What is this product?
Hospital beds and bed rails used in home care and facilities involve prolonged contact with PVC and FR-treated materials. Mattress covers: medical-grade PVC (wipeable, fluid-resistant) — plasticized with DEHP or DINP, off-gasses at body temperature during 8-20 hours/day of contact. FR foam in mattress: may contain TDCPP, TCPP, or other organohalogen FRs — required by 16 CFR 1633 federal mattress flammability standard, but FR-free options exist (barrier fabric technology). Bed rails: padded with polyurethane foam (FR chemicals) covered in vinyl (phthalates). Bed-bound individuals have the longest continuous contact duration of any product category in the database.
