Two-Function Manual Adjustability for General Ward Environments
The Vital Medical 2 Function Manual Hospital Bed VM-BHMB02 provides two essential positional adjustments operated by dedicated manual cranks: back-rest elevation from 0 to 75° (±10°) and knee-rest elevation from 0 to 40° (±10°). These two functions address the core positioning needs of general medical and surgical ward patients without requiring electrical infrastructure, making the bed appropriate for facilities where simplicity of operation and reduced maintenance overhead are priorities. The fixed-height frame at 490 mm contributes to structural stability and ensures a consistent access height across ward configurations.
Construction, Safety Features, and Included Accessories
The DW-MB02 is mounted on four 5″ covered castors, allowing straightforward repositioning within the ward while maintaining a stable platform for patient transfers. Foldable side rails provide fall-prevention safety without permanently obstructing patient access, and the ABS bed ends incorporate a secure locking mechanism to maintain structural integrity during care activities. As standard, the bed includes a four-hook IV pole with four provision points, two drainage hooks, and two mattress holders, supplying the clinical accessories required for intravenous therapy and drainage management without supplementary procurement.

The DW-MB02 has an external footprint of 2115 x 980 mm at a fixed height of 490 mm, with a usable mattress platform of 1925 x 820 mm to accommodate standard hospital mattress sizes. Its 135 kg safe working load supports the broad adult patient population encountered in South African public and private healthcare settings. The VM-BHMB02 is available in South Africa from Vital Medical, suited to general wards, step-down units, and frail care facilities where dependable manual adjustability and a comprehensive standard accessory package are required.
