Introducing the Inspiration 2 Cot

Building on the foundations of the pioneering original Inspiration cot, bed manufacturing specialists at Drive Medical have developed the next-generation paediatric model; the Inspiration 2 cot. Providing the latest solutions for acute paediatric care, the Inspiration 2 cot is a masterful combination of safety, strength and integral functionality, paired with a contemporary and playful design that will appeal to every young occupant.

UK-manufactured and compliant with the latest EN 50637:2017 paediatric bed standards, the Inspiration 2 cot guarantees the highest levels of quality and safety. An updated design of the integrated telescopic, drop-down side rails now features six adjustable height positions, with a range of 8–71.5cm above the mattress platform. A child-proof mechanism ensures the rails cannot be accidentally lowered or operated by the infant. The cot head and foot ends incorporate transparent panels to allow easy visibility and monitoring of little ones and can be completely removed, granting access to the patient from all angles when the side rails are lowered.

A playful design with a comforting character in a soft colour palette has been specially created to promote a reassuring and relaxing environment for children, helping both patients and caregivers feel calmer during medical treatment.

Featuring electrically operated height adjustment and head / foot-down platform tilt, the Inspiration 2 cot is available with or without a CPR function, allowing the mattress platform to be levelled quickly in an emergency. A range of optional accessories is available to further enhance functionality, including the Lullaby VE foam mattress, Apollo Infant dynamic mattress system, IV pole, oxygen cylinder holder and paediatric traction system.

The Design Team are thrilled to see their efforts over the last 18 months finally come to fruition with the launch of the Inspiration 2 cot. Our UK based Design and Manufacturing Teams have worked tirelessly to design and manufacture a cot for some of the smallest patients in hospital that not only complies with the paediatric bed safety standards, but is fun and attractive too. Building on the foundations of the original Inspiration cot, the Inspiration 2 is electrically adjustable and very easy to use, featuring a lock box that is intended to prevent children accessing the handset, in addition to built-in handset safety features. 360° patient access is provided via easy to use side rails and quick to remove head and foot ends, which feature transparent panels to provide full patient visibility in normal use. The initial customer feedback has been positive which is great to hear, and is a real boost for the Design and Manufacturing Teams in particular!”
