The Bed Step - Two Steps is designed to help Patients get into and out of bed. This is very useful when the bed will not go down low enough, possibly due to the design of the bed or an overlay pressure mattress fitted to the bed, making it higher. By using the Steps, a Patient will be able to get in and out of bed more easily, allowing their bottom to go nearer to the middle of the bed. The Steps can also be used for getting on or off ambulance trolleys.
Key Features
- Wipeable medical grade, heat sealed vinyl covers.
- Non-Slip Material on the bottom to help prevent movement.
- Available in two heights:
- One Step - A 10cm / 4" block
- Two Steps (this product) - A two level 10cm / 4" and 20cm / 8" block
Additional Information
The decision to use the One or Two Step will depend on the height of the bed, ensuring the Patient's bottom will be safely near the middle of the bed.
The Bed Steps are placed alongside the bed, allowing the Patient to step onto the first Step while possibly having a hand on the mattress to steady themselves. Ensure their heel is in front of the marked line. The Steps are large enough to accommodate two feet.
The Patient can shuffle forward and mount the second step, then do a quarter turn so their bottom will be positioned to sit on the side of the bed.
Also available: Rehab Step - A large block for walking rehabilitation.
