Do Bed Bumpers Work?
A study based on the NPSA’s National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) estimated 1,250 reports of injuries from striking or trapping limbs in bedrails are made every twelve months from hospitals and mental health units in England and Wales. 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.

Reduces the Risk of Injuries During Involuntary Movement
Many patients suffer from involuntary movements or seizures during the night which can cause serious injury or entrapment if they are unsupervised. A cushioned headboard or footboard ensures the hard ends of the bed cannot cause an injury from excessive or repetitive impact. With this in place, your patient or loved one is unlikely to obtain bruising or contact injuries, should they be moving their limbs throughout the night.
Netted Base for Entrapment Avoidance
Unsupervised patients who suffer from confusion or involuntary movements and seizures can often get their limbs or body trapped under bed rails or mattresses. The addition of a netted base in this quilted protective set closes the gap between the bed rail and bed frame, whilst also allowing for the full range of movement necessary for profiling beds.
Protect Walls and Equipment from Damage
Hospital and care equipment is often costly and valuable, meaning it is essential to keep products free from damage to ensure its longevity. Hospital beds are moveable by nature with wheels to facilitate this, therefore it is important to safeguard equipment and beds. The padded headboard and footboard protector safeguards expensive or custom hospital beds, as well as walls and wall mounted equipment.
Secure Fastenings for Easy Application
The All-Round Quilted Protection Set features secure and adjustable velcro fastenings for easy application. Situations in healthcare settings can often change suddenly and it's essential that patient access is effortless and fast, free from excessive fastenings. This set ensures that retracting or removing bed rails or undoing the protective cover is a swift procedure to ensure patient safety and to minimise the workload of caregivers.
Closed Corners for Added Protection
This set upholds its promise of 'all round protection', going further than just applying quilted covering to the bed rails and head or footboards. By providing additional coverage to wrap around the corners of the bed, this reduces the risk of accidental damage to the bed, surrounding areas or equipment when in transit.
Breathe Through Fabric to Avoid Asphyxiation
Patient safety is the number one priority in healthcare settings. Whilst protecting expensive equipment and hospital beds is important, it is essential to prioritise the comfort and security of patients. This set features breathe through material to eliminate the risk of accidental asphyxiation.
Machine Washable for Easy Sanitation
Regular and thorough sanitation is a requirement for healthcare settings, therefore investing in accessories and additions that facilitate easy maintenance is only one of the ways to reduce unnecessary workload for caregivers. This protective set is machine washable with a durable construction, meaning its quilted and protective qualities will not diminish with washing.
