Halo Mobility Solutions makes the Halo line of bed mobility devices, which the company says it has offered for more than a decade. Each Halo device pairs a circular handle with an adjustable vertical mounting bar and a solid steel locking mechanism that allows 360° rotation, so users can choose a comfortable grip for assisted movement and transfers at the bedside.
At MediDepot you can shop the two Halo devices, the Halo Safety Ring and the Halo Safety Wing. Both come in single-sided and double-sided models, with one bracket system for traditional home-style metal L-frame beds and a second bracket system for hospital beds.
Why Use Halo Mobility Solutions Bed Mobility Devices?
- Two devices, one design: The Ring and the Wing share the same circular handle and rotating mount, so caregivers can choose by the level of entrapment-zone coverage they need.
- Home and hospital fit: Separate bracket systems cover metal L-frame beds from twin to queen and hospital beds up to 42 inches, per Halo Mobility Solutions.
- One side or both: Every model is offered single-sided or double-sided.
- Neutral look: Neutral color and organic shapes are designed to suit a variety of bed systems and rooms.

Who Uses Halo Mobility Solutions Bed Mobility Devices?
Halo devices are used on home beds and hospital beds. Halo Mobility Solutions recommends that individuals, physicians and caregivers consider the Wing for users living in memory care, or for those experiencing a decline in cognitive or physical function, and the Ring where protection against bed entrapment is not necessary.
Benefits of Using Halo Mobility Solutions for Your Facility
Facilities that run both home-style and hospital beds can standardize on one device family, since the Ring and the Wing are each offered with both bracket systems.
Choosing the Perfect Halo Mobility Solutions Device
Start with the bed. Home-style models fit traditional metal L-frame beds that hold a boxspring and mattress, twin to queen. Hospital bed models install on the bed's adjustable frame. Halo devices should never be installed on king-size, adjustable or platform beds, or on beds with wooden frames or wooden slats, per Halo Mobility Solutions. Then choose the device: the Wing adds coverage for entrapment zone 4, and the Ring covers zones 1, 2 and 3. Finally, choose single-sided or double-sided.
