The Postura Askle Lateral 30° Positioning Microbead Cushion is designed to help prevent pressure ulcers in trochanter and comes in two sizes.
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 the trochanter area are infrequent but dangerous. They occur mainly in patients strictly confined to bed in the supine position. Experts recommend the lateral positioning cushion at 30° to relieve pressure ulcers in trochanter and sacrum areas.
