Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Soft Lateral Cushion can be used in a variety of ways. With the patient lying on their side, one end can be placed under their head as a pillow. Note that some filling can be removed to reduce pressure under the ear. The length of the cushion is then placed behind the patient’s back and taken down between the legs. When used in this way, it can help prevent the patient from rolling onto their back or rolling forward out of bed.
It is possible to add or remove some of the soft hollow-core polyester fibre filling for individual pressure care needs. This filling is cool and soft next to the body and may help patients stay
thermoneutral.
