Wicastle has created a functional way to care for the immobilized individual. Wicastle rotation bed is a unique, computer-controlled, therapy system that manually or automatically turns the bed-user to different stable sleeping positions without the aid of caregivers or institutional staff. The bed closely mimics the body's natural nocturnal motion by mechanically repositioning it in order to re-establish blood flow to compressed tissue and thus prevent the formation of life-threatening bedsores and other complications of immobility. The motion is timed (rather than random) when under computer control and the rate is adjustable to fit individual need.

Automatic Operation
A key feature of Wicastle rotation bed is its ease of operation. User-friendly control panels allow caregivers to easily program the bed for automatic use or to adjust any of the bed’s operations manually. Changing the operation of the bed from automatic to manual or from manual to automatic is a one-step procedure.
The bed allows the user to be smoothly and quietly turned through a 90° range of rotation - from the horizontal position to up to 90° left and 90° right. Rotation can be programmed to stop at any position to meet the specific comfort
