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. Connected 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 Connected Bedside Bumpers are manufactured from a hydrophobic, wipe clean material that does not absorb liquids or spillages, ensuring maintenance is fast and easy.
Third Rail Extension for Versatile Usability
This model of bedside bumper is versatile and compatible with both two and three rail bedsides, allowing you to adjust and extend the bumper to fit a three rail bed if necessary. It is originally designed for two bar rails and can be extended and secured to fit a three rail bed.
