This highly functional care bed was created in pursuit of a universal design
Miolet ForU has achieved a high level of medical quality, safety and usability. It is also functionally designed for easy assembling, installment and other after services. This is a nursing care bed to establishing the standard of the next generation.
Miolet ForU is not only JIS certified but was completely redesigned based on the study of various accident cases. With 5 new functions, it succeeded in reducing compression on the patient’s back and abdominal and preventing the patient’s buttocks from sliding at the time of back lifting.
The control switch is easy to use even for patients with hemiplegia. The headboard shape is designed to allow patients to easily hold onto when walking. It is also easy to be assembled and provides various other desirable features for a rental bed.

Backslide Raising
If the user’s knees are not properly positioned over the bending portion of the bed, the user’s body will slide towards the foot of the bed when lifting their back. Without having to customize the bed parts, the Miolet ForU has two bending settings to adjust for the length of the user’s thighs, which prevents shifting and losing posture.
Pressing the back lifting button, the knees are raised before the back is raised. This “Quick and Easy Back/Knee Interlocking Motion”prevents the user’s body from sliding towards the feet and becomes easier to position yourself on the edge of the bed.
* ON/OFF Switchable
* This function is available only with 1 back lifting motor or 2 motor.
The “Back Release Mechanism” when lifting the back and “Reduced Pulling Sensation” when lowering the back are lumbar movements introduced to reduce back pressure. The Lumbar Mechanism alleviates back pressure and abdominal pressure when lifting and lowering the back.
* ON/OFF Switchable
When the back is lifted, the bottom of buttocks leans automatically. This helps the user straighten one’s pelvis and prevent unwanted sliding.
Sliding the user’s lower back 2cm back while raising the upper half of the body reduces pressure on the abdomen and back. This special back lifting feature is designed to shift pressure from the user’s abdomen to their shoulders. Simply inserting a hand behind the user’s shoulders will drastically reduce the pressure.
2cm Slide
Warning
Compression on the back created by back lifting may cause a breathing trouble.
* Users who cannot move their own body should be especially cautious of pressure on their backs.
Lift Position
Lower Position
Warning
Patients with cardiac incompetency should not raise the legs higher than the heart.
Note
When lying down, the body’s internal organs extend and put pressure on the lungs, which reduces lung capacity. This can lead to feeling short of breath. Using the back lifting feature, internal organs will return to their normal position and alleviate pressure on the lungs.
The bed shifts 8cm towards the foot of the bed when raising and lowering the bed. The headboard, however, remains in the same position regardless of if the bed is at its minimum height of 25cm off the floor or at the maximum height of 63cm off the floor. Therefore, the head of the bed can be placed close to the wall.
Precautions for Installation
When the bed moves up-and-down, a part in the foot end moves in an arc of 8cm towards the foot end. When you place the bed with the foot end facing the wall, please allow a space of over 11cm between the bed and the wall.
If the rail holder is retractable, a wheelchair can be placed close to the bed and the patient can easily move from bed to the wheelchair
