Full-Electric Control for Easier Daily Care
The Invacare IVC Full-Electric Low Bed allows users and caregivers to adjust body positioning and bed height electronically with an easy-to-use hand pendant. This helps reduce the physical strain of manual adjustments and makes daily care more comfortable for both the patient and caregiver.

Who should use a low hospital bed at home?
