We will never forget.

FDA updates guidelines regarding bed rails and entrapment.

Least Restrictive: Restraints vs Bed Falls: As falling from a bed is one of the most common falls for patients and the elderly, finding methods to limit falling from a bed without restraining or inhibiting important, functional, mobility is critical.

Within the movement towards a least restrictive environment, companies have been pushing the idea that bed rails are an excellent option. . Unfortunately, data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission reports between January 2003-Sept 2012, 155 deaths were due to bed rails in addition to almost 37,000 bed rail related injuries treated at hospital emergency room between 2003-2011.

MOXI Enterprises manufactures a non-restraint option; a universal bolster cover called the Protect You 2. It is the safest, non-restraint, universal mattress cover for rail free facilities. This is a full enclosure cover designed to fit most standard size mattresses with a voluntary ingress/egress bolster sections to address rolling concerns. The cover is fluid resistant, anti-microbial, easy to wipe down, and meets CAL 117/CFR 16 Part 1632 flame retardant standards.

Open communication and education between families and staff to assess and assure the least restrictive environment has to be considered and what is needed for all involved to become comfortable with new options available today.
