A solution to the problem of patients who slip down their beds lus been found in the form of a bed-foot support. The adjustable support can be attached to the end of the bed, enabling patients to rest their feet against it as well as using it as a means of exercising their legs. The support w ill reduce the time spent by nurses on lifting patients and save possible back injuries, the manufacturers claim. It will also lx- ideal for post-operative and geriatric patients, they say, and w ill reduce the risk of pressure sores by keeping bedclothes off the feet.
