30o and 45o, ensuring effective patient positioning for improved respiratory function and removing the need for guesswork.

The backrest regresses as it lifts to 70°, lengthening the platform by 12cm, which prevents the patient sliding down the bed, eliminating shear and friction and maximising comfort.

A full cardiac chair position can be easily achieved using one button. This is an important first step towards early mobilisation and further supports pulmonary function.

Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg (-/+ 14°) have an automatic ‘back to flat’ feature, avoiding guesswork and the need for the caregiver to bend.

A bed extension of 18cm ensures a wider range of patients can be accommodated.

Electric CPR returns the patient quickly and smoothly to a position where cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be performed.

Simple and easy to use

Patient handset (top) and caregiver control panel (bottom) available as options.

Easy to use bilateral, manual CPR function in addition to electric option.

Two x twin 75mm castor design ensures smooth and easy movement of the bed.

Excellent access for all designs of hoist.

Standardised controls across the entire MMO range promote familiarity and assist with caregiver training. The intuitive five-function hand control is simple to operate and encourages patient independence. Functions may be locked-out as required.

A patient handset and caregiver control are available as options.

Easy access under bed for cleaning without the need to move the bed.

The powder coated frame has an open design, giving superior access for cleaning.

Sleep deck panels can be removed for easy cleaning.
