Fall protection mat 462S

Main Features An excellent crash mat to help prevent injury from bed falls For patients who cannot walk, or who climb over bedrails, and then fall Supplied with a warning sign to avoid a tripping hazard Highly visible tape on edge to warn staff in low light Single layer of dense foam Also available: Bed Fall Mat – Heat Sealed, with 100% heat sealed waterproof material cover Some patients climb over bed rails, fall to the ground and are injured. A way to help avoid injury is to lower the bed as much as possible and place the Bed Fall Mat, sometimes known as a Crash Mat, next to the bed, so if the patient gets out of bed, then they will have a soft surface to fall on. It may help if the bed is placed next to the wall. If only one bed rail is raised, the patient will then get out of bed on the side where the bed rail is removed. We recommend completely removing the bed rail, rather than simply lowering it. By leaving the rail in the lower position the patient may hurt themselves against the rail if they fall.
