The Postura Askle Foot Positioning Microbead Cushion is designed to help prevent pressure ulcers in the heel area.
Positioning cushions allow the repositioning of patients quickly and easily in different postures in order to relieve pressure applied on areas at risk of pressure ulcers. This in turn means the patient is much more comfortable and has an improved quality of life.
Pressure ulcers in heel areas are common, especially bedridden patients. Experts recommend the use of foot positioning cushions to prevent ulcers developing.
