Bed Rail Entrapment
Hospital Bed Side Rails Lawyer
When a patient becomes trapped between the bed and the bed rails or side rails, it is called entrapment. This usually happens because the mattress is unsuited for the frame and a space is created between the bed rail and the mattress, leaving an area for the patient to become trapped in. Although it is not a very common incident, when it does happen, it is usually fatal.The FDA has strong policies on medical devices. You can visit their site for specific information on hospital bed safety. Also check out the FDA’s specific online reporting form for adverse events such as bed rail injuries or injuries resulting in death.
