Manufacturer's description
An inflatable rectangular cushion providing essential assistance to lift and transfer the user's legs into bed independently or with the minimum of moving and handling risk to the carer. The Leglifter is portable and lightweight and will fit most beds (including profiling beds). It will help to maintain independent living. The Leglifter is operated by low air pressure using the Airflo compressor.
Help and advice
It is essential that bed rails are suitable for the people who are using them and compatible with the particular beds being used. Bed rails should never be used to restrain a person.
If the user is likely to attempt to climb over the rails and fall from an even greater height, it may be worth considering placing a mattress directly onto the floor. Caring for someone at floor level can be problematic, but in certain cases it provides a safer and more dignified solution.
Side rails can pose a risk of serious injury, for example if part of the body gets trapped between them. Thus it is essential that care is taken when selecting, positioning and adjusting the rails and also when choosing or changing the type of mattress to be used in a bed with rails so as not to put the user at risk. Read further important safety information on bed rails.
