BED SAFETY

Posey Bed Bumpers provide soft padding to help protect from side rail
injury and deter unassisted bed exit by closing the gaps between the
mattress and the side rails. The low profile design protrudes just 5” (13
cm) above the mattress, aids in continuous monitoring and allows the
patient to see out. The hook and loop straps allow fast and easy
application and removal. Bumpers can be zipped together to create
different lengths to help close the gaps between split side rails. Made
of durable plush foam. Meets CA #117, Section E Flame Retardancy
Standards.

Bed Bumpers

Monitoring

Posey Bed Bumpers will not prevent a determined
patient from exiting the bed, going over or attempting to go
between or through side rail gaps. DO NOT articulate bed if
product is applied. ALWAYS follow your facility’s policies and

procedures for patient assessment, monitoring and rehabilitation.

Application Instructions:

1. Inspect product prior to use. DO NOT use soiled or damaged

products.

2. Position the Posey Bed Bumper on the inside of the side rail so

that the wedge fits snugly between the mattress and the side
rail (see image at right for orientation).

3. Open the hook and loop straps and reapply them so that the

Posey Bed Bumper is secured to the side rail.

4. Check for proper fit. Modified beds may not be compatible with

Posey Bed Bumpers.

Posey Bed Bumpers have multiple uses:

Figure A: Use one to close the gap between the half side rails.
Figure B: Use one to cover the half side rail at the head or foot of

the bed.

Figure C: Zip two together to provide full length protection of

double half rails, three quarter, or full side rails.

Figure D: Use at head or foot of bed to cover/protect the

headboard or footboard. Straps will not go around
headboard or footboard.

Cleaning Instructions:

Wipe clean with soap and water or disinfectant.
