PREVENTING FALLS IN THE PATIENT ROOM
Since patients are unattended much of the time while in their room, there’s a much higher chance of fall than in other parts of your facility. Curbell’s simple fall management solutions help minimize falls when they make unattended exists from the bed and chair in their room.

BC600 CORDLESS BED AND CHAIR MONITOR
The BC600 monitor facilitates timely mobility assistance to help keep your patients safe from falls by alerting staff that a patient has moved off of a sensor pad, which can indicate their intention to exit a bed or chair.
CORDLESS BED AND CHAIR SENSOR PADS
Cordless pads eliminate cord tripping hazards and cord damage — the primary cause of false and failed alarms, and replacement/repair costs.
PERFORMANCE MAT
Unlike mats made of foams and vinyl, Performance Mats are resistant to most everything and do not lose their “bounce” over time, thus always suspending the body weight to minimize injury during falls.
JUMPER CABLES
Connect the monitor to the nurse call system with a jumper cable and the alarm will sound at the nurse’s station
SAFE MOBILITY LIGHT
Insufficient lighting in a senior’s room can lead to falls at the bedside at night. Curbell Medical’s Safe Mobility Light is an innovative solution that automatically activates lights when a senior leaves the bed.
