A Wedge Lateral Positioner is a medical device meant to help keep a patient in a lateral (side-lying) position during medical procedures or recovery. It provides support and stability to guarantee proper patient alignment so as not to cause pressure sores. This device can often be further equipped with Lateral position gel pads for extra comfort and reduction of peak pressures.
The advantages of using the Lateral position gel pads include optimum pressure relief, comfort, and reduced risk of skin breakdown. Used with the Wedge Lateral Positioner, these gel pads help to distribute a patient's weight in such a way that it will reduce pressure points and increase support.
The Wedge Lateral Positioner needs to be cleaned with mild soap and water and not with harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, allowing for longevity of use—air dry items after cleaning and inspection for wear and tear.
Wedge lateral positioners and gel pads of a lateral position are designed to adapt to a wide scale in the sizes and weights of the patients. The equipment is made from solid materials that provide enough support and stability for people of any body type for proper and effective positioning of patients.
The Wedge Lateral Positioner and Lateral position gel pads are helpful for medical conditions in which the patient would have to lay on their side for a longer duration—for example, after surgery, bedridden patients, or pressure ulcers. These gadgets, throughout long hours of immobility, help to avoid pressure sores and improve the comfort of the patient.
