The Sidhil name has been synonymous with quality for many years, with the company enjoying an established reputation in the community, residential/nursing home and GP sectors for its flexible, functional electrically operated beds, surfaces and healthcare furniture.

In recent years, Sidhil has been rapidly gaining market share in the acute sector too with the development of a comprehensive range of ward beds and static/dynamic surfaces now competing successfully with the global giants and winning important contracts with NHS Trusts across the UK, as well as emerging export markets. Key to this expansion has been the company’s focus on innovation, backed up by investment in clinical expertise.

First established in 1888, Sidhil’s reputation for performance and quality is based on total commitment to the developing requirements of the healthcare market. The company’s sustained focus on research and development ensures a constant flow of new and improved products into all market sectors.

Focus on product excellence

The company has a history of award-winning product introductions and upgrades. Recent examples include the Innov8 Low ward bed, featuring a minimum platform height of just 218mm, one of the lowest available on the market today, and the Innov8 iQ ward bed, designed to provide total flexibility in terms of bed specification for applications from utility ward beds through to high dependency environments.

Sidhil’s latest Artemis and Apollo high specification dynamic therapy mattress systems combine exacting performance and ultimate reliability with defined clinical benefits. Developed in line with current nursing procedures, the new range delivers high to very high pressure care risk management as defined by the EPUAP and NICE guidelines, fulfilling the pressure care management needs of all healthcare environments, covering acute, community, nursing and residential care.
