The Able Life Bedside Extend-A-Rail does two jobs for a client who is unsteady at the bedside. Extended, it acts as a guard rail along the edge of the mattress for someone who moves about at night and is at risk of rolling out. Retracted, it becomes a handle to pull and push against when moving from lying to sitting to standing.
The length changes with a push button, so a carer or the client can switch between the two uses without tools. The rail slides under the mattress on a base tube and is held with a safety strap around the bed frame, which suits domestic beds where a clamp on rail is not an option.
It is worth considering where the bedside is the place falls are happening and the bed is a domestic one.
