Bed Rail Entrapment Avoidance Side Wedges
Designed to prevent a patient from falling out of bed without requiring any rails for operation, Bed Rail Entrapment Avoidance Side Wedges are an incredibly handy way to avoid patient injury from 'roll out'. Their clever design enables the patient to get out of the bed without the entrapment and problems associated with rails. They provide around the clock protection whilst ensuring patients remain comfortable and dignified.
Please note, the Bed Rail Wedges pictured are available for purchase on their own or with a number of different extras items.
How Do the Side Wedges Work?
To provide the patient with non-restrictive protection against falling out of bed, the draw sheet should be attached to the bed with the easy-to-use, quick-release buckles. Then, the side wedges should be attached to the sheet on the hook and loop strips on either side of the sheet. These stay firmly in place to ensure the patient stays safely in place and prevents 'roll out', without the entrapment issues other products possess.
How Can the Entrapment Avoidance Side Wedges Help Me?
A range of conditions and illnesses require lengthy bed rest. These Side Wedges are designed to keep the patient safely in bed, without the restrictive design of rails and other enclosed products.
