AvantGuard™ 1200

AvantGuard™ 1200, Hill-Rom’s most successful acute care bed, is designed to help you provide safe patient mobilisation to encourage early rehabilitation and discharge from hospital and is a valuable support to daily nursing activities, helping reduce demands on caregivers and promoting a safer working environment.

AvantGuard™ 1200, Hill-Rom’s most successful acute care bed, is designed to help you provide safe patient mobilisation to encourage early rehabilitation and discharge from hospital and is a valuable support to daily nursing activities, helping reduce demands on caregivers and promoting a safer working environment.

Its TotalGuard™ side-rails provide maximum patient coverage when the sleep deck is flat and articulate to follow the movements of the bed as the patient’s position changes.

TotalGuard™ side-rails are automatically adjustable in one single action to accommodate a wide variety of mattresses. Hill-Rom has long been a leader in developing products designed to improve patient safety and reduce the risks of patient entrapment and falls. As a member of the Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup (HBSW), Hill-Rom is instrumental in producing new guidelines on reducing entrapment risks between the rail, mattress, bed platform and any accessories. These safety improvements have been incorporated into the design of the AvantGuard 1200 to meet the very latest regulatory requirements.

The AvantGuard™ 1200 is equipped with two safety alarms: An audible brake-off alarm immediately alerts staff if the brake is not engaged allowing patients to mobilise more safely to and from the bed. A light on the bed control pendant gives a visual indication to staff if the bed is not in its lowest position.

The AvantGuard™ 1200 has a wealth of additional features and options including the Mobibar™ egress handles to provide support to patients getting in and out of bed, 5 th wheel for improved manoeuvrability, a one-touch EasyChair™, and hi-lo pedal for convenient hands free height adjustment only operable by pressing the enable key to remove the risk of accidental activation. Its intuitive and flexible bed controls allow patients to reposition themselves independently reducing caregiver tasks. The bed also combines with Hill-Rom’s unrivalled range of pressure relieving mattresses to promote maximum comfort, pressure relief and wound healing. The smooth surfaces of the bed and removable panels allow easy cleaning and decontamination.

Developed after extensive market research across Europe, the AvantGuard™ 1200 offers a bed platform with advanced ergonomic features in response to a number of risk management issues; patient safety, recovery and well-being, reduced risk to caregivers and ease of maintenance.

The Hill-Rom TotalCare SpO2RT® Pulmonary Therapy System offers a unique combination of bed frame and surface that makes treating the critically ill patient with or at risk of complications of immobility easier and safer, it is the only specialised support available today which can offer the advantages of the Hill-Rom Therapeutic Body Positioning™ system within one bedframe.

The Hill-Rom Therapeutic Body Positioning™ system refers to the use of three aspects of positioning therapy:

  • Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy

  • Prone Positioning

  • Sitting Upright

At the heart of the system is the integrated Therapy-on-Demand™ concept, which allows caregivers to easily commence treatment modalities such as continuous lateral rotation therapy (CLRT), percussion and vibration therapies as required. CLRT has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing the incidence of nosocomial pneumonia along with a reduction in ventilator days and length of stay in the ICU and hospital.

The TotalCare SpO2RT® Pulmonary Therapy System also allows the patient to be nursed in the prone position if desired.

As the patient's acuity improves the caregivers can commence rehabilitation programmes utilising the FullChair™ position to aid respiratory mechanics and ease the weaning process.

At later stages to enhance mobility and rehabilitation further the Chair Egress™ position can be utilised to encourage weight bearing.

Alto™ is an alternating pressure overlay mattress of unrivalled comfort.Conventional alternating pressure overlay systems have a rigid cell design, which often leads to patient discomfort. The Alto™ Overlay mattress feels soft and comfortable, the cushion material is made of an elastic polymer that has the ability to stretch to three times its normal size and therefore is highly conformable.

This helps distribute bodyweight more evenly and ensure maximum patient comfort by decreasing tissue deformation.

Alternating air cushions

The gentle unobtrusive 10 minute 1 in 2 alternating cycle improves pressure relief and comfort levels by ensuring patients are not exposed to the high cushion pressures used in some conventional overlay systems.

The Clinisert 2™ mattress incorporates a modular design that allows the caregiver the choice between two well-accepted pressure-reducing foams, High resilience and Visco Elastic.

The High resilience foam insert has foam cubes, which compress independently to conform to the patient’s shape, maximising weight distribution resulting in lower pressures on vulnerable areas.

The Visco-elastic insert is foam with a gel like feel, which is sensitive to body temperature. The foam will soften with body heat and recognise shape and pressure and will adjust to distribute weight evenly again providing low pressures and enhanced patient comfort.

Continuous Lateral Rotation Therapy (CLRT) has been demonstrated to be effective in reducing the incidence of nosocomial pneumonia along with a reduction in ventilator days and length of stay in the ICU and hospital. CLRT as delivered by Respistar uses Hill-Rom's patented method of rotation using sequential deflation of the mattress to provide passive but effective movement.

This method of rotation offers significant advantages to both the patient and the caregiver. The sleep surface contains a separate area of cushions along the side of the mattress called Comfortguard™ which cradle the patient into the centre of the bed ensuring they maintain correct positioning for maximum rotation. Therapy settings (including depth and rate of rotation) can be customised by the caregiver to meet the needs of the individual patient at any time.
