The Posey Padded Side Rail Covers are designed for Hill-Rom beds
outfitted with rectangular split side rails (Fig. 2), including the
Hill-Rom Centra® 850/852 beds and the Hill-Rom Century®

side rails to help prevent entrapment, as well as offering a padded
inner panel to help protect the patient from the hard metal
surfaces of an unprotected side rail.

protective cover. The covers are designed with clear vinyl windows
specifically for controls located in the upper rails of Hill-Rom
Centra® beds, but can also be used on other Hill-Rom beds noted
above, as well as the lower rails. Meets CA #117, Section E Flame
