ProBed Medical Technologies Inc., is pleased to announce the introduction of its latest model of the Freedom Bed -Model PAR3-A3FXB – Bariatric Medical Bed.
Answering the call from both end-users and medical funders, ProBed Medical has introduced its wide-bodied bariatric medical bed that can accommodate persons weighing up to 600 pounds while still providing all the many exceptional benefits of the existing models of the Freedom Bed:
- Smooth, quiet and precise movement.
- Programmable rotation to 30° both left and right, in one-degree increments.
- Three programmable lateral positions – left, centre and right.
- Choice of bypassing one of the above positions if deemed necessary for medical, or personal preference, requirements.
- A range of dwell-times, in each of the three positions, from one minute to four hours.
- Variable height platform - lowest level provides easy transfer to and from bariatric bed to wheelchair
- Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg positioning.
The Freedom Bed’s unique air system, located between the platform and the mattress provides virtually limitless positioning options, all while providing pressure redistribution.
The air system offers a unique opportunity for persons needing upper body elevation for respiration, reflux, feeding tube requirements to be automatically repositioned using either the programming feature or the ‘on demand’ manual capability. To our knowledge the Freedom Bed is the only medical bed in the world that provides this important feature.

“If I had to list the three main contributing factors to my success of achieving my goals, the first would be my parent, the second would be the inspiration which people like Rick Hansen have provided, and the third is my ProBed and the resulting freedom it has given me.”
