Mattresses
Pressure
ulcers, or bedsores, 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. Medicare and most private insurance normally cover these
important products.

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.
