Dementia Bedding
–Cocoon Bed for Dementia Sufferers from Health and Care

Currently
one person in every 88 in the UK has Dementia. This is mainly
because of the UK\'s ageing population. However, conditions such
as high cholesterol and blood pressure, and lack of exercise are
also thought to increase the risk. The demand for Alzheimer bedding
and Alzheimer beds is now high due to the increase in sufferers
across the UK.
Specialist
dementia beds and dementia bedding are now available to help prevent
sleep suffocation and sleep injuries to dementia sufferers. Lashing
out or punching whilst asleep is a symptom of dementia and sufferers
require a special bed that helps to limit serious injury. The
Orthodocs Cocoon from Health and Care is a totally enclosed mattress
and bumper system. It has been design and produced in direct response
to the needs of hospitals, nursing homes and home carers who have
experienced problems associated with bed entrapment and injury.
Dementia is
on the increase and unfortunately so are the incidents involving
patients suffering flailing limb injuries whilst sleeping. Sufferers
of dementia who have hit out whilst asleep have hit bed rails
and this has resulted in serious injury and death. From the care
giving institutions point of view accidents of this nature have
led to substantial negligence claims, taking scarce resource away
from the frontline delivery of care. The Orthodocs Cocoon has
been designed to be a single and affordable solution to reduce
risk of entrapment, injuries and death.
The design
of the Orthodocs Cocoon has been based on research of cases of
bed entrapment. This work has been vindicated by a document published
by the Medical Devices Agency, Report EL8, 'Bed safety Equipment,
an Evaluation that highlights the potential dangers associated
with the use of bed rails and draws attention to the need for
full risk assessment programme. Nursing staff who are familiar
with the Orthodocs Cocoon have found that dementia patients who
were given the Orthodocs Cocoon were found to have improved sleep
patterns.
The Orthodocs
Cocoon is a Class 1 Medical Device which is designed to help prevent
bed rail entrapment and is available from Health and Care.co.uk.
with the option of VAT relief. Health and Care also stock a range
of Dementia care products including Bed and Chair Occupancy alarms,
Water Overflow alarms and Anti-Wander alarms.
