Description
The Hillrom Centuris Pro Bed is an electric hospital bed designed for low-acuity hospital areas, general wards, and short-stay units. It is part of the Hillrom 900 family, meaning it uses many of the same standardized parts as the Accella we discussed, which simplifies maintenance and staff training.
