  • Publication number: 20070151032
    Abstract: These bed hand rails are for use with rotatable hand grip rails on a bed. The rails comprise an arrangement of rails forming the hand grip rails, wherein the hand grip rails form an annular space; and a rigid or semi-rigid, perforated metallic cover is attached to the hand grip rails and covers the annular space. The cover has a rigidity that is substantially resistant to penetration by an appendage of a person.

  • Patent number: 6629325
    Abstract: This enabler cover for use with hand rails on a bed comprises a pad which fits around the rails of the hand rails. The pad, including a cover material, defines an interior space formed of the material. The material is flexible, non-abrasive and substantially resistant to penetration by an appendage of a person. The pad also includes a foam material filling the interior space defined by the cover material. Further, the cover material includes a means for enabling the enabler cover to fit around the rails of the hand rails. A mesh cover then covers any opening in the hand rails.

  • Patent number: 6347422
    Abstract: This article is a padded gap protector for hospital beds that provides zero clearance no matter what the articulated position of the bed is. The pad remains in compression with the mattress and closes the gap between the mattress and side rails. The pad provides a zero gap when the matters is in a horizontal position and when the mattress is secured in an articulate position such as an elevated position. Straps secure the pad to a bed frame beneath the mattress to maintain compression and a V-shaped section with no material or a soft material maintains the zero gap when the mattress is in an articulate position. Another set of straps secure the top of the pad to the top rail of the bed rails.
