IH6065 series specifications

The Invacare IH6065 series is a line of advanced homecare beds designed to enhance the comfort, safety, and independence of individuals requiring long-term care. These beds are particularly beneficial for patients with mobility issues, offering a blend of innovative technologies and user-friendly features that cater to the diverse needs of both patients and caregivers.

One of the standout features of the Invacare IH6065 series is its adjustable height functionality. The bed frame can be easily lowered to a minimum height, facilitating safer transfers from and to the bed for individuals with limited mobility. This lowers the risk of falls and enhances the overall safety for both the patient and the caregiver. Additionally, the ability to elevate the bed allows caregivers to work at a comfortable height, reducing strain and promoting ergonomic positioning.

The IH6065 series also includes advanced positioning options, allowing users to adjust the head and foot sections of the bed. This feature not only aids in patient comfort but also helps alleviate pressure points, promoting better circulation and reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. The adjustable positioning can also assist in various therapeutic needs, such as elevation for respiratory issues or lowering for easier access.

Another important characteristic of the Invacare IH6065 series is its robust construction. The frame is designed to accommodate a wide range of weights, ensuring durability and stability during use. The bed comes equipped with either a mesh or wooden platform, providing patients with a firm yet comfortable sleeping surface. Furthermore, the quiet motor operation is designed to ensure minimal disturbance, allowing for a restful environment.

The bed's control system is intuitive, equipped with a user-friendly handheld remote that allows patients or caregivers to adjust positions effortlessly. This remote can also be equipped with features such as a lock-out option for added safety and to prevent unauthorized access to bed adjustments.

In terms of aesthetics, the Invacare IH6065 series offers a sleek design that seamlessly fits into home environments, promoting a sense of normalcy for users. The series also includes optional accessories, such as side rails and mattress options, enabling a customizable experience to meet individual needs.

Overall, the Invacare IH6065 series exemplifies innovation and quality in homecare solutions, combining comfort, safety, and advanced technology. It stands as a valuable option for individuals seeking a reliable and functional bed that enhances their quality of life.
