Cot side bed stick

To facilitate personal care, the client needs to maintain a sitting position. As her bed has cot sides, standard bed sticks were not suitable.

A tubular bed stick was constructed which attaches to the metal bed frame by means of a bolted “U” bracket and welded stub pipe. The bracket can be positioned anywhere along the bed and the stick height can be adjusted by pin/clip fixings.

Using this aid, the client can sit comfortably in her bed whilst being attended to
