Body Positioning Wedges

Body Positioning Wedges

Body positioning wedges come in several shapes, sizes and fabrics to suit a variety of needs and environments. Wedge pillows are a helpful tool in caring for those with restricted mobility and often used for people who are confined to a bed or chair.

Some support options positioning wedges can offer are – limb elevation using a wedge pillow to reduce swelling and improve circulation, proper alignment of limbs to relieve pain and discomfort during postoperative recovery and most commonly for the elderly being nursed in bed for long periods of time offering support and comfort, reducing the risk of bed sores and pressure areas.
