Why Should I Use Bed Rail Protectors?

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 Bed Rail Protectors?

• Elderly patients vulnerable to falls
• 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.

Prevents Patient Entrapment 

Patients who suffer from involuntary movements or seizures can easily get their limbs trapped in between bed rails whilst unsupervised during the night causing bruising and injury, as well as potential bed falls. Transparent bed rail protectors remove the risk of injury from harsh contact and create a seal to prevent patients pushing their limbs between the bed rails.

What Kind of Bed Rails Are Compatible?

These Netted Bed Rail Protectors are compatible with two-bar metal bumpers in a range of different sizes, meaning they are versatile and compatible with most traditional hospital beds. They simply drape over the rails on either side and attach at the bottom via the four hook and loop fasteners. 

Are Netted Bed Rail Covers Suitable for Profiling Beds?

These Netted Bumpers are compatible with beds that profile as the bumpers stay in place. If the rails on your bed fold down, please remove your protectors before lowering your rails to avoid damage to either component.

What Beds are These Netted Covers Compatible With?

There are a variety of Bed Rail Net Covers available to suit several different bed rail sizes. All of the Bed Rail Net Covers are supplied in pairs. Please select the required length of the net covers from the drop down menu above.
