One of the primary functions of bedside rails is to prevent falls. For individuals with disabilities or those recovering from surgery, getting in and out of bed can pose significant risks. Bedside rails serve as a safety barrier that helps to minimize the chance of falling out of bed during the night or while transitioning from bed to wheelchair. This is particularly important for patients who may experience dizziness or weakness, as the rails provide a reliable support system to assist them in maintaining stability.

As healthcare continues to evolve toward out-of-hospital settings, home care beds are becoming increasingly popular. These beds offer adjustable features similar to hospital beds but are designed for use in a patient’s home. They provide comfort and functionality, allowing caregivers to assist patients effectively while enabling them to maintain some level of independence.
