To assist with trunk or thigh positioning

The Roll Pillow is a lovely option for supporting an individual. It is made from a soft fibre and covered in a soft yet durable polyester-mix material. These pillows are designed to provide support either on top of the sheet or between the base sheets.

A few examples of postures achieved with the help of the Roll Pillow are:

• Raising the legs and placing the pillow under the legs
• Behind the patient’s back or front of the torso to provide soft support in side lying
• Between the legs in side lying
• Used in conjunction with a supine stabiliser
• Used in conjunction with a side lying leg support
• Under and around lower thighs

The Roll Pillow has a cotton mix terry towelling cover and filled with a specialised fibre that wicks moisture away from the body, therefore it may be placed next to the skin.

Some of the benefits of using the Roll Pillow may be:

• Reduced pain
• Improved comfort
• Improved sleep
• Improved balance
• Improved heat exchange
• Improved pressure care
• Decreased tone

The intended purpose of Simple Stuff Works is therapeutic positioning of the body in the lying posture, and is a gentle therapy used for those with movement difficulties. When used correctly it may help protect and restore an individual’s body shape. The system has no Velcro or screw action fixings, so silent changes of position can be made with little disruption to the person whilst in bed.

The Simple Stuff Works way provides high quality education and therapeutic positioning equipment with an aim to eradicate the preventable problems associated with body shape distortion.

Simple Stuff Works advisors and colleagues are all highly experienced, having written some of the leading research into Postural Care and its effects. Medifab educators have been upskilled by these individuals and are ambassadors to promote protection of body shape.

Therapeutic positioning requires a comprehensive understanding from everyone involved if it is to be implemented successfully. Medifab with Simple Stuff Works is equipped to offer a range of training to support families, healthcare professionals and indeed anyone with an interest in therapeutic positioning. Our courses are accredited and license delegates to join a worldwide community of Postural Care Leaders with access to all our training materials and support.

Simple Stuff Works take pride in the fact that their equipment is silent, hygienic and simple to use. Training programs are available in Australia and New Zealand and will allow you to implement this powerful form of therapy as safely and as humanely as possible.
