CONSIDERATIONS FOR USE
. The shaped bend in the base of the double bedstick needs to be facing toward the foot of the bed. This makes the bedstick more stable as the bottom and torso of the user will be lying over this section The majority of the occupants body weight will be holding it in place.
. Careful consideration needs to be taken when choosing a bed rail or bed stick. They may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in several ways. Entrapment of limbs or body parts may occur within the rails, or between the rails or stick and the bed. This may happen to those having a seizure, or rolling over in bed, or if unstable while transferring out of bed. Injury may also occur by an occupant falling onto a bed stick.
