Hover-bed
device
Quick Summary
The Hover-bed is a medical device designed to support a patient with minimal body contact and surface pressure. This technology is particularly beneficial for patients with extensive burns, as the air support not only alleviates pain and pressure but also creates a sterile air environment that aids in wound healing. The Hover-bed utilizes air-cushion technology, similar to that used in industrial applications for moving heavy loads over difficult terrain.1
