The Gap Guard from NYOrtho helps to fills gaps between the mattress and headboard/ footboard to prevent arm and leg entrapment. This protective guard helps fill the gaps up to three inches wide with its wedge shaped design. If you have gaps to fill larger than three inches, don’t worry! The Gap Guard can be doubled to accommodate whatever space you need filled. When it’s time to clean your Gap Guard, the incontinence-proof nylon cover allows you to simply wipe it clean.
