Proactive Medical 58400 Protekt Wedge Rail Guard – 36" Half or 70" Full Length Wedge (12" Height) – Dual-Purpose Gap Filler & Patient Positioning Device with Buckle Attachment, Easy-Clean Vinyl Cover
The Protekt Wedge Rail Guard is an innovative, dual-purpose bed safety accessory that fills dangerous gaps between the mattress and side rails while also serving as a patient positioning aid. The wedge shape effectively closes off Zones 3 and 7 entrapment risks (head, neck, and limb entrapment) and helps maintain proper body alignment to prevent sliding or rolling. Available in half-length (36") and full-length (70") sizes, it attaches securely to most raised or lowered bed rails using durable buckles, providing a padded, angled barrier that enhances patient safety and comfort.
Features:
- Dual-purpose wedge design — fills rail-to-mattress gaps to prevent entrapment and acts as a positioning wedge to keep patients centered and aligned
- Mitigates Zones 3 & 7 entrapment — closes perimeter gaps to reduce risk of head, neck, or limb entrapment
- Secure buckle attachment — quick, reliable installation on most standard bed rails (raised or lowered)
- Easy-to-clean vinyl cover — wipeable, durable, and hygienic for clinical and home environments
- Meets CA #117 fire rating — complies with strict flammability standards for patient safety
- Custom sizes available — contact for special dimensions or configurations
- 1-year warranty — dependable performance and support
- Two practical lengths — 36" half-length for partial coverage or 70" full-length for complete side protection
