Posey Lateral Positioning Wedges

The Posey Lateral Positioning Wedges provide both positioning support and comfort. These lightweight bead-filled 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.

The Posey Lateral Positioning 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 with 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. Choose from the Large size or X-Large size positioning wedge.

Non returnable if the packaging is opened.
