Proactive Medical Protekt Akra Bariatric Full-Electric Bed with Multi-Width Heavy-Duty Slat Deck Support

Protekt Akra Bariatric Bed: Structural Square-Tube Slat Deck and Ultra-Lightweight Full-Electric Heavy-Duty Performance

The Proactive Medical Protekt Akra Bariatric™ Full-Electric Bed Series delivers an elite, heavy-duty clinical furniture solution specifically engineered to provide dignified, high-capacity bariatric positioning without the restrictive bulk of traditional heavy-frame bariatric beds. Optimized for acute care clinics, bariatric rehab units, and institutional equipment fleets, this full-electric mobility platform breaks industry boundaries by offering the lightest 42-inch bariatric bed on the market. Weighing only 200 pounds in its core configuration, the Akra drastically reduces the physical delivery, maneuvering, and assembly strain placed on facility teams while maintaining independently tested structural stability.

Operational optimization and precision patient posturing are driven by a self-contained, dual-motor system that automates the independent or simultaneous tracking of the head and foot frame sections. Highly versatile for facility inventory managers, the Akra is engineered across multiple width configurations—including 42-inch, 48-inch, and 54-inch sleep surfaces—to comfortably accommodate diverse patient profiles and support weight tiers up to an impressive 1,000 lbs. The motorized hi/lo adjustments are seamlessly housed inside scratch-resistant woodgrain panel bed ends, allowing caregivers to alter total frame elevation effortlessly to optimize clinical access and ensure safe patient transfers.

Every structural facet of the Protekt Akra Bariatric™ is designed to comply with rigorous institutional safety and sanitization standards. The sleep platform features an all-steel square-tube slat deck that provides durable strength, eliminates no-snag mattress tearing, and facilitates rapid chemical wipe-downs. To protect both patient and clinician during active lift cycles, the low-noise, UL-approved motor enclosure can be fully installed or removed while the patient remains in bed, minimizing clinical downtime. Fully compliant with IEC clinical performance metrics and FDA entrapment guidelines, this bed represents an ideal balance of robust bariatric capacity and streamlined facility logistics.

Key Benefits:

• Ultra-Lightweight Frame Layout: Establishes a highly manageable 200-pound foundation for the 42-inch profile, enabling rapid tool-free single-individual room setups.
• High-Capacity Slat Deck: Heavy-duty square-tube steel slat deck provides rigid, no-sag structural mattress support that is easy to sanitize between patient rotations.
• Self-Contained Low-Noise Motor: Features a quiet, UL-approved dual-motor drive that can be serviced, installed, or completely removed while the patient remains safely recumbent.
• Streamlined Two-Box Shipping: The 42-inch model configuration ships complete with safety half rails in only two boxes, accelerating logistics and inventory turnaround times.
• Scratch-Resistant Woodgrain Panels: Impact-resistant, washable woodgrain bed ends integrate the motorized hi/lo drives to maintain a professional, clean aesthetic.
• Rigid Safety Certification: Rigorously engineered to surpass international IEC 60601 safety standards and satisfy stringent FDA/ASTM rail entrapment regulations.
