FeelSafe Pro

Inner cord for independent opening of the canopy bed

A flexible solution that offers patients greater independence while maintaining safety and quality of care.

The FeelSafe Pro canopy bed is supplied as a standard closed tent bed that cannot be opened by the patient from the inside. With a simple modification, it is now possible to give patients who are recovering, or for whom the closed bed may no longer be necessary, the option to open the bed independently from the inside.

This option is only offered after consultation between the clinician, nurse and patient. A removable inner cord can be attached to the zipper on the inside of the tent bed, allowing the patient to open the tent independently. If required, the original closed function can easily be restored.

Watch the video instruction for using the inner cord.
