Orthopedic nets: comfort and support for a quality sleep
Rebustelli srl specialises in the design and manufacture of orthopaedic bed bases with wooden or metal frames, and wooden slats in various widths and sizes, selected according to the objectives of the finished product.
What characteristics must a bed base have to be defined as orthopaedic?
The primary objective is to provide correct and balanced support for the resting person, keeping the spinal column in the most natural and relaxed position possible throughout the sleep cycle.
The mattress base must therefore support the mattress by strictly avoiding the formation of depressions and negative curves.
This can only be achieved by using a slatted frame that is calibrated to provide optimal comfort in the short and long term.
The frame, on the other hand, must use correctly dimensioned, strong and resistant material, to respond to vertical loads without giving in or flexing, coherently integrating with the work performed by the slats.
Orthopaedic nets and medical device nets: differences and commonalities
Often the end customer confuses orthopaedic net with medical device net. This is understandable, as there is a certain degree of overlap between the two definitions.
As explained in the text ‘Comfort and Support for Quality Sleep’, an orthopaedic bed base must guarantee adequate and specific support for the spinal column, but only when this characteristic is certified by external laboratories through specific tests and studies will the product also be a Medical Device.
The certification process is rigorous, demanding and burdensome for the company, which usually only associates it with its flagship products.
For more details we invite you to consult the specific section ‘MEDICAL DEVICE NETWORKS’.
In conclusion, we could say that all bed bases with a Medical Device are orthopaedic, but not all orthopaedic bed bases are Medical Devices.
