Trapeze Bars

A trapeze bar (sometimes referred to as a monkey bar) is an accessory that attaches to a hospital bed. It cannot be used on a standard residential bed frame because of its unique design. It gives the patient something to pull up on when getting out of the bed.

There are special trapeze bars that are self-supporting and do not have to be attached to a bed. These can be used in situations where the patient does not require a hospital bed but needs a little extra assistance in getting up.
