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.
Who Can Benefit From Quilted Bedside Bumpers?
- Patients with epilepsy
- Individuals with burns, open wounds, or weakened immune systems
- Elderly patients vulnerable to falls
- Those who suffer from excessive bruising (ecchymosis)
- 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 Bed 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. Quilted 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. The Bedside Bumpers are manufactured from a hydrophobic, wipe clean material that does not absorb liquids or spillages, ensuring maintenance is fast and easy.
Extended Tucks For Additional Security
Featuring extended tucks, these Quilted Bedside Bumpers have increased security and stability once fastened into place. With additional fabric that tucks beneath the mattress, the bumpers are weighted down in place, keeping them securely held to the bedrails, despite excessive movement.
