Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
Turning Rails, sometimes called half rails, are used for patients who benefit from holding a rail when turning in bed or getting in and out of bed. The Bed Rail Protector for Turning – Half Rail fills the gap in turning rails. Some patients may roll or slip through the rail, and this protector helps reduce the risk of this occurring.
The Bed Rail Protector for Turning – Half Rail is see-through, easy to clean, and can be removed when not required. It also helps prevent pillows from falling off the bed.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
This product may assist people who use turning rails but are at risk of entrapment in bed rails. Entrapment risks may include an arm, leg, or head becoming caught in the rails.
It also helps prevent pillows from falling off the bed.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Position the protector with the webbing on the outside. Ensure there is space on both sides of the rail for the patient’s hands. Adjust the height so the top rail can be comfortably held. Secure the hook & loop tape over the top rail and trim if required. When fitting, pull the webbing firmly through the small black plastic loop to achieve a secure fit.
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?
Webbing, wipeable material.

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.
