Posey Soft Rails are a safe alternative to side rails and help prevent
patients at risk for falls from rolling out of bed, while allowing sufficient
space for patient comfort. The adjustable bolster may be repositioned
to accommodate individual resident needs, or may be completely
removed. The Posey Soft Rails easily attach to the bed with quick-
release buckles and are available in machine washable brushed
polyester, or wipe clean vinyl covers.
