Poz'In'Form
Heel Wedge

The Heel Wedge assists with shifting the pressure points from the high-risk heel area to low-risk zones (calves and knees).

The heel is completely elevated off the mattress and the weight of the lower leg is distributed evenly across the cushion.

It holds the ankles in proper position and leads to improved blood circulation. The cushion’s size also allows pressure relief on the Achilles’ heel.

The combination of a micropore fabric and a bi-elastic and breathable Pharmatex or Lenzing FR cover offers maximum breathability of the cushion.

The filling made of thin microfiber perfectly fits the body shape ensuring optimal pressure distribution and contributes to a significant reduction in friction and shearing forces.

These highly effective positioning cushions reinforce proper positioning of the long-term bedridden client by improving abnormal posture, providing even weight distribution and by preventing pressure sores, while implementing security of use and limiting microbial infections.

Description

Pharmatex or Lenzing Cover Options

Poz’in’Form elements and modules are completely removable and washable. There are two cover options available, Pharmatex or Lenzing FR.

The Pharmatex bi-elastic cover is made of polyurethane and is recommended for use in hospitals. Pharmatex is soft to the touch and very comfortable next to the skin, while still easy to clean.

The Lenzing FR cover is made of viscose, coated with a waterproof polyurethane film. Lenzing FR® is a major innovation in positioning of the long-term bedridden, preventing maceration. Hygroscopic properties of viscose allow moisture absorption. Also, the elasticity and flexibility of Lenzing FR are particularly suitable for problems regularly observed in classical positioning.
