Support Mattresses

Pressure ulcers, or bed sores, are a common problem and concern for patients who spend long periods of time in bed.

A variety of mattresses and mattress overlays are available to both treat and prevent bed sores. Ask your doctor or home care equipment provider for more information. These important products are normally covered by Medicare and most private insurance.

Over-Bed Tables, Side Rails and Trapeze Bars

The proper equipment can give both patients and care givers increased independence.

Over-bed tables are used not only for eating and working, but also to keep other items such as eye glasses or drinking water easily accessible.

Side rails give care givers more independence by ensuring that patients can be left safely in bed without fear of falls.

Trapeze bars give some patients increased independence by using them to adjust their position in bed, to sit up and get in / out of bed with less or no assistance.
