Description
Joerns F17TMAL is a half-length assist device pair for the UltraCare XT bed, weighing 29.8 lbs (13.52 kg) for the pair.
What does it do and how does it work?
- The pair gives a handhold on each side of the head end for repositioning and transfers.
- Each device moves with the head section as the bed raises.
- A green release lever lowers and raises the device.
- The handholds are soft-touch and non-slip.
- Because the device is half length, the foot end of the bed stays open.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- It suits an UltraCare XT where the person needs a rail at the head end without a full-length side rail.
- Choose a different Joerns rail for another frame; this pair is not an EasyCare accessory.
- A full-length rail is a different part when the whole side has to be covered.
Will it fit?
- It fits the Joerns UltraCare XT (UCXT) bed; dealers also list the same pair for the UltraCare 770, 790 and 795.
- Send the bed model and serial from the frame label, and we check the pair against your bed before you order.
- The pair weighs 29.8 lbs (13.52 kg).
Using it day to day
- Pull the green release lever to lower or raise the device, then make sure it is locked in place.
- The pair travels with the head section, so it stays beside the person as the head raises.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- Use a mattress sized so the gap between the mattress and the device cannot catch a head or neck.
- Raising, lowering or contouring the bed must not open a hazardous gap.
- It is a pair, not a single rail, and it is not a restraint.
How does it compare?
- The F14SCAL is another Joerns half-length assist pair for a different frame.
- The F168AL is the full-length rail with its own mount.
- See the bed rails range for the rest.
