Side Rail Models for the EasyCare 2100 Bed

Sunrise Medical offers several side rail designs for Joerns beds. Rotating side rails are easily raised or lowered with one hand. This leaves the other hand free to assist the patient or to hold medicines or meals.

Half Rails
The most flexible option is the rotating half rails. These rails come in sets of two, and are available for the head section only, or for extra protection, both head and foot sections. All four sections can be raised or lowered individually. This permits a wide range of patient protection or freedom as needs change.(figure 7)

Fig. 7

3/4 and Full Length Rails

Sunrise Medical also offers full or 3/4 length rails for greater patient protection. Remember, always use a mattress thick enough and wide enough so that the gap between the top of the mattress and the bottom of the rail is small enough to prevent a patient from getting their head between the mattress and side rail and possibly suffocating.(figure 8)
