Bed safety rails enable a person to avoid possible injury from falling out of bed and help alleviate other risks that can be associated with falling, such as back, head, hip or leg injuries. Therefore, a safety rail keeps them protected.įall prevention is very important for the elderly as well as children, and anyone with mobility challenges, when in bed. Sometimes, an individual is not always able to think clearly due to an illness, accident or the medications being used to treat a medical condition.
They are an important means of providing security and safety for those who are confined to a bed for any length of time or for those who just need something to grab onto to get out of bed. Bed safety rails are barriers, which can be made from a type of metal or steel, that attach to one or both sides of a bed to prevent an individual from falling out of bed.
