(Option)
As an alternative option to the lateral folding cotsides, SX Surface
eXtending cotsides are also available which serve as a standard
trolley cotside, but which also ratchet to different angles to
accommodate larger patient sizes and which also ratchet to near-
horizontal, giving an extended patient surface for larger bariatric
patients with even larger physical body mass
The SX cotsides have 3 ratchet positions plus near vertical, near
horizontal and fully down, 6 positions in total.
The ratchet position angles from horizontal are 10
