A divided bed (also called amputee bed or stump bed) is specifically designed for patients with leg amputations. The top bed linens are split into two separate sections that can be folded back independently to access the residual limb while keeping the rest of the patient covered. This design facilitates: regular inspection of the surgical site for signs of infection, hematoma, or poor healing; dressing changes and wound care; proper positioning to prevent contractures (using trochanter rolls, pillows for support); range of motion exercises; phantom limb pain management; and patient education on stump care. The divided bed maintains patient dignity, provides warmth and comfort, and supports rehabilitation goals. Other special beds include: cardiac beds (semi-Fowler's position), fracture beds (with Balkan frame for traction), and postoperative beds (with extra supplies for emergencies). Proper bed making is a fundamental nursing skill that promotes comfort, safety, and therapeutic outcomes.
