With the Bedside Bumpers with Net Windows (Three-Rail Profiling Bed), these dangers are alleviated, ensuring hard surfaces are padded and open gaps have been covered over. The see-through netted windows ensure patients are clearly visible at all times and can see out to minimise the risk of inducing anxiety.

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.

Are Three Rail Profiling Bed 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 excessive bruising (ecchymosis) 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 with netting across the gaps reduces the risk of both bruising or injury.
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.
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.
