Important
Warning: When Bed Rails are used, it is possible for people to be entrapped between the edge of the mattress and the Bed Rail. This may also happen if a Bed Rail Protector is being used. Entrapment can lead to death, so it is very important to do a risk assessment for the Patient and regularly check that they do not manoeuvre themselves into a dangerous position. Please contact us for more information.
Consider taking advice from a Therapist to make sure this product is suitable for you.
FAQ's
What if our bed rails are longer than 167cm / 65.5″?
If your bed rails are longer than 167cm / 65.5″, we can either quote you for making a custom-made product, or you can consider the Bed Rail Protector – Strap on. The difference is that the Bed Rail Protector – Strap on is completely covered in Mediflextra with no printed polycotton material. Because the Slip Over version has a printed polycotton material on the outside, they look a lot more homely than the Bed Rail Protector – Strap On.
Do the Bed Rail Protectors have to be removed to lower the rails?
We recommend removing the Bed Rail Protectors while the bed rails are down. Many facilities leave them on, so it depends on the type of bed rails you have. In America, where there are many split Bed Rails, they need to be removed completely.
