Its products are sold to 103 countries and regions around the world. It has won bids for UNICEF, National Health Commission, World Bank loan projects and government procurement projects at all levels, and its performance in the international market is particularly outstanding.

III. Detailed Explanation of Core Products and Technical Parameters

Mtmed boasts an extensive product line of electric hospital beds, covering multiple sub-series such as multi-functional electric hospital beds, side-turning electric hospital beds, ICU intensive care electric hospital beds, electric hospital beds specifically for obese patients, and pediatric electric hospital beds, which can meet the differentiated needs of different clinical scenarios and patient groups.

The M7 series multi-functional electric hospital bed has been successfully introduced into several top-tier hospitals, including Jining First People’s Hospital, and has received high praise from clinical departments. This series features a bed surface size of approximately 1960×850mm, a guardrail height of approximately 350mm, and a wide range of lifting strokes to accommodate flexible transitions from low to high nursing positions. Utilizing five high-performance linear motors as core drive components, the product automatically and precisely adjusts various patient positions, including backrest lifting, knee lifting, overall bed lifting, forward and backward tilting, and left and right lateral turning. Whether for daily patient care, positional changes to prevent pressure ulcers, or clinical examinations and treatments, the bed provides ample positional support.

Of particular note is that this series of products is equipped with a high-performance uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, which can ensure at least 30 minutes of normal operation during bed transport or in the event of a sudden power outage. At the same time, there are prominent emergency stop buttons on both sides of the bed. In the event of any emergency, medical staff can quickly press the button to activate the power-off braking protection of the equipment, ensuring patient safety to the greatest extent.

Some high-end models can also be equipped with advanced features such as CPR cardiopulmonary resuscitation rapid flattening function, intelligent weighing system and back panel X-ray design according to clinical needs, further expanding the application boundaries of electric hospital beds in intensive care and emergency rescue.

1. Core Competitive Advantages: A Comprehensive Integration of Intelligence, Security, and Humanization

Mingtai electric hospital beds have advantages in multiple dimensions and have formed a systematic technological competitiveness.

1. In intelligent control systems

The product adopts an advanced medical-grade motor drive system and multi-axis linkage control algorithm, which can realize independent or coordinated adjustment of body position and posture in multiple dimensions, such as backrest height adjustment from 0 to 75 degrees, leg height adjustment from 0 to 35 degrees, overall bed height adjustment from 480 to 760 mm, forward and backward tilting ±12 degrees, and left and right lateral tilting from 0 to 15 degrees. All operations can be completed with one button through a handheld wired controller or bed fixed panel. The operation interface is intuitive and easy to understand, effectively reducing the learning cost and operation burden of nursing staff.

2. Security Protection System

The product is equipped with high-strength foldable double-sided guardrails. The gap between the guardrails and the bed surface has been precisely calculated to ensure that there is no risk of pinching. The emergency stop button is reasonably laid out and within easy reach. The anti- pinch design runs through all moving parts of the bed surface. Anti-collision rollers are provided at the four corners of the bed to effectively buffer accidental collisions when moving.

3. Humanized nursing design

The bed frame is made of thickened high-quality cold-rolled steel plate, which is formed by CNC stamping and robotic welding. The surface layer adopts green and environmentally friendly electrostatic powder coating process. The coating is uniform and dense, with strong adhesion, excellent corrosion resistance, and smooth surface, which is easy to clean and disinfect daily. It fully meets the strict requirements of hospital infection control management.

4. Silent operation

Both the motor and transmission mechanism have undergone rigorous acoustic optimization, and the noise level of the entire bed is strictly controlled below 55 decibels, creating a quiet and comfortable inpatient recuperation environment for patients.

5. Modular design

Each functional component uses a standard interface, which facilitates later maintenance and parts replacement, effectively reducing the cost of using the equipment throughout its entire life cycle.

1. Applicable occasions and clinical scenarios

Mingtai electric hospital beds are widely applicable to various medical and nursing scenarios, including general hospital wards, ICU intensive care units, rehabilitation and nursing facilities, elderly care institutions, community health centers, and hospice care facilities. The products cater to multiple needs such as daily care, intensive care, rehabilitation training, and postoperative recovery, and can provide flexible configuration options based on the specific disease characteristics and nursing requirements of different departments.

For example, in ICU settings, features such as side-rolling and CPR quick-laying functions can be prioritized to facilitate position management and emergency procedures for critically ill patients; in orthopedic wards, the backrest’s X-ray transmission design can be enhanced to facilitate bedside X-ray examinations; and in elderly care facilities, the height of the guardrails and the lowest point of the bed can be reinforced to reduce the risk of falls. This clinically-driven customization capability allows Mingtai electric hospital beds to truly integrate into the nursing workflows of different medical scenarios.
