Protect your patients from side rail entrapment
and injury
According to new guidelines published by the
Hospital Bed Safety Workgroup, "close
attention must be given to the design of the
rails and the relationship between rails and
other parts of the bed" in order to reduce
gaps that may allow a patient to become entrapped.
Posey's Bed
Safety products can help you close the openings
in bed rails, reduce gaps that may lead to
injury, and minimize bed rail use. Shown below
are four areas that are associated with entrapment
hazards, along with the products that can
help reduce the risk of injury. For complete
details on Posey's comprehensive line of Bed
Safety Products, contact your Posey distributor
