Delivery beds, also known as birthing beds or labor beds, are specialized medical beds used by women during childbirth and labor. These beds are specifically designed to provide expectant mothers with comfort, support, and safety while also allowing healthcare professionals easy access to provide care. Adjustable positions and mechanisms are common in delivery beds to accommodate different stages of labor and delivery. They allow for positions such as sitting, semi-reclining, lithotomy (legs raised and bent), and Trendelenburg (tilted with the head lower than the feet) to aid in the birthing process and provide comfort to the mother. To ensure the safety of both the mother and the medical staff, delivery beds include features, such as lockable wheels, side rails, and emergency stop buttons. These characteristics aid in the prevention of falls and provide stability during the delivery process. Some delivery beds are made of easy-to-clean and maintain materials, promoting infection control and a sterile environment for the mother and newborn. The growing population coupled with the investments in healthcare sector are the major driving factors for the global delivery beds market throughout the forecasted period.
