Leg/Knee Abductor (Knee to Groin)
Item # 234
This small hard foam wedge can help when a patient is contracted with their legs bent. It is small enough to fit between the upper legs between the groin and the knees. Two straps are sewn onto both sides of the Abductor to keep it in position and prevent it from slipping. After fitting, the long straps can be cut shorter where the cross stitching is.
We use a water resistant nylon cover, as it is less likely to cause sweating than a vinyl cover. Before fitting the nylon cover, we place the foam in a polythene bag to give it added protection. The cover has soft cotton webbing with Velcro type fasteners to secure the legs to the Abductor. It may be advisable with some patients who have very delicate skin, to put some combine padding around the legs to protect them. Monitor the patient’s skin for pressure sores, particularly around the inside of the knees.
When using this product, remember that some patients may get cramps if they sit for long periods and cannot move their legs. Refer to their care plan regarding ambulation. It may also be advisable to use a Pelican Chair Belt to remind the patient not to stand up when the abductor is in use.
This product is smaller than our Leg Abductor - Small, which is made to be placed between the knees and ankles to help with contracted legs, post-hip replacement either sitting in chairs or in bed.
Cleaning: The cover can be spray wiped or hand or machine wash up to 80°C. Do not tumble dry.
