In addition to their primary function of preventing falls, bedside safety rails also offer patients the ability to reposition themselves in bed. Patients recovering from surgery or those with limited mobility often struggle to change positions. Safety rails provide support, allowing these individuals to lift themselves up or adjust their position without straining. This sense of independence is crucial for a patient's mental well-being during recovery, as it instills confidence and promotes a faster rehabilitation process.

1. Weight and Portability The weight of the rollator can impact its usability. Lightweight models are easier to handle and transport, making them ideal for active users.

When selecting a rollator, it’s essential to consider several factors. First, the weight capacity should align with the user’s needs, ensuring stability and safety. Second, adjustable handle heights can provide comfort and prevent strain during use. Finally, look for a model with a foldable design for easy storage and transport, ensuring that your rollator is as convenient as it is functional.

The first step in choosing a patient bed is to understand the different types available. Hospital beds generally fall into three main categories manual, semi-electric, and fully electric beds.
