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.
