Orthex Retractable Side-Rails Full Length Retractable Locking Side-Rails (58’’ x 22’’)

Why Choose the Orthex Full-Length Retractable Locking Side Rails

Half-length and partial bed rails leave coverage gaps — sections of the bed edge where users can roll or shift unprotected during rest. For higher-acuity users, cognitively impaired patients, or individuals with significant mobility limitations, this gap represents a real and preventable fall risk. The Orthex Full-Length Retractable Locking Side Rails eliminate that gap entirely with 58" of continuous lateral coverage along the full length of the Orthex Sophia bed, providing protection from head to foot across the entire sleeping surface. The retractable mechanism is the critical differentiator: rather than removing the rail entirely for transfers or care tasks — and risking it not being replaced correctly — caregivers can simply retract the rail to the access position, complete the task, and return it to the locked protective position in a single smooth motion. The locking mechanism holds the rail securely in both the extended and retracted positions, preventing accidental movement during use. Powder-coated steel construction and smooth finish surfaces support daily disinfecting protocols in both home and long-term care environments.

Key Features

• Full-length 58" rail design for continuous lateral fall protection
• Retractable mechanism for smooth caregiver access without full rail removal
• Locking system secures the rail in both extended and retracted positions
• Designed for Orthex homecare beds — Sophia series compatible
• Durable powder-coated steel construction for long-term reliability
• Smooth finish for easy cleaning and infection control
• Frame-mounted installation for stable, secure attachment

Benefits

• Full 58" coverage eliminates the protection gaps of shorter rail designs
• Retractable design allows caregiver access without compromising safety protocols
• Locking mechanism prevents accidental rail movement during patient use
• Reduces nighttime fall and roll-out risk for higher-acuity or mobility-limited users
• Improves user confidence and sense of security during rest
• Powder-coated smooth finish supports daily disinfecting and infection control
• Frame-mounted system provides stable, wobble-free performance in clinical use

Clinical & Typical Applications

✔ Users at elevated risk of nighttime falls or rolling out of bed

✔ Cognitively impaired patients requiring full-length continuous side protection

✔ Higher-acuity home care users where partial rail coverage is insufficient

✔ Long-term care environments using Orthex Sophia adjustable beds

✔ Post-surgical patients requiring secure lateral protection during recovery rest

✔ Home care settings where caregiver access frequency requires a retractable solution
