When staff need to provide assistance, the bed can be raised to a working height of up to 31 inches.

This wide adjustment range supports both resident-focused positioning and practical caregiving needs.

Expandable Width for Greater Flexibility

One of the defining features of the Protekt Protopia EXP is its integrated width expansion system.

The bed can be adjusted to three widths:

-36 inches

-42 inches

-48 inches

These adjustments can be completed without tools, making it easier for facilities to accommodate changing resident needs.

Expanded configurations require appropriately sized mattresses and compatible accessories.

Extendable Length for Individual Needs

In addition to adjustable width, Protopia EXP incorporates a tool-free length extension system.

The bed can be configured to:

-80 inches

-84 inches

-88 inches

Combining adjustable width and length gives care facilities greater flexibility while helping simplify equipment selection and inventory management.

Designed for Everyday Care

The Protopia EXP includes an eight-function hand pendant and auto-contour positioning to make routine adjustments convenient for caregivers.

Its electric height adjustment helps staff position the bed for common care activities, while the heavy-duty welded frame supports dependable institutional use.

Important Safety & Compatibility Information

The ultra-low position may help reduce the severity of injury associated with accidental bed rollouts, but it does not eliminate fall risks.

When changing bed width or length, facilities must ensure the mattress and related accessories are appropriate for the selected configuration.

Bed rails and assist bars require individual assessment for suitability and potential entrapment risks.

Always follow the manufacturer's operating instructions and applicable Canadian healthcare safety requirements.
