Why Should I Use Bedside Bumpers?

The Medicines and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have had reports of 21 bedrail related deaths from 2000 – 2006. Bedside bumpers have been specifically designed to reduce the number of injuries and deaths related to bedside railings entrapment.
Who Can Benefit From Padded Bedside Bumpers?
- Patients with epilepsy
- Elderly patients vulnerable to falls
- Those who suffer from excessive bruising (ecchymosis)
- Patients who suffer from confusion, agitation or delirium
- Anyone who experiences repetitive or involuntary movements
- People with high or low body mass (which may change entrapment risks)
- People with variable levels of consciousness, or those under sedation
Are the Bedside Rail Bumpers Easy to Fit?
These bumpers use easy to fit hook and loop fastenings along the bottom edge making them straightforward and effortless to set up and secure. The fastening on the bottom edge prevents anyone from accidentally unhooking it, helping to improve patient safety.
Prevent Entrapment and Reduce Risk of Bruising
Patients who suffer from involuntary movements or seizures can easily get their arms trapped in between bed rails or cause limb injury from harsh contact with the rails throughout the night. Full length padded bumpers remove the risk of injury from harsh contact and create a seal to prevent patients pushing their limbs between the bed sides and mattress.
Claustrophobia Relief
Patients with claustrophobia or a similar anxiety inducing condition may react badly to bumpers without windows. The Bedside Bumpers with Net Windows allow a patient to see the entirety of their surroundings, lowering their anxiety and making them feel comfortable and safe.
Permanent Visiblity
It is vital that patients in a volatile state or those with a condition that can change quickly are permanently visible. Bumpers with net windows provide all the excellent safety features of standard bumpers whilst remaining transparent. This allows any relevant healthcare professional to see the condition of a patient from anywhere in the near vicinity.
Wipe Clean Material for Effortless Maintenance
Accidents and spillages are common occurrences and it is essential to invest in bumpers that repel liquids or food to prolong their life. These Bedside Bumpers are manufactured from a hydrophobic, wipe clean material that does not absorb liquids or spillages, ensuring maintenance is fast and easy.
Full Length Composition for Added Protection
Full length padded bumpers that cover the entire length of the bed rail provide added protection, ensuring the patients legs or feet can't get trapped or stuck between the bed rails. The padded cushioning prevents them from bruising or injuring themselves from hard impact or excessive movement.
