Turning Rails, sometimes called half rail, are used for patients who benefit by holding onto the turning rail when they turn over or get out of bed. The Bed Rail Protector for Turning – Half Rail, fills the gap in turning rails. Some patients may roll and slip through the Turning Rail, so this protector will help to stop the patient from going through the Turning Rail.

The Bed Rail Protector for Turning – Half Rail, is easy to see through. It is easy to wipe clean and remove when not needed.

To Fit

Position the Protector with the webbing on the outside. Allow room on both sides of the rail for the patient’s hands. Adjust the height so they can hold the top rail. Secure the Hook & Loop Tape over the top rail and cut to size if necessary. When fitting, pull the webbing firmly through the small black plastic loop to make a tight fit.

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. This entrapment can lead to death due to positional asphyxiation, 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. This entrapment can happen if an old mattress with very soft sides is on the bed, if a mattress that is too narrow is on the bed, or if an Air Cell type mattress is used.
