MIP Side Wedges with Connecting Sheet

Overview
MIP’s high-density foam filled side wedges with a breathable connecting sheet are designed to enhance patient safety by reducing the risk of falls from bed. They provide a reliable and discreet solution for patients who may be prone to rolling or sliding out of bed during rest, recovery, or long-term care.

Design & Construction
The system consists of two firm yet comfortable side wedges, manufactured with high-density foam to provide stability without compromising user comfort. The wedges are joined by a breathable connecting sheet that sits beneath the patient, ensuring they remain securely positioned while still allowing airflow for comfort and hygiene.

Secure Fixing System
Each wedge is attached to the connecting sheet using a wide hook-and-loop fastening strip. This ensures quick and easy assembly, while also allowing the wedges to be repositioned or removed when necessary. The entire unit is secured to the bed base or mattress using durable straps and quick-release clips, keeping the system firmly in place during use.

Safety & Compliance
The side wedges are flame retardant to British Standard BS 7177, offering an additional layer of protection in line with healthcare safety requirements. This makes them suitable for use in hospitals, care homes, and homecare environments where strict fire safety standards must be upheld.

Applications in Care
These wedges are particularly beneficial for patients with reduced mobility, cognitive impairment, or conditions that increase the risk of falling out of bed. They provide caregivers with peace of mind by creating a safer resting environment while still promoting patient comfort. Unlike rigid side rails, the foam construction reduces the risk of injury if the patient comes into contact with the wedges.
