Posey® Padded Side Rail Covers

The Posey Padded Side Rail Covers are designed for Hill-Rom beds
outfitted with rectangular split side rails (Fig. 2), including the
Hill-Rom Centra® 850/852 beds and the Hill-Rom Century®
835/837/840/842 beds.

The padded covers are designed to cover the gaps found within the
side rails to help prevent entrapment, as well as offering a padded
inner panel to help protect the patient from the hard metal
surfaces of an unprotected side rail.

Bed rails may be raised or lowered without removing the padded
protective cover. The covers are designed with clear vinyl windows
specifically for controls located in the upper rails of Hill-Rom
Centra® beds, but can also be used on other Hill-Rom beds noted
above, as well as the lower rails. Meets CA #117, Section E Flame
Retardancy Standards.
