Bed rails, also known as side rails or cot sides, are essential tools in the healthcare environment, widely used to reduce the risk of falls and provide additional safety for patients.
These rails serve as a barrier, preventing individuals from accidentally rolling out of bed, which can be particularly beneficial for those with limited mobility, cognitive impairments, or during recovery from surgery.
While bed rails can be highly effective, it's crucial to ensure they are used appropriately and tailored to the specific needs of each patient. For further information on the safe use of bed rails and bumpers, including guidelines, best practices, and detailed instructions, please click here.
