Modified grab handle
The client required a bed lever to get in and out of bed. Unfortunately she had a lifting type of bed and the standard bed lever that fits under the mattress is unsuitable, as it will move whenever the bed is raised.
A second bed lever was purchased and, by cutting and brazing, one bed lever was made from the two levers which would pass under the bed. The lever was then secured to the bed with 25mm conduit saddles.
The client can now get in and out of bed more easily and the operation of the bed is not affected.
