Cleaning Instructions:
Wipe clean with soap and water or disinfectant.
Posey Bed Bumpers provide soft padding to help protect from side rail
injury and deter unassisted bed exit by closing the gaps between the
mattress and the side rails. The low profile design protrudes just 5” (13
cm) above the mattress, aids in continuous monitoring and allows the
patient to see out. The hook and loop straps allow fast and easy
application and removal. Bumpers can be zipped together to create
different lengths to help close the gaps between split side rails. Made
of durable plush foam. Meets CA #117, Section E Flame Retardancy
Standards.

Monitoring
Posey Bed Bumpers will not prevent a determined
patient from exiting the bed, going over or attempting to go
between or through side rail gaps. DO NOT articulate bed if
product is applied. ALWAYS follow your facility’s policies and
procedures for patient assessment, monitoring and rehabilitation.
Application Instructions:
1. Inspect product prior to use. DO NOT use soiled or damaged
products.
2. Position the Posey Bed Bumper on the inside of the side rail so
that the wedge fits snugly between the mattress and the side
rail (see image at right for orientation).
3. Open the hook and loop straps and reapply them so that the
Posey Bed Bumper is secured to the side rail.
4. Check for proper fit. Modified beds may not be compatible with
Posey Bed Bumpers.
Posey Bed Bumpers have multiple uses:
Figure A: Use one to close the gap between the half side rails.
Figure B: Use one to cover the half side rail at the head or foot of
the bed.
Figure C: Zip two together to provide full length protection of
double half rails, three quarter, or full side rails.
Figure D: Use at head or foot of bed to cover/protect the
headboard or footboard. Straps will not go around
headboard or footboard .
