Why Should I Use Bedside Bumpers?

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?

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.
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.
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 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 wipe clean for disinfection in seconds.
