Providing additional padded protection from hard headboards and footboards, the Hospital Bed Padded Footboard and Headboard Protector reduces the risk of contact injuries for patients and irreparable damage to walls or equipment.

Multifunctional To Suit your Requirements

Whether you require a cushioned headboard or footboard, designed to protect either the lower or upper portion of a patients body, you can adjust this product accordingly. Its multifunctional design allows it to fasten securely to either end of the bed, allowing you to use it to suit your requirements. If you require comprehensive protection for your patients and surroundings, purchase a pair to keep the headboard and footboard of the bed suitably cushioned. 

Reduces the Risk of Injury During Involuntary Movement

Many patients suffer from involuntary movements or seizures during the night which can cause serious injury or entrapment whilst 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 if they are moving their limbs throughout the night. 

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. The padded headboard and footboard protector safeguards expensive or custom hospital beds, as well as walls and wall-mounted equipment.

Tapered Design for Side Rail Tracking

The Padded Headboard and Footboard Protector is designed for protection and ease, with tapered sides and fastenings that don't require removal whilst adjusting bed side rails. Moving patients often needs to be a swift procedure, therefore opting for protectors that to not hinder the speed of retracting side rails is important to ensure patient safety and minimise the workload of caregivers.

Wipe-Clean Cover for Easy Sanitation

In-line with NHS guidelines, this protector is vapour permeable, reducing the risk of water or liquids infiltrating the fabric. This also facilitates easy sanitation, allowing you to simply wipe it down with disinfectant or hot water and soap for effortless maintenance and longevity.
