Item Details

ILC Reference NO 21:51:153
Item sourced from ILC SA database
Short Description
A lightweight steel tubing pole which has a "U" shaped base which fits under the mattress with either one or two posts on one or both sides of the bed. Designed to assist in transferring and bed mobility.
Caution
Careful consideration needs to be taken when choosing a bed rail or bed stick. They may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in several ways. Entrapment of limbs or body parts may occur within the rails, or between the rails or stick and the bed. This may happen to those having a seizure, rolling over in bed or if unstable while transferring out of bed. Injury may also occur by an occupant falling onto a bed stick.
More Details
The bed stick is designed to fit under the mattress on top of the base. It does not interfere with bed making.
Two sizes are available to fit either a single or a double bed.
The bed stick should be located approximately 560mm (22") from the head of the bed.
Installation
It is recommended to check regularly that the bed pole is always positioned as close to the mattress edge as possible.
It should not be used in circumstances where there is a gap between the bed stick and the mattress, or potential gap if the device or mattress moves due to possible risk of entrapment.
Incorrect positioning of the bedrail can lead to injury.
