Bed Wedge Pillow for Pressure Ulcer Prevention by NYOrtho

The NYOrtho Bed Wedge Pillow is an essential tool in pressure ulcer prevention for patients confined to bed, offering both comfort and functionality. Constructed with high-density foam, it provides maximum comfort while its breathable, low-shear, stretch cover with antimicrobial protection reduces friction and enhances skin integrity. This ensures that the patient's skin remains healthy and intact, which is crucial in preventing pressure ulcers. Available in a variety of sizes and angles, the pillow allows for customized support to relieve pressure on the hipbone and coccyx, key areas often affected by prolonged bed rest.

The different models cater to a range of needs. The 5 in. high by 11 in. wide by 16 in. long wedge with a 25-degree incline comes as a pair and is perfect for moderate elevation. For greater elevation, there is the 7 in. high by 12 in. wide wedge available in lengths of 16 in., 24 in., and 34 in., each offering a 30-degree incline and also sold in pairs. The 8 in. high by 8 in. wide by 17 in. long model provides a steeper 45-degree incline, while the 2 in. high by 8 in. wide and 10 in. long wedge, sold individually, offers a 40-degree incline. This variety ensures that patients receive the precise support they need, whether for minor adjustments or significant repositioning.

Recommended for patients requiring additional positioning and support, these bed wedges are designed to reposition bed-ridden individuals effectively. By alleviating pressure on bony prominences, they substantially decrease the incidence of pressure ulcers, a prevalent and serious concern for immobile patients.

The slip-resistant bottom ensures that the pillow stays in place, providing consistent support to the patient throughout its use. This is especially important in maintaining the correct positioning without constant adjustments. Additionally, the product meets the CA 117-2013 standard (California Technical Bulletin 117-2013, a fire safety standard for upholstered furniture), guaranteeing its quality and safety for medical use. This certification reassures both healthcare providers and caregivers that they are using a reliable and safe product.

Whether used at home or in a healthcare setting, the NYOrtho Bed Wedge Pillow is a reliable solution for pressure ulcer prevention and patient comfort. Its design not only focuses on comfort but also addresses the critical need for skin integrity and effective pressure management, making it an indispensable tool in patient care.
