TRIPPING HAZARD The Cure for Wayward Bed Cords
Glenn Bacon, DO, FAAP, would trip on the bed cords most every time he wheeled a patient from the OR to the recovery room. "I'd stuff them under the mattress or wrap them around a handle, but invariably they'd fall out while I was walking down the hallway," says the anesthesiologist from Wentworth Douglass Hospital in Dover, N.H. Dr. Bacon invented a simple bracket that he hopes will solve the tripping problem. It's called the Utility Guardian ($20, bavecllc.com). The easy-to-use bracket hangs on hospital bed headboards to keep those heavy electrical cords and plugs neatly stowed, easily accessible and out from underfoot.
