Contempora combines well-engineered technology with comfortable design – the added value consists in the flexibility with which the concept adapts to the individual needs of people in care. The design is based on the concept of age as a consciously shaped phase of life – including illness and care: numerous add-ons enhance the vitality and mobility of people requiring care. At the same time the design provides nursing staff with ergonomic and work-saving aids. The technical innovations, including the easy-click brakes, are self-explanatory, easy to understand and to operate. Despite the high functionality, the design and colour combinations enhance the homelike look of this nursing bed, contributing significantly to an improved quality of life.
