Can I Clean the Bed Positioning Wedge?
The exterior of the wedge is made from a non-permeable material that can be unzipped and wiped clean whenever necessary. This means it will be easy to keep the wedge fresh, clean and hygienic even if it becomes dirtied by food or if the patient suffers from incontinence, while also helping to protect the foam interior for improved longevity.
How Safe Is the Bed Positioning Wedge?
The Bed Positioning Wedge was developed with the help of pressure-care experts to create a highly safe and supportive positioning aid. It offers three different angles for bolstering the patient in a way that is both comfortable and good for their posture, and has non-slip properties so the patient can lean against is safely.
Can the Bed Wedge Prevent Pressure Sores?
While the Deluxe Bed Wedge isn't designed specifically to help to combat or reduce pressure sores, it allows the patient to be positioned in a way that can help to reduce pressure on specific areas of the body. This in turn can help to reduce the risk of pressure sores from developing. Please see our Pressure Relief category for products designed specifically for pressure sores.
