The Medicines and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have had reports of 21 bedrail related deaths from 2000 – 2006.

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.
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.
