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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this wedge after knee or hip surgery?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I wash the cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemove the cover from the foam wedge and machine wash in warm water with mild detergent.
