Installation
The position of the Bed Rail (which should
ideally be based on a clinical assessment)
should be such that when placed under the
mattress with the handle fitted, the client
(from a lying position) should be able to reach
the handle without stretching.
It is intended that the handle should be
positioned so that it angles away from the
bed head as shown in Diagram 1.
