Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Bed Rail Protectors – strap-on type fit over the side rails of a bed. The soft foam provides protection from injury if the person in bed kicks or strikes the rails. The protector folds over the top of the bed rail and is open on the sides. If the person places an arm or leg over the rail, the flap helps cushion contact with the metal frame.
Confused patients may benefit from this product. They may be at risk of bed rail entrapment or may injure themselves by hitting the bed rails or getting an arm, leg, or head caught in the structure.
The inner surface near the patient is a beige wipeable vinyl. The cover is designed to help protect against contamination from urine, faeces, vomit, blood, and other fluids. The cover can be removed for washing, but is generally suitable for wipe-clean use. It is durable and long lasting.

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.
