Medacure Universal Q-Bar – Hospital Bed Assist Bar for Safe Transfers on Almost Any Bed
The Medacure UQB950 is a universal bed assist bar that mounts to most hospital bed frames with the adapters in the box. Its quad shaped Q-bar gives a solid handhold for sitting up, turning and getting out of bed, without the entrapment risk of full rails. Setting up a bed at home? Read our hospital bed buying guide and the hospital bed knowledge base.
As a hospital bed assist bar, it fits Invacare, Drive, Hill-Rom, Joerns, Medline, Graham Field and MC Healthcare frames, round, square, rectangular or angle iron.
It is also a smart bed assist bar for elderly users who want independence: it rotates 90 degrees either way, holds the bed’s hand pendant and comes as a set of 2. Not sure it fits your bed? Call us at 585-505-6665.
✅ Key Features
- ✔️ Fits Most Hospital Bed Frames
- ✔️ Adapters for Round, Square and Angle Frames
- ✔️ Quad Shaped Q-Bar, No Entrapment Risk
- ✔️ Rotates 90° Either Direction
- ✔️ Steel, Hangs the Bed Hand Pendant
- ✔️ Set of 2, All Hardware Included
Why Choose an Assist Bar Instead of Full Rails?
Full length side rails can create gaps where a patient’s head, neck or limbs can be trapped, which is why many families and care facilities are moving away from them. A Q-bar gives the patient what they actually need most of the time: a firm handhold for sitting up, turning and standing, positioned where they reach for it naturally. The open quad shape keeps grab points close without the long enclosed spaces of a full rail.
Who Is It Best For?
- Patients who can get in and out of bed but need a steady handhold
- People who reposition themselves in bed and want something to pull on
- Families replacing older full or half side rails
- Care facilities with mixed bed brands that want one universal bar
- Caregivers who want the bed pendant hung within easy reach
Who May Need Something Else?
- Patients who cannot bear weight or transfer: a patient lift is safer. See our patient lift buying guide.
- Patients at risk of rolling out: consider a low bed and a defined perimeter mattress instead of rails.
- Medacure LTC beds only: the QB900 Q-bar mounts directly to Medacure long term care frames.
Fits Most Hospital Bed Frames
Universal mounting is what sets the UQB950 apart. The kit includes 3 bracket sizes (2 of each), a spacer, M6 bolts, a mounting clamp, a clamp fitting, a star knob and a hex key, so it adapts to round tube, rectangular tube, square and angle iron bed frames. Medacure lists it for Invacare, Drive, Hill-Rom, Joerns, Medline, Graham Field, MC Healthcare and more.
Rotates 90 Degrees Either Way
The bar rotates 90 degrees in either direction. Facing in, it supports sitting up and repositioning. Rotated out, it gives a forward handhold for standing up and leaving the bed. Caregivers can set the position that suits the patient’s routine.
Built for Safety
The quad shaped steel bar is designed as a bed assist bar without the risk of entrapment, and Medacure designs and produces its bed rails in accordance with the FDA’s bed safety guidelines. The steel construction stays solid when a patient pulls or pushes against it.
Installing the UQB950
- Identify your frame shape: round, rectangular, square or angle iron.
- Fit the matching bracket and spacer to the frame near the head of the bed.
- Attach the mounting clamp and slide in the bar.
- Tighten the star knob and bolts with the hex key.
- Test by pulling and pushing firmly before the patient uses it.
Safe Use Tips
- Check the clamp and knob are tight before each use
- Make sure the mattress fits snugly against the bar side with no gaps
- Keep the bar near the head of the bed where the patient sits up
- Do not use the bar as a restraint or to lift a patient

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hospital bed assist bar?
It is a short, fixed or rotating handle that mounts to the bed frame near the head of the bed. It gives the patient something solid to hold while sitting up, repositioning or getting in and out of bed, without the full length side rail that can trap a patient.
Will the UQB950 fit my bed?
Medacure says it attaches to most bed frames, including Invacare, Drive, Hill-Rom, Joerns, Medline, Graham Field and MC Healthcare beds. Included adapters fit round, square, rectangular and angle iron frames. Send us your bed model if you are unsure and we will check.
Why is it called a Q-bar?
The bar is quad shaped: a square frame with inner bars, so there are grab points at several heights and angles. Medacure describes it as a bed assist bar without the risk of entrapment.
Does the bar move?
Yes. It rotates 90 degrees in either direction to suit the user’s position and make bed exit easier, then secures in place.
Is it a bed rail for preventing falls?
No. It is a transfer and repositioning aid, not a restraint or a full barrier. For patients who may roll out of bed, talk to the care team about a low bed, floor mats or a defined perimeter mattress.
How many come in a box?
Medacure’s price list sells the UQB950 as a set of 2, one for each side of the bed.
Is installation hard?
No special tools are needed beyond the included hex key. Choose the adapter bracket for your frame shape, fit the mounting clamp and tighten the star knob. Check the fit before every use.
Does it hold the bed’s hand pendant?
Yes. The hand pendant can hang on the inner bars at different heights, so the bed control stays within reach.

Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Return Policy
At MedCare Mobility, we understand that purchasing medical and mobility equipment is an important decision. Our goal is to make the ordering, delivery, and return process as clear and straightforward as possible.
Because many of the products we offer are large, specialized, or shipped directly from manufacturer and distributor warehouses, shipping and return requirements may vary somewhat by product and brand. The policy below explains what you can generally expect when ordering from MedCare Mobility.
Shipping & Order Processing
We ship medical and mobility equipment to customers throughout the United States. Orders are processed as quickly as possible, and tracking information is provided once available.
Processing Time
Most in-stock orders are processed within approximately 1–3 business days. Processing may include order verification, warehouse preparation, packaging, and coordination with the manufacturer or distributor.
Some specialty equipment, made-to-order products, oversized items, or products shipping directly from a manufacturer may require additional processing time. Any estimated processing or lead time shown on an individual product page should be considered part of the expected fulfillment timeframe for that item.
Transit & Delivery Time
Once shipped, many standard orders arrive within approximately 3–7 business days. Larger medical equipment, freight shipments, specialty products, and certain manufacturer-direct orders may require additional transit time.
Tracking information will generally be emailed once the shipment has been processed by the carrier. If you have questions regarding the status of your order, please contact us at info@medcaremobility.com.
Alaska, Hawaii & Special Shipping Areas
Orders shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, and certain remote or limited-access areas may be subject to additional shipping charges. If an additional charge is required after your order is reviewed, we will contact you before proceeding whenever additional payment is necessary.
Freight & Oversized Equipment
Hospital beds, patient lifts, large recliners, ramps, and other oversized medical equipment may ship by freight rather than standard parcel service. Unless a specific delivery service is stated on the product page or order, freight delivery does not automatically include inside delivery, assembly, installation, or removal of packaging.
30-Day Return Policy
We want you to feel comfortable ordering from MedCare Mobility. Most eligible products may be returned when a return is requested within 30 days of delivery, subject to the conditions and exclusions outlined below.
Eligible products generally include:
- Electric and power wheelchairs
- Manual and lightweight wheelchairs
- Mobility scooters
- Walkers and rollators
- Patient lifts
- Wheelchair ramps
- Hospital and homecare beds
- Eligible medical mattresses
- Geriatric and medical recliner chairs
- Overbed tables
- Bathroom benches and shower chairs
- Other eligible medical and mobility equipment
Return eligibility can vary by manufacturer and product type. Products specifically identified as non-returnable, custom, made-to-order, or otherwise subject to special return terms are governed by those terms.
Return Authorization
Please contact us before shipping any product back. Returns must first be approved and issued a Return Authorization (RA) and the appropriate return shipping address.
You may request a return by emailing info@medcaremobility.com or contacting our customer service team through the live chat on our website.
Please do not return merchandise to an address shown on the original shipping label unless specifically instructed to do so. Many products ship directly from manufacturer or distributor warehouses, and the correct return location may be different from the original shipping location.
Condition of Returned Merchandise
To qualify for a return and refund, the product must be returned:
- In brand-new and unused condition
- In its complete original manufacturer packaging
- With all manuals, components, hardware, accessories, and included materials
- Without damage, modification, assembly wear, stains, odors, or other signs of use
- In resalable condition upon inspection by the receiving warehouse or manufacturer
We strongly recommend keeping the original box, pallet, protective materials, and packaging until you are certain that you intend to keep the equipment. Large medical equipment can be difficult or impossible to return safely without its original packaging.
Restocking Fees
Approved returns are subject to a mandatory restocking fee, generally ranging from 15% to 20% of the applicable product price. The exact restocking percentage varies depending on the manufacturer, brand, and type of equipment being returned.
These restocking charges are assessed to us by the manufacturer or distributing warehouse when merchandise is returned. MedCare Mobility does not add the fee simply as a return penalty; when the manufacturer requires the charge, we must pass the applicable amount through as part of processing the return.
If you would like to know the applicable restocking percentage for a particular product before ordering, please contact us and we will be happy to help whenever that information is available from the manufacturer.
Return Shipping & Shipping Charges
The customer is responsible for shipping charges associated with the order when making a standard return.
Customers are responsible for arranging for the approved merchandise to be returned to the return address provided with the Return Authorization. In certain cases, we may be able to provide a prepaid return label or coordinate return transportation for your convenience. When provided, the applicable shipping cost may be deducted from the final refund.
Because some medical equipment is oversized or requires freight transportation, prepaid labels or carrier call tags may not be available for every product. Our customer service team will provide the available return instructions when your return is authorized.
Non-Returnable Products
For health, hygiene, safety, customization, and manufacturer-policy reasons, certain products are not eligible for standard returns.
We currently do not accept returns on:
- Parts & accessories
- Wheelchair cushions and support accessories
- Patient lift slings
- Custom or made-to-order products
- Products specifically identified as non-returnable on the product page
If a non-returnable product arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, please contact us promptly. Non-returnable status does not prevent us from assisting with a legitimate shipping damage, defect, warranty, or fulfillment issue in accordance with the applicable manufacturer and carrier procedures.
Damaged or Incorrect Orders
We take shipping damage seriously and will work with you to help resolve legitimate delivery issues.
If your product arrives damaged, please notify MedCare Mobility within 48 hours of delivery. Whenever possible, retain the shipping carton, pallet, packaging materials, and the product exactly as received and take clear photographs of the packaging and any visible damage.
Reporting damage promptly is important because carriers and manufacturers have limited timeframes for filing freight and shipping claims.
If you receive an incorrect product or believe there is a manufacturer defect, please contact us before returning or disposing of any merchandise or packaging so that we can provide the appropriate instructions.
Refused Deliveries
Please contact us before refusing a delivery unless the shipment has obvious significant freight damage and the carrier is documenting the damage at delivery.
A shipment that is refused for reasons unrelated to verified shipping damage may be treated as a standard return. Applicable restocking and shipping charges may therefore be deducted from the refund.
Return Shipping Deadline
Once a return has been approved and return instructions or a return label have been issued, the merchandise must be shipped within 72 hours unless MedCare Mobility provides different instructions in writing.
This is particularly important when a return is approaching the end of the applicable return period. Returns shipped outside the authorized timeframe may be refused by the manufacturer or warehouse and may no longer qualify for a refund.
Refund Processing
Refunds are processed after the returned merchandise has been received and inspected by the applicable warehouse or manufacturer and the return has been confirmed to meet the return requirements.
The applicable restocking fee, shipping charges associated with the order, and any other authorized return-related charges will be deducted from the amount eligible for refund.
If returned merchandise is used, damaged, incomplete, missing original packaging or components, or otherwise returned in a condition that prevents the manufacturer or warehouse from accepting it as new and resalable merchandise, the return may be refused or the refund may be reduced in accordance with the manufacturer’s assessment.
Custom & Made-to-Order Products
Products identified as custom, configured, made-to-order, special-order, or manufactured specifically for the customer cannot generally be canceled once production or manufacturer processing has begun and are not eligible for standard returns.
For custom products, cancellation may only be possible during the initial processing period and before production or customization begins. Because production schedules vary by manufacturer, we encourage customers to contact us immediately if a change is required.
If a custom product arrives damaged or has a legitimate manufacturing defect, we will work with the manufacturer to pursue the appropriate resolution, replacement components, repair, or other available remedy under the applicable manufacturer policy or warranty.
Questions Before Ordering?
Medical equipment can vary considerably in size, configuration, compatibility, and intended use. If you are unsure whether a product will work for your needs, we strongly encourage you to contact us before placing your order.
Our team is happy to help review product specifications, dimensions, options, compatibility, and available manufacturer information so you can make a more informed purchasing decision and reduce the possibility of needing a return.
For shipping, return, or product questions, contact us at info@medcaremobility.com or speak with us through the live chat on our website.
