Bed Grab Rail

Short Description
A height adjustable bed grab rail designed to assist bed mobility and transfers. It is made of a powder coated steel frame which has six adjustment points and a padded foam grip for comfort. The frame features rounded curves and slips under the mattress. It may be used on either the right or left hand side of the bed.




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, or rolling over in bed, or if unstable while transferring out of bed. Injury may also occur by an occupant falling onto a bed stick.
