ArjoHuntleigh introduces a new integrated bed and mattress system for high dependency patients

The Citadel™ Patient Care System provides flexible patient care for hospitals that demand safety, security and efficiency from their bed frames and therapeutic mattresses.

Choosing the ideal bed and mattress for each patient is a crucial part of the care process and can have significant impact on the patient’s recovery. The ability to equip the Citadel frame from standard foam mattresses through to tailored integrated therapy systems provides one system for multiple acuities.

The Citadel system prioritizes patient comfort and safety above all through state-of-the-art falls prevention features, and pressure ulcer management technologies. In addition to this, the Citadel system helps to make the care process more efficient and assists in reducing the risk for caregiver injury associated with patient handling.

The reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) is an essential factor of patient care and the Citadel system is specifically designed with a focus on infection control, as it is openly accessible and easy to clean.

“Citadel provides our customers with a system that expands upon our Enterprise frame offering with ease of use and low maintenance and hence low life-time cost, whilst delivering essential therapies for patients with limited mobility. The technology and therapies incorporated into the Citadel Patient Care System provides flexibility for the caregiver to safely manage the clinical needs of their patients,” says Hugo Lawrence, Global Product Manager.
