Magnetic Pillow Speakers

How often has this happened at your hospital: a pillow speaker is handed to the patient, but during the 99% of the time that they are not using it, it ends up on the floor, behind the bed, or worst of all – tied around the bed rail. As soon as the bed is moved or a member of the care team needs to access the patient, that cable is run over, bent, and more often than not ripped out of the wall. Every time that happens, the wires get a little bit more frayed, the pins get a little more bent, and the patient station on the wall becomes just a bit more loose. Pretty soon you end up with the scenario above. At best, a broken pillow speaker is something that gets written off. At worst, it’s an emergency call from patient that doesn’t reach the nurses.
