Beds & Stretchers in Kenya
Available Beds & Stretchers Models

In the realm of medical infrastructure, beds and stretchers represent fundamental patient handling and support systems. A medical bed is a specialized piece of furniture designed to provide comfort, safety, and therapeutic positioning for patients within a healthcare facility. They are engineered with adjustable features to facilitate patient care, rehabilitation, and recovery. A medical stretcher, also known as a gurney or ambulance trolley, is a portable apparatus used for transporting patients, particularly those who are ill, injured, or unable to ambulate independently. Stretchers are designed for ease of movement and patient stability during transit.

In Kenya, the need for high-quality medical beds and stretchers spans a diverse range of healthcare facilities, each with unique demands. From the comprehensive care offered at national and county referral hospitals to the specialized services provided in private hospitals and the essential primary care delivered by smaller clinics, reliable and ergonomic patient mobility and support solutions are fundamental.

Ensuring your new medical beds and stretchers are expertly installed is crucial for their optimal performance and the safety of your patients and staff. We offer a comprehensive installation service tailored to your facility in Kenya, designed to be efficient, non-disruptive, and thorough.

Site Preparation

To facilitate a smooth installation, we recommend preparing the designated space in advance. This typically involves:

• Ensuring clear access to the installation area, free from obstructions.
• Confirming adequate power outlet availability and functionality for electrically operated models.
• Verifying sufficient space for the bed/stretcher, including clearance for patient transfers and equipment movement.
• Maintaining a clean and dry environment during the installation period.

Delivery And Unpacking

Our trained technicians will coordinate the delivery of your beds and stretchers directly to your facility. Upon arrival, they will carefully unpack all components, verifying that all parts are present and undamaged according to the packing list.

Installation Steps

The installation process is carried out by certified professionals and generally includes the following key steps:

• Assembly: Precise assembly of the bed/stretcher frame, mattress platform, and any detachable accessories according to manufacturer specifications.
• Component Integration: Secure fitting of all mechanical and electrical components, including motors, control panels, and safety features.
• Functional Testing: Rigorous testing of all adjustable features (e.g., height, backrest, leg rest,Trendelenburg/reverse Trendelenburg functions) to ensure smooth and responsive operation.
• Safety Checks: Comprehensive inspection of all locking mechanisms, brakes, side rails, and other safety restraints.
• Sanitization: Thorough cleaning and sanitization of the equipment prior to handover.

Calibration Requirements

For electrically operated beds and advanced stretchers, precise calibration is a vital part of the installation process. This ensures:

• Accurate weight distribution sensing (where applicable).
• Correct synchronization of motor movements.
• Precise positioning of adjustable sections for patient comfort and clinical needs.
• Optimal performance of integrated safety features and alarms.

Our technicians utilize specialized tools and diagnostic equipment to perform these calibrations, guaranteeing that your medical beds and stretchers are ready for immediate and safe use upon completion.

The cost of medical beds and stretchers in Kenya can vary significantly, influenced by factors such as the type of equipment, its features, brand reputation, and the supplier. For basic, non-motorized manual beds, you can expect to find options starting from around KES 30,000 to KES 80,000. These are suitable for general wards and facilities requiring reliable, straightforward patient support.

As you move towards more advanced models, such as semi-electric or fully electric hospital beds with adjustable height, backrest, and leg positions, the price range widens considerably. These typically fall between KES 90,000 and KES 250,000, offering enhanced patient comfort and ease of use for healthcare professionals.

Specialized stretchers, including transport stretchers, examination stretchers, and hydraulic emergency stretchers, will also have varied pricing. Basic transport stretchers might be found from KES 40,000 upwards, while more sophisticated hydraulic or electric models designed for critical care and ambulance services can range from KES 150,000 to KES 400,000 or more. Factors like weight capacity, maneuverability, and integrated accessories (like IV poles and side rails) will impact the final price.

When budgeting, it's crucial to consider not only the initial purchase price but also potential costs for delivery, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Obtaining quotes from multiple reputable medical equipment suppliers in Kenya is highly recommended to secure the best value for your specific needs.
