France Bed Introduces 'Multi-Fit Handrail EX': A Freestanding Solution for Safety at Entrances without Construction

France Bed Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Shigeru Ikeda) will launch the 'Multi-Fit Handrail EX' on Monday, April 27, 2026. This freestanding handrail can be used at the boundaries of the home, such as entrance porches, eaves, and balconies.

Many people feel daily anxiety about steps at their entrance or the risk of tripping when going outside. It is said that approximately 60% of fall accidents among the elderly occur at home, with entrances and porches being high-risk areas due to many steps and obstacles.

Focusing on these hidden dangers at home entrances, the 'Multi-Fit Handrail EX' joins the 'Multi-Fit Handrail' series. The 'EX' model is specifically designed for 'exterior' spaces within the building site. While the areas between indoors and outdoors have high fall risks, many people hesitate to perform major construction or cannot fix items due to living in rental properties. As a freestanding model that is simply placed on the floor, the 'Multi-Fit Handrail EX' requires no construction and supports walking wherever needed.

This product is recommended for those who have begun to feel uneasy about steps at entrances, those with weakened leg strength or balance issues, those in post-hospitalization rehabilitation, and those who want to reduce fall risks and go outside with confidence without structural changes to their home.

The handrail features materials resistant to temperature changes, ensuring a comfortable grip even in environments close to the outside air. It offers a stable grip design to support safe 'leaving' and 'returning' every day. Depending on the installation space, users can choose between 'Middle size' and 'Slim size' bases. Preparing a handrail early is key to preventing falls, and the 'Multi-Fit Handrail EX' serves as a reliable choice to increase safety around the entrance without changing the living environment.
