Premium Column Lift ICU Bed - ToronCare™ 1078
ToronCare™ 1078 is a column lift ICU bed built on a dual-column base that raises and lowers the platform vertically through 540 to 940 mm, the widest height range in the ToronCare line. Two column motors at the head and foot drive the lift, giving the bed a stable footprint, smooth travel, and clean under-bed clearance for patient lifts, imaging, and cleaning. As the flagship of the range, this premium ICU bed combines column-lift height control with backrest articulation to 70 degrees, thigh rest elevation, lateral tilt, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg, and an integrated scales system, all carried on a 240 kg safe working load.
Operation centers on a color touch-screen control panel, supported by a nurse panel, side-rail controls, foot-control panels, and a corded handheld remote, so staff can drive the bed by the method that fits the moment. One-button cardiac chair and bed-exit presets speed routine repositioning, while dual autoregression and an anti contra-angle knee function keep the patient aligned and comfortable through articulation. An X-ray translucent back section with a cassette holder allows bedside imaging, and electric and mechanical CPR drop the backrest flat for resuscitation.
Manufactured to European medical device norms and rated IP54 against water spray and dust, the ToronCare™ 1078 suits high-acuity intensive care units, imaging-intensive wards, and facilities that want one bed to cover positioning, weighing, and rapid intervention. A removable mattress platform, third protective side rail, drainage hooks, and German Tente castors with central braking complete a bed designed for demanding clinical use.
ICU/CCU Bed (Premium) - ToronCare™ 1078 Applications
The ToronCare™ 1078 serves high-acuity environments that need a stable, full-feature bed for positioning, imaging, and continuous monitoring. The column lift and complete function set make it a fit across demanding wards.
- Intensive Care Units (ICU): the wide height range, lateral tilt, and integrated weighing support positioning, pressure care, and fluid tracking for high-acuity patients.
- Imaging-Intensive Wards: the X-ray translucent back section and cassette holder allow bedside chest radiographs without transferring the patient.
- Cardiac Care Units (CCU): the one-button cardiac chair position raises the patient upright to ease breathing and support recovery.
- Post-Anesthesia and Recovery (PACU): full-height travel and tilt assist monitoring and transfer during emergence from anesthesia.
- Pressure Injury and Wound Care: lateral tilt and autoregression help offload bony prominences for at-risk patients.
- Step-Down and High-Dependency Units: touch-screen control and bed-exit presets streamline care for patients moving toward recovery.
- Long-Term Acute Care: durable construction and a low minimum height support extended stays and safe transfers.
Standards
The ToronCare™ 1078 is designed and produced to internationally recognized standards for medical electrical equipment, medical beds, and the weighing function of the integrated scale.

ICU/CCU Bed (Premium) - ToronCare™ 1078 Key Features
The ToronCare™ 1078 brings together a stable column-lift base, touch-screen control, and the full positioning and safety feature set of the ToronCare range.
- Dual-Column Lift System: two column motors raise the platform through a 540 to 940 mm range on a stable base with clear under-bed access.
- Touch-Screen Control Panel: a color touchscreen displays angle, height, and weight data and gives intuitive control of every powered function.
- Foot-Control Panels: foot pedals operate the bed hands-free when staff are occupied with patient care.
- Lateral Tilt to 15°: powered side-to-side rotation offloads pressure points and assists patient turning.
- Backrest to 70° and Thigh Rest to 30°: a wide articulation range supports comfort, feeding, and clinical access.
- Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg: head-down and foot-down tilt to 12 degrees assists circulation management and procedures.
- Dual Autoregression: backrest and seat sections shift their pivots during motion to reduce shear and abdominal compression.
- Anti Contra-Angle Knee Function: keeps the leg section aligned and prevents over-bending at the knee break.
- Integrated Scales System: load cells capture patient weight on the bed, removing the need for a separate scale.
- One-Button Cardiac Chair Position: a single command seats the patient upright to support breathing and cardiac recovery.
- One-Button Bed-Exit Position: a preset lowers and configures the bed to help mobile patients leave safely.
- X-Ray Translucent Back Section: the radiolucent panel and integrated cassette holder allow chest imaging without moving the patient.
- Electric and Mechanical CPR: a damped quick-release drops the backrest flat with one hand, with or without mains power.
- Removable Mattress Platform: the platform lifts off for cleaning, sterilization, and bedside imaging.
- Integrated Bed Extension: the platform extends 200 mm to fit taller patients.
- Third Protective Side Rail: an added rail section gives extra fall protection along the bed.
- Multi-Point Angle Indicators: side-rail gauges show backrest, tilt, and lateral angles at a glance.
- Backup Battery Operation: stored power runs the bed's functions during a mains interruption, with a battery status indicator.
- Drainage Hooks and I.V. Pole Holes: integrated fittings organize lines, bags, and infusion stands.
- German Tente Castors with Central Braking: four castors with single-pedal brake and steering support stable transport.
- Four Anti-Collision Corners and Emergency Stop: corner bumpers and a stop button add protection during transport and operation.
- Night Light and IP54 Rating: an under-bed night light aids low-disturbance care, and IP54 sealing protects against water spray and dust.
Theory and Method
A column lift raises the bed through two vertical columns, one near the head and one near the foot, rather than the scissor or four-bar linkage used on entry-level beds. Inside each column, a motor turns a lead screw that extends or retracts a telescoping section, so the platform travels straight up and down while its footprint stays fixed. This geometry produces a stable base across the full 540 to 940 mm range, keeps the underside clear for patient lifts and floor cleaning, and distributes load evenly so the bed holds lateral tilt and Trendelenburg without rocking. Driving both columns in step sets the height, and driving them in opposition produces the head-down and foot-down tilt of up to 12 degrees.
Patient positioning adds several articulating sections on top of the column base. Linear actuators set the backrest to 70 degrees and the thigh rest to 30 degrees, while lateral tilt rotates the platform up to 15 degrees side to side to shift weight off pressure points. Dual autoregression shifts the pivot of both the backrest and the seat sections as they move, which reduces shear along the torso and compression at the abdomen, and an anti contra-angle knee function prevents the leg section from bending past its intended alignment. Auto-contour links the backrest and knee bend so the patient stays in place as the head end rises.
The integrated scales system reads patient weight through load cells set between the platform and the frame, where a strain gauge in each cell changes resistance as the load deflects its sensing element. The controller sums the cell outputs and displays weight on the touch-screen panel alongside angle and height data. For emergencies, a damped quick-release decouples the backrest and lets it fall flat smoothly with one hand, functioning both electrically and mechanically so staff can begin CPR during a power loss.
