Side rail protectors cover the hard surfaces and gaps of a bed rail, which matters for a client who moves a lot in bed, who has thin skin, or who has involuntary movement that brings limbs into contact with the frame.
These suit Malsch split side rails and are sold individually, so you can order for the head end or the foot end as required and replace only the section that is damaged. The handle opening sits in the middle of the protector, which keeps the rail usable as a support for repositioning and for sitting up.
Press stud fixings hold the protector in place and let care staff remove it for cleaning or laundering without tools. The vinyl surface wipes down, which suits a bed where continence or wound management is part of daily care.
