Thorpe Mill Connected Cotside Entrapment Prevention Bumpers

Patients with seizures and conditions associated with involuntary movement are unfortunately prone to getting their legs and arms caught in the railings of their hospital bed. Thorpe Mill Connected Cotside Entrapment Prevention Bumpers fit underneath a bed mattress to drape over the rails on either side of a patient, covering gaps in the railings to prevent limbs getting caught if a seizure or episode occurs.
