Why is a 30-degree angle used for lateral positioning?
A 30-degree lateral tilt distributes body weight away from bony areas without placing the user in a full lateral position, which can be uncomfortable and difficult to maintain. The 30-degree angle is a commonly used standard for lateral positioning in bed rest settings.
Is the cover removable and washable?
The cover is a 4-way stretch antimicrobial cover. Refer to the product care label for specific washing instructions.
How are the wedges used as a pair?
The two wedges are typically used together to support a 30-degree lateral tilt — one wedge positioned behind the back and one under the hip or leg. Using a pair allows alternating between left and right lateral positions throughout the day.
Can these wedges be used for other positioning needs?
Yes. Positioning wedges can also be used for limb elevation and general comfort positioning in bed. The 30-degree angle and firm high-density foam make them suitable for a variety of positioning applications.
