5743 - TIDI Posey® Custom-Fitted Side Rail Seizure Pads - Hill-Rom® Beds, VersaCare® Med Surg Beds

Posey® Custom-Fitted Side Rail Seizure Pads - Hill-Rom® Beds, VersaCare® Med Surg Beds

Please note: All prices are for individual sets.

The Posey® Custom-Fitted Side Rail Seizure Pads (5743) are high-density foam safety components specifically engineered to provide protection for patients with seizure disorders. These pads are precision-contoured to fit the unique geometry of the Hill-Rom® VersaCare® Med Surg bed rails, ensuring total coverage of the hard metal or plastic surfaces. By creating a cushioned barrier between the patient and the side rails, these pads significantly reduce the risk of impact-related injuries, such as bruising or lacerations, during tonic-clonic seizure activity or periods of intense agitation.

Constructed for durability and infection control, each pad is encased in a soft, clinical-grade vinyl cover that is fluid-resistant and easy to sanitize between uses. The custom-fit design features a secure attachment system that prevents the pads from shifting or slipping, maintaining a consistent protective envelope around the patient. Importantly, these pads are designed to allow full functionality of the bed’s articulating components, ensuring that caregivers can adjust the head or foot of the bed without removing the safety equipment. This specialized solution is an essential part of a comprehensive seizure-safety protocol in acute care environments.

Key Features

• Custom Contour Fit: Specifically designed to mirror the shape of Hill-Rom® VersaCare® rails for a seamless, gaps-free protective interface.

• High-Impact Foam Core: Features 1-inch thick, high-density foam that absorbs energy during patient impact to minimize the risk of injury.

• Fluid-Resistant Vinyl Cover: The smooth, non-porous exterior resists the penetration of bodily fluids and can be cleaned with hospital-grade disinfectants.

• Secure Fastening System: Utilizes a series of reinforced straps or zippers to ensure the pads remain firmly anchored to the rails during vigorous movement.

• Full Bed Functionality: Engineered to remain in place while the bed rails are raised or lowered and while the bed is placed in various articulated positions.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Seizure Monitoring Units: Provides a critical safety barrier for patients undergoing diagnostic monitoring or those with known epilepsy.

• High-Acuity Med Surg: Ideal for patients on VersaCare® beds who are at risk for self-injury due to neurological conditions or extreme restlessness.

• Post-Operative Recovery: Protects disoriented patients from impacting hard bed surfaces during the emergence from anesthesia.

Contraindications: Do not use seizure pads as a substitute for visual patient observation. Do not use if the pads interfere with the proper locking mechanism of the side rails.

Warnings & Precautions: Ensure all fastening straps are securely tightened and tucked away to prevent patient entanglement. Regularly inspect the vinyl covers for tears or punctures; if the internal foam is exposed, discard and replace the pad immediately to maintain infection control standards. Verify that the pads do not block access to emergency bed controls or the CPR release lever.

The use of seizure pads may increase the risk of patient entrapment between the mattress and the rail; always ensure the mattress is properly sized for the bed frame and that there are no large gaps. Do not use these pads as a physical restraint. Always follow your facility’s specific seizure-safety and entrapment-prevention protocols.
