Where the monitor can sit beside the bed, a corded pad is the straightforward choice. The Cura1 2626 Premium Bed Pad lies on the mattress under the sheet and connects by cable to a Cura1 premium falls monitor, which raises an out of bed alert as soon as pressure leaves the pad.
Being corded means there is no transmitter to buy and no battery in the loop at all: the monitor powers the pad, so the only maintenance is replacing the pad on its service cycle. It ships with a break cord that pulls apart if someone catches it, which protects both the pad and the monitor. The cover is non-allergenic soft PVC and wipes clean, and vent holes in the neck of the pad reduce moisture getting inside.
It suits clients who get out of bed unassisted and are at risk of falling, whether from cognitive impairment, night time confusion or a mobility restriction after surgery. If a cable across the floor would be a hazard in the room, or the monitor has to live elsewhere, the cordless 2629 pad is the alternative.
