Gynecology bed

What is a gynecological bed?

One of the most important parts of gynecology is gynecology, which deals with the study of diseases and problems of the female reproductive system. In order to accurately examine the female reproductive system, a bed with special features is needed, which is called a gynecological bed. This bed creates the most suitable position for the body to be positioned so that the gynecologist or midwife can perform the examination in the best and most accurate way. During these examinations, the female reproductive system is thoroughly examined and any abnormal symptoms are identified. This bed is also used to perform a Pap smear.

Different parts of a gynecological bed:

Most gynecological beds have three switches and are produced in two-motor or three-motor models. These beds are generally composed of four parts:

• Backrest
• Seat
• Footrest
• Legs and wheels

The backrest of the bed is made in such a way that it can be turned into a chair backrest or placed parallel to the ground, turning the device into a bed for examinations, minor surgeries, and necessary interventions. The footrest is made of unbreakable ABS. Since this part of the device withstands the pressure of the body’s muscles, it must be sufficiently strong and capable of rotating at different angles. It must also be easy to wash.

There are also various accessories with this bed that can be purchased according to the needs of the doctor and the patient. Accessories such as foot protectors and blood or urine collection containers are among the devices that can complete the bed.

Types of gynecological beds:

Gynecological beds are made in two models: simple and electric:

1. Simple gynecological bed:

This bed model has manual adjustments and movements. For this reason, care must be taken with the bed material so that it is not damaged or causes problems due to repeated manual adjustments. In this type of bed, the material of its chassis is also of great importance.

2. Electric gynecological bed:

In the electric model, there is a motor that applies the required adjustments such as angle and height. Therefore, in addition to the suitability of the bed material, the motor must also have good performance and the necessary quality and power.

Various uses of gynecological beds:

Obviously, the most important and common use of gynecological beds is in gynecological and obstetrician’s offices; but these beds are also used in other departments and examinations due to their high resistance and strength. Chest examination, abdominal surgery, and pelvic surgery are other cases that can be easily performed with a gynecological bed.

Important points when buying a gynecological bed:

In addition to the comfort of the patient and the doctor, when buying a gynecological bed, it is necessary to pay attention to the following points:

The gynecological bed is one of the most widely used devices among women’s medical equipment; therefore, it is better to make it from the best brand and the best materials so that it can be used for a long time and does not cause problems. The material of the bed body, footrest and bed legs should be disinfected and washable.
The dimensions, material and flexibility of the bed mattress should be checked. The thickness of the foam of the bed mattress should be between 10 and 15 centimeters so that the patient feels comfortable during examinations.
The bed cover should be made of high-quality artificial leather that does not cause excessive heat and sweating of the patient. On the other hand, a high-quality cover keeps the bed resistant to washing with disinfectants and also to sharp objects hitting the bed.
The sitting area of ​​the gynecological bed should be wider than other beds so that pregnant women and people with high weight can easily lie on the bed.
When buying an electric gynecological bed, you should pay attention to the power and capacity of the motor so that it can control the position of the bed for people with higher weight and pregnant women. When buying mechanical beds, since the levers, bed chassis and fasteners are responsible for controlling the position of the bed, checking their material and health is an important and essential point.
