Our Bed lever is designed to help keep you safe, and our easy to follow installation guide ensures positioning is correct. A bed rail can be a really handy piece of kit, particularly if you need extra help when getting in and out of bed or standing up due to weaker limbs or difficulties with balance. The Bed lever will not carry the full weight of the user, it is only used for balance and support whilst moving from sitting, lying or standing. We are delighted to tell you that the NRS Healthcare 2-In-1 Bed Rail has been tried and tested by our team of Occupational Therapists who are proud to give it the OT Recommended seal of approval. Rails set at an angle can help a person who needs a steadying support - e.g. to stand from a bath board to shower. The rail can be placed at an angle of 45 degrees up and away from the user. This keeps the wrist in a neutral position. It is not necessary to lean far forward to grasp the rail at the lower end and the hand can travel up the rail to maintain the support once the person is standing.
