Benefits of Bed Rails

Bed rails are helpful for a variety of reasons. Some examples of these include:

Mobility

Bed rails help patients to get in and out of bed easily, since they allow for adequate grip by patients who might have otherwise compromised hand strength. In addition, these rails also help patients to move themselves in the night, if they want to to roll over to sleep on their side.

Security

Bed rails help reduce the likelihood of falls out of bed by securing the patient within their bed space. This also helps to reduce patients knocking over nearby devices, such as glasses of water or other hazards.

Comfort

Bed rails help patient comfort through increased mobility and safety.

Carer Convenience

Bed rails help to make lives easier for carers for manuevering patients easily. Moreover, side rails can be used to attach devices onto them for improved patient treatment and rehabilitation.
