Linet Multicare Hospital Bed with Controller and Mattress
£1,199.99
This item
Squirrel Medical 8535 Inflatable Mattress Systems- Brand New
£299.99
The Linet Multicare is an intensive care bed built for critical care and high dependency environments. Its defining feature is lateral tilt, a controlled side to side movement of the mattress platform of up to 15 degrees each way, which turns the patient without the crew taking the load. That single function supports pulmonary therapy, pressure redistribution and repositioning in patients who cannot be turned manually. Full electric profiling covers backrest, knee break, height and Trendelenburg. Safe working load is 250 kg. This unit is pre-owned and is supplied with the controller and a compatible mattress.
Checked before dispatch
These are in-house workshop checks. Damaged or non-working items are not dispatched. A full engineer service and calibration is not included unless this listing states that the unit has been serviced. Planned maintenance and periodic electrical safety testing remain with the operating organisation once the bed is in service.
Lateral tilt moves the mattress platform through roughly 15 degrees to either side under powered control. In practice it takes the effort out of turning a heavy or unstable ICU patient, and it makes postural drainage, back care and linen changes a job for fewer hands. It is also the route to pressure injury prevention in patients who cannot tolerate a manual turn, where even a small change of angle matters.
Backrest elevation includes auto-regression, so the deck sections shift as the backrest rises rather than dragging the patient up the bed. That reduces shear at the sacrum and limits abdominal compression, which is why the geometry matters as much as the surface in pressure care.
Configuration and variant
The Multicare shipped over several production years in a number of configurations, and figures given above are typical rather than unit specific. Features including CPR quick release, battery backup, a retractable fifth castor, integrated scales, bed exit alarm and foot controls were configuration dependent and are not confirmed as present on this unit. Where a specific function is essential, ask before ordering and the configuration and rating label will be checked. The bed is offered on the basis of the specification and photographs shown.
Siderails, mattress fit and entrapment risk
Bed rails only reduce risk when rail, frame and mattress are dimensionally compatible. A mattress outside the stated size range, or one deeper than 23 cm, reduces the effective rail height and opens gaps a patient can become trapped in. Check the effective rail height above the compressed mattress surface and check every gap against current national guidance on the safe use of bed rails, and reassess whenever the surface is changed, including any move to an active or overlay mattress. Bed rails are not appropriate for every patient and their use should follow an individual risk assessment.
Delivery and access
| Component | Action | Interval |
|---|---|---|
| Siderails | Check latching, movement and integrity, confirm gaps against the mattress in use | Before each use |
| Brakes and castors | Confirm the central brake holds, clear debris and thread from castor spindles | Weekly |
| Profiling and lateral tilt | Cycle every function through full travel and listen for actuator strain | Weekly |
| Mains lead, handset and panels | Inspect for damage, cracked housings and fluid ingress | Weekly |
| Mattress and cover | Decontaminate per local policy, inspect the cover for rips, staining and seam failure | Between patients |
| Mattress platform sections | Remove, clean and refit, confirming each section seats and locks correctly | Between patients |
| Frame and fixings | Inspect for cracks, corrosion, loose fasteners and deformation | Monthly |
| Planned maintenance and electrical safety test | Engineer service and test | Per local schedule |
The above is general guidance. The manufacturer instructions for use and the operating organisation's decontamination and maintenance policy take precedence. Any bed showing a fault should be taken out of service until it has been repaired and re-tested.
