Why It’s Important to Use Bed Rail Net Covers

A study based on the NPSA’s National Reporting and Learning System (NRLS) estimated 1,250 reports of injuries from striking or trapping limbs in bedrails are made every twelve months from hospitals and mental health units in England and Wales. The Medicines and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have had reports of 21 bedrail related deaths from 2000 – 2006. Bed Rail Net Covers are an effective way to stop patients from becoming trapped by bed railings, preventing the majority of the most serious injuries associated with bed railings.
