When the patient is at rest or during operations, it needs to be stable. When the patient needs to be shifted from one room to another, as it quite often happens, the beds should move effortlessly through the narrow corridors. In all these functions, the quality of castors fitted under these beds has a huge influence. Though it occupies a very small area when we consider a bed, it has a highly essential role to play.\u00a0 Therefore, every <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dysanwheel.com\/hospital-beds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hospital beds manufacturer in India<\/a> <\/strong>focuses on the quality of these mobility objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Castors and Wheels: Importance in Hospital Beds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Movement of hospital beds depends on castors. Nurses need to move the patient from ward to ward to imagine room, operating theatres and other rooms multiple times a day. To make sure they don&#8217;t have to put a lot of effort, the <strong>hospital beds manufacturer <\/strong>includes castors that serve this function well enough. Here is why castors are important for hospital beds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Good quality castor leaves minimal or no marking lines on the floor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They move without making a loud, shrieking noise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They reduce the effort of the caregivers. Only a single nurse is enough to move the bed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It gives great control with the 360-degree swivelling motion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resist corrosion and maintain performance despite regular exposure to moisture and chemicals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Types of Wheels You Can Choose<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the wheel mechanism, tread design and materials, there are multiple types of castor wheels for hospital beds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Polyurethane Wheels With Brake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Polyurethane is a thermally stable material. It can handle the friction and wear developed due to daily motion well enough. The double brake inclusion makes the bed immobile during treatment and resting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Thermoplastic Rubber Wheels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thermoplastic rubber is a material that is chosen for low noise during movement. The elastic tread dampens the sound in this wheel. It also has a good grip and protects delicate flooring from scuff marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Twin Caster<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of castor has two wheels instead of one. It is used for heavier beds. The twin castors distribute the load more evenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rubber Wheel With Brake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shock absorption and traction are excellent. It ensures secure mobility and positioning with brakes. These are preferred for quiet transport and reliable floor grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Center Lock<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A single pedal activates or releases all locking mechanisms simultaneously in this type of castor. It is useful in the ICU beds, critical care units, and premium medical furniture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ideal type of castor depends on where the hospital bed will be used. According to the frequency of transport, load capacity, low noise requirement and nature of the floor, the suitable type of castor should be chosen.
