Why Should I Use Bedside Bumpers?
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.

What Type of Bed Rails are These Bumpers Compatible With?
These Bedside Bumpers with Net Windows are designed to be used exclusively on two rail profiling beds. The net base allows for the full degree of movement necessary when adjusting the bed, ensuring the bumpers do not need to be removed and re-applied consistently. Explore our range of hospital beds with side rails, where compatible products can also be purchased.
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. 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.
Quilted Material For Cushioning and Shock Absorption
Featuring a quilted material, these bumpers provide a cushioned wall for the bed that is soft to touch, allowing patients to feel comfortable throughout the night. The padded inner offers a high level of shock absorption to reduce any impact between limbs and the hard sides of the bed.
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.
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 an unnecessary workload for caregivers. These bedside bumpers are machine washable with a durable construction, meaning the quilted and protective qualities will not diminish with washing.
What Lengths Are Available?
The Bed Rail Bumpers with Net Windows and Split Netting Base are available in a range of different lengths to suit a variety of needs. A longer bumper could be more suitable for taller patients or those at higher risk of injuring their lower limbs, as it will provide full-length coverage.
