Seating & Positioning 
The Right Seating is Important!
Patient falls concern us all. In the past, patients at risk of falling if they left their chairs or beds were either physically restrained or sedated. Over a quarter century ago, Bed-Check® Corporation pioneered a revolutionary system that often could safely replace physical or medical restraints.
Today the Bed-CheckŪ System serves as an integral part of fall and restraint reduction programs in hospitals, long term care facilities and home health care situations all over the nation. Its exclusive purpose is to monitor those patients assessed to be at risk for falls and to alert their caregivers when immediate intervention is required. Use of physical restraints can often be greatly reduced while patient dignity is enhanced.
In a recent case study:
- Restraint usage reduced 37%
- Unassisted (no caregiver present) falls reduced 38%
