Etac LeanOnMe Wing Positioning Pillow with Hygienic Cover (80cm x 45cm)

For some seriously immobile patients, even slight movements can cause serious pain or further body damage. The Etac LeanOnMe Wing Positioning Pillow with Hygienic Cover (80cm x 45cm) has a wing attachment that uses the weight of a patient, either on their side or their front, to stop the cushion from moving, acting as a patient positioning barrier. The included hygienic cover is easy to clean and waterproof, making it ideal for patients who bathe and eat in bed, or those with bladder issues.

Helps Prevent Pressure Injuries 

It's important to keep moving patients with no or severely limited mobility in order to reduce the chances of pressure injuries like sores and ulcers. Using a LeanOnMe Pillow helps reposition a patient away from a pressure-forming area, as painlessly as possible.

Moulding and Supportive Filling

Etac LeanOnMe Cushions are filled with a granulated foam that's specially designed to allow limbs to comfortably sink and then be held in the desired position. It also has elastic properties that allow the pillow to repeatedly bear weight, absorb and redistribute pressure.

Held in Place By the Weight of a Patient

This pillow features a thin 'wing' of fabric that's attached to the pillow. The patient lies on the wing and their weight keeps the Etac Positioning Pillow comfortable in place to support their back. 

Protect Patients From Bedrail Pressure

For sensitive patients, repeated contact with their bedrails can cause pressure and friction injures. This LeonOnMe Wing Pillow acts as a fantastic barrier and prevents a patient from accidentally rolling into a bedrail.

Facilitate Easier Breathing

For bedridden patients with respiratory issues, it can be difficult to hold themselves in positions that encourage easier breathing. Etac LeanOnMe Positioning Cushions can be used to secure patients comfortably in supine poses that maintain healthy airflow. 

Includes a Waterproof Pillow Cover

Included with this model of the LeanOnMe Wing is a protective and breathable cover with a polyester outside and a polyurethane membrane. It's waterproof and easy to wipe clean with a disinfectant solution, making it really ideal for patients with incontinence issues. The inside of the cover also features quilted fabric for comfort.

Prefer a Softer Pillow Cover?

While the pillow cover that is supplied with this cushion priorities hygiene and easy cleaning, the same model cushion is also available with a soft touch cover.

Can Also Help Relax Patients and Reduce Anxiety

Enclosing a patient in positioning cushions can gently stimulate their sense of touch to help with agitation and reduce anxiety and anger.
