The price of hospital beds varies greatly, typically ranging from 5,000. This wide range primarily depends on the type of hospital bed, its functional complexity, and the intended application scenario.
It is important to note that this price range typically refers to the base price of the hospital bed frame. Additional accessories or features such as mattresses, safety rails, meal trays, and IV stands are generally sold separately and are not included in the aforementioned base price.

•Safety rails: Typically sold separately, with prices ranging from approximately 300 per pair.
