Use and combinations:
- The cylindrical cushion placed under the knees:
- Reduces pains in the lumbar region.
- Relieves facet pain.
- Cylindrical cushion associated to kees abduction support (Reference 364-VCP01CIC: Positioning cushion with microbeads for knees abduction) :
- High risk of pressure ulcers in patients with muscular-tendon retractions in lower limbs. Experts recommend abduction of the lower limbs to reduce pressure on the ankles, condyles and knees. Reduce the pressure on the sacrum, ischium and heels.
- Maintains abduction in lower limbs.
- Reduces pressure around the femoral condyles (knees) and inner ankles.
- Protects knee joints.
- Cylindrical cushion helps obtain the “Semi Fowler” position to reduce pressure on the sacrum, ischiatic and heel areas. Our solution is the combination of 4 specific cushions.
- Reference 364-VCP09CIC: Positioning cushion with microbeads, crescent shaped.
- Reference 364-VCP02CIC: Positioning cushion with microbeads, universal. Small T1.
- Reference 364-VCP03CIC: Positioning cushion with microbeads, universal. Large T2.
- Reference 364-VCP04CIC: Positioning cushion with microbeads, cylindrical.
- This solution::
- Reduces the risk of sliding forward that would put shear forces on the tissues.
- Reduces risk of falling.
- Can be used in place of non medical beds.
- Reduces the pressure on the elbows.
Usage tips:
- Bedsores prevention consists in changing the support points of body on the cushion every three hours on average to avoid long-lasting compression of vessels and to allow blood flow. Do not tight the sheets too much in order to not decrease the cushion effectiveness.
- Do not place abrasive, stripper or dissolving products and sharp objects in direct contact with the protection cover.
- Check the cushions once or several times a year. In case of problems, dispose the product.
