Having a baby is one of the most important moments in a woman's life. The experience should be a positive one for both the mother and nursing staff. The delivery bed helps position the patient to maximize her comfort and ease the burden on the caregiver. It is specially built for female patients' delivering, examining and operating, especially for normal delivery.

For the delivery and during the maternity care period, you will need a bed that can be adjusted to the right working height (at least 70 cm high). You cannot give birth in a water bed. It is too low and provides the birthing mother with insufficient stability and support.

The hospital delivery bed is an adjustable bed where a woman can lie down or sit upright according to her needs. In the past, women disliked this method because they were put flat on their back with their legs up in stirrups. This meant that muscles had to work very hard and women could not use gravity to her advantage. Today the delivery bed offers a variety of options. The mother-to-be can decide how she wants it adjusted to ensure maximum comfort.
