A report was released in mid February 2019 following the very sad deaths of three elderly people over a three year period. The report recommended that metal hoop bed levers should have three bars and a gap between the vertical bars of no more than 60 mm to 100 mm, recommended 85 mm. In addition it is recommended that they all be fitted with a cord with cleat system to secure the lever safely under and hard up against the mattress leaving no gaps where a person could become trapped. The placement of the bed lever from the position of the pillow is also extremely important. Fixing to UPVC plastic door frames should be avoided as the frames are unlikely to have the necessary internal materials in the required area to support a grab rail's fixings. We are delighted to tell you that the NRS Healthcare EasyFit Plus+ Bed Rail has been tried and tested by our team of Occupational Therapists who are proud to give it the OT Recommended seal of approval.

Assessment by a qualified Occupational Therapist is recommended to ensure this Bed lever is appropriate for your needs.

Grab rails by the toilet are often fixed to the wall alongside the toilet, but if this is not possible (due to the toilet being too far from the wall or a partition wall or a radiator being in the way for example), then a drop down rail that extends from the wall behind the toilet could be used (see below).
