FAQs
- Q: Can Posey Seizure Side Rail Pads completely restrict a patient’s movement?
A: No, these pads are not designed to completely prevent a patient from leaving the bed. They are meant to assist in patient care and monitoring.
Product Introduction
Posey Seizure Pads are form fitted to fit snugly over the existing bed side
rails with a 1″ (3 cm) layer of medium density foam to help safeguard against
accidental patient injury. The outer shell is constructed from lightweight
sheer nylon denier to help prevent patient “rub” burns and
allows unobstructed movement of the side rails to the lowered position. The
nylon cover is backed with a urethane waterproof coating that easily wipes
clean with liquid disinfectant. Open windows in upper section to allow for
easy access to controls on most bed models. Navy Blue.
Monitoring
WARNING: Posey Seizure Side Rail Pads will not prevent a determined patient from exiting the bed, going over or attempting to go between or through side rail gaps. Not all hospital beds allow for full articulation when this product is applied. Slowly articulate the head of the bed to ensure compatibility. Always follow your facility’s policies and procedures for patient assessment, monitoring and rehabilitation.
Application Instructions
- Inspect product set prior to use. Do not use soiled or damaged products.
- Identify each of the components in the set. Each pad has sewn-in tags, identifying its intended location from the perspective of lying down in the bed (Fig. 1).
- Place each of the pads onto the proper side rail and shift it into position (Fig. 2).
- Securely fasten all the plastic side release buckle fasteners along the edges of each pad (Figs. 3 and 4).
- Lower each of the side rails to check clearances (Fig. 5). Note that there may be some resistance as the rails are completely lowered. This should be expected as there are close manufacturing tolerances between the bed and the side rail. The shear nylon covers are chosen to minimize any potential binding.
- Check for proper fit. Modified beds may not be compatible with Posey Seizure Side Rail Pads.
