Lightweight Posey Lateral Positioning Wedges provide both positioning support and comfort. Posey Lateral Positioning Wedges are easier to shape and position than regular foam pillows. These positioning wedges are recommended for patients requiring additional positioning support in a bed or chair.

Bead filled wedges help caregivers keep bed-ridden patients positioned comfortably by eliminating pressure points over the bony prominences and reducing the incidence of pressure ulcers. Their unique construction of an outer vinyl mesh, breathable fabric shell and a non-absorbent, polystyrene bead fill allows air to flow through the wedge, eliminating the discomfort of heat built which occurs with conventional foam pillows.

Posey Lateral Wedges assist caregivers in complying with National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality guidelines for using a 30-degree lateral inclined position when turning patients to avoid pressure on the hip.

Non returnable if packaging is opened.

Mrs.

I am delighted with the Posey positioning wedges. In fact, I'm going to purchase two more. My husband is almost 6 ft tall, and has Parkinson's. I have used those heavy positioner pillows used in the hospitals and found them to be awkward, bulky and difficult to keep their shape. The Posey wedges are wonderfully light, airy, cool and are outstanding for his needs. Remarkable product!!! By the way, I decided to try them because I have so many Posey gait belts, and I have faith in their products.

Q: What size is appropriate for a 5'2" to 5'4" individual who ways 120 pounds?

Asked by: James - 9/28/2017

A: Depends on where you intend to use the wedge. I am 5'2" and the medium wedge would be the appropriate size for behind the back but the small wedge would be better behind the legs.
