Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The Bed Rail Protector – Clear, will allow the Patient to see the room from the bed when they are lying down in bed. The benefit of being able to see through the Protector may help many people who may feel trapped and enclosed, compared to the normal foam padded Bed Rail Protectors – Slip Over. This item may be of interest if you are wondering how to stop Patients falling out of bed.

As the Carers will be able to see the Patient better, they will see where the Patient’s head, hands or feet are. This way you can make sure they are not at risk, pressed up against the bed rail. It also ensures they are not at risk of bed rail entrapment.

Be warned that some Patients may be distracted when they look through the Clear Protector. They may try to reach out to touch some flowers, etc. If this is likely to happen then consider the foam padded Bed Rail Protectors – Slip Over.

There is some foam padding that is fitted over the top rail. This is to help protect the legs and arms of Patients who may put their limbs over the top rail. There is no foam in the main part of the protector. If this had a foam insert, then it would not be possible to see through the protector. However the clear plastic will help stop people getting their arms, legs and head entrapped in the bed rails.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

This product may help people who may be at risk of entrapment in the bed rails. Entrapment may include getting their arm, leg or possibly their head caught in the rails.

BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Place the protector over the top rail of the bed rail with the three buckle straps on the outside of the bed rail. Tuck the clear plastic down between the side of the mattress and the bed rail. Thread the webbing down under the bottom bar of the bed rail and then attach. Keep some tension on the webbing to pull the side of the Bed Rail Protector down while fastening.

When lowering the bed rails it may be possible to leave the Bed Rail Protector in place. Normally it is easier to completely remove them before lowering the bed rails.

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?

Foam, Wipeable Material, Webbing, Plastic Buckles.

Note: The video demonstration shows an older version of this product with four buckles. The design has since been modified to three buckles to make fitting the Protector easier.

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.

How to thread a buckle: It is vital that a buckle is threaded on the webbing strap correctly. Incorrect fitting could result in the product not performing as expected, and may put the users at risk of injury. Click here to see our video demonstrating how to thread a new buckle onto the webbing.

Consider taking advice from a Therapist to make sure this product is suitable for you.
