The bed is available in two options: the V-Cut or Straight-Cut.
Non-Air Mattress
A pressure redistribution foam mattress is available.
WOOD HEADBOARDS
The wood headboards include built-in handles which aid in steering

To install—align the headboard sockets with the posts on the bed
frame, and lower the headboard until it rest on the bed frame.

The Labor and Delivery Drape should be placed over the bottom sheet before the patient gets into the
