Graham-Field announces Lumex Patriot LX homecare bed

ATLANTA, Ga., July 1, 2013—GF Health Products, Inc. (“Graham-Field”) is proud to introduce the all-new Lumex® Patriot LX Homecare Bed. “We wanted to completely rethink the way a homecare bed is designed,” said Cynthia Counts, vice president of homecare sales and marketing. “We took what we learned from designing and manufacturing beds for the long term care market and applied it to the most unique homecare bed in the industry. The new Patriot LX homecare bed is 30 pounds lighter than our current Patriot homecare bed and there are absolutely no moving parts in the headboard or footboard. This unique design will offer Homecare Providers a bed that is easier to deliver, set up and maintain, making the bed’s lifetime cost in use one of the lowest in the industry,” said Counts.

The Patriot LX base model features a low maintenance single motor to provide semi-electric functionality. Since the headboard and footboard contain no moving parts, their new furniture look greatly enhances the bed’s style and makes it less obtrusive in the home. The unique grid deck provides proper support for an extensive selection of mattresses, alternating pressure pads and low air loss systems to accommodate a number of home based pressure management therapies. Patient safety rails and several bed/ mattress packages will be available.

“We are extremely excited about the addition of the new Patriot LX homecare bed to our ‘Made in USA’ product portfolio. We will continue to design and manufacture innovative products here in the United States for all the markets we compete in,” stated Ken Spett, president and CEO. “Our continued investment in high capacity, high technology manufacturing systems will enable us to offer our customers quality, innovative and cost-effective products that will enhance their ability to compete in the constantly changing environment being created by the Affordable Care Act and competitive bidding.”
