Frequently Asked Questions

How high should my legs be elevated for swelling relief?
The general clinical guideline for leg elevation to reduce edema and improve venous return is to raise the legs above the level of the heart — typically 6–12 inches. The 8-inch elevation provided by this wedge falls within this recommended range for most users lying flat. For best results, elevate for 20–30 minutes at a time, several times per day, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Can I use this wedge after knee or hip surgery?
Yes. Leg elevation wedges are commonly used after knee replacement, hip replacement, and other lower extremity surgeries to reduce post-operative swelling and promote circulation. Always follow your surgeon’s specific post-operative instructions regarding leg positioning, elevation height, and duration.

How do I wash the cover?
Remove the cover from the foam wedge and machine wash in warm water with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Do not wash the polyurethane foam insert — spot clean only with a damp cloth if needed. Reattach the cover once fully dry before use.
