Besco Spring-Loaded Full-Length Bed Rail (Pair) - Medfirst ...A home care bed's "full rail" is a safety guard that extends along the entire length of the mattress, preventing falls by providing a barrier and a handrail, especially for elderly or infirm individuals who are at high risk of rolling out of bed. These rails are typically made of durable steel, attach to the bed frame, and often feature a spring-loaded, telescoping design for length adjustment and easy lowering for transfers. 

Purpose

Fall Prevention:

The primary purpose is to prevent patients from falling out of bed, especially those at a high risk of falling. 

Assistance:

Rails can also serve as a handrail for the user to grab onto when getting in and out of bed. 

Features & Design

Full-Length Coverage:

A "full" rail covers the entire length of the bed, providing continuous protection. 

Durable Construction:

They are usually made of strong, welded steel with a durable finish. 

Adjustable Length:

Many full-length rails are telescoping or spring-loaded, allowing them to adjust in length to fit different bed sizes and to be raised or lowered for patient transfers. 

Easy Installation:

Many models offer tool-free installation and removal for convenience. 

Compatibility:

They are designed to attach to the steel frame of hospital or home care beds and are available in models to fit most standard bed widths. 

Key Considerations

Patient Risk:

Full-length rails are generally recommended for patients with higher fall risk. 

Entrapment Prevention:

Some rails are designed to follow FDA safety guidelines to reduce entrapment risks for the patient. 

Bed Type:

Ensure the rails are compatible with your specific home care bed model, as some are designed for universal fit, while others are specific to certain manufacturers.
