Electric Hospital Bed (Multi-Function) - ToronCare™ 1091
Electric Hospital Bed (Multi-Function) - ToronCare™ 1091
ToronCare™ 1091 Multi-Function Electric ICU Bed gives critical care teams a single platform for early mobilization, pressure injury prevention, and pulmonary support. Hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and critical care units use the bed to move patients away from prolonged bed rest. Caregivers guide patients toward sitting, standing, and walking as their condition improves. The seven-function electric platform combines a motorized cardiac chair position with calf and knee articulation. An active air cushion mattress works alongside these positioning functions in one unit.
The ToronCare™ 1091 Multi-Function Electric ICU Bed gives critical care teams a single platform for early mobilization, pressure injury prevention, and pulmonary support.

The seven-function electric platform combines a motorized cardiac chair position with calf and knee articulation. An active air cushion mattress works alongside these positioning functions in one unit.
Extended bed rest in the ICU contributes to muscle weakness, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, and delayed ventilator weaning, all of which lengthen hospital stays. The ToronCare 1091 addresses these risks with a progressive rehabilitation pathway built into the bed, moving patients from evaluation through pre-tilt, sitting, standing, and walking stages. Electric backrest, thigh, and calf actuators position patients precisely for each stage without manual lifting. The bed serves ICUs, high-dependency units, surgical recovery wards, and rehabilitation hospitals across North America.
Beyond mobility support, the ToronCare 1091 integrates a nine-mode air cushion mattress for pressure injury prevention. A three-level bed exit alarm adds a further layer of fall protection. A self-developed information control system displays bed status, alarms, and positioning data in real time. These combined systems give clinical staff a single tool to manage rehabilitation, skin integrity, and fall prevention. Care teams can rely on one connected platform throughout a patient's ICU stay
Electric Hospital Bed (Multi-Function) - ToronCare™ 1091 Applications
The ToronCare 1091 supports care teams across clinical settings where patient mobility, skin integrity, and fall prevention are ongoing concerns.
- Intensive Care Units: supports the full progressive rehabilitation pathway, from evaluation and breathing support through sitting, standing, and walking, for patients recovering from mechanical ventilation
- Critical Care and High-Dependency Units: manages patients at elevated risk of pressure injuries and falls with the integrated air cushion and alarm systems
- Surgical Recovery and Post-Operative Wards: positions patients for safe transfer and early ambulation after major surgery
- Cardiac and Pulmonary Care Units: uses the cardiac chair position to reduce cardiac workload, improve venous return, and support lung expansion for patients with cardiac or respiratory conditions
- Rehabilitation Hospitals and Long-Term Acute Care Facilities: extends progressive mobility programs for patients transitioning from acute illness to functional recovery
- Bariatric and High-Acuity Patient Care: supports a 240 kg (529 lb) safe working load for patients who require higher-capacity equipment
- Clinical Skills Training: demonstrates ICU mobility protocols and fall-prevention technique for nursing and rehabilitation staff education
Electric Hospital Bed (Multi-Function) - ToronCare™ 1091 Key Features
The ToronCare 1091 combines electric positioning, pressure injury prevention, and patient safety tools in a single connected platform.
- Seven-Function Electric Positioning: independent backrest, thigh, calf, height, Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, and cardiac chair actuators adjust patient position without manual lifting
- Progressive Rehabilitation Sequence: guides patients step by step from evaluation and breathing support through pre-tilt, sitting, standing, and walking to support recovery
- Cardiac Chair Position: drops the legs and raises the backrest to reduce cardiac workload, facilitate air exchange, and prepare patients for standing
- Nine-Mode Air Cushion Mattress: cycles normal, hip deflation, left turn, right turn, maximum inflation, microclimate, sleep, comfort, and rotation modes to prevent and relieve pressure injuries
- Three-Level Bed Exit Alarm: alerts staff when a patient is exiting the bed, actively exiting, or has left the bed, reducing the risk of unwitnessed falls
- Siderail Unlocked and Brake-Not-Set Alarms: warns staff when a siderail is unlocked during a turning cycle or when the bed brake is not engaged, adding another layer of fall prevention
- Lowest Position Indicator with Night Light: shows caregivers the bed height at a glance and improves visibility during nighttime care
- Flip Touch Screen Controller: folds away to protect the screen when not in use and gives caregivers one-touch control of bed and body position functions
- Internal Siderail Control Panel: lets patients adjust authorized functions themselves, reducing dependence on staff and supporting comfort during recovery
- Autoregression Function: reduces pressure on the pelvis and sacrum and shear force on the back while expanding abdominal space during chair positioning, supporting lung ventilation and comfort
- Bed Extension: lengthens the bed to match patient height, keeping the feet supported during rehabilitation exercises
- Integrated Nurse Call: built into the siderail so patients can summon staff quickly without repositioning
- Anti-Collision Bumpers: absorb impact during transport to protect patients and reduce wall and equipment damage
- Oxygen Cylinder and Cable Storage Holders: keep gas cylinders stable and cables organized during bed movement and transport
- Drainage Hook: keeps catheter and drainage lines secured during turning to reduce tubing tension and cross-contamination risk
- CPR Pedal: lowers the backrest and knee section and raises the foot section in one step to reposition a patient quickly for emergency response
- Patient Restraint Belt Holes: provide attachment points at the back, hands, waist, and ankles to help prevent accidental sliding or falls
- Directional and Universal Braking and Steering: switches between free-roll movement in open areas and straight-line steering for precise corridor transport
Theory and Method
Prolonged immobility in the ICU triggers rapid skeletal muscle catabolism, weakening the diaphragm and peripheral muscles within days of bed rest. This muscle loss extends the time patients need to wean from mechanical ventilation. It also slows the return to independent breathing and movement. Progressive mobilization counters this process through graded mechanical loading: raising the head of the bed and moving a patient toward an upright seated position both activate postural muscles. This loading improves diaphragm excursion, which supports gas exchange and reduces pulmonary complications.
The ToronCare 1091 translates this physiology into a mechanical sequence. Independent backrest, thigh, and calf actuators raise a patient step by step from a reverse Trendelenburg pre-tilt position through an upright cardiac chair position. This sequence redistributes weight onto the seating bones the way a normal seated posture would. The graded loading reduces cardiac workload compared with a sudden transfer to standing. It also conditions respiratory and postural muscles for the transition to bedside standing and ambulation.
Pressure injuries form when sustained tissue compression over bony prominences restricts capillary blood flow, causing localized tissue damage if the pressure is not relieved. The mattress on the ToronCare 1091 addresses this mechanism with an alternating air chamber system. Air chambers beneath the hips and turning zones inflate and deflate on a cycle, restoring capillary perfusion without manual repositioning. A paired microclimate airflow mode keeps the skin surface dry, since moisture buildup at the interface also raises the risk of tissue breakdown.
