Jewell Nursing Solutions Bed Sore Rescue Turning Wedge for Patients – Positioning Hospital Pad with Contoured Sacral Coccyx Area and Pressure Distribution Layered Foam to Deter Bed Sores

Product Description

Remove the pressure of pressure ulcer treatment

Pressure ulcers cause suffering to countless patients yearly, with treatments costing up to $12,000 per month, per ulcer. The Bed Sore Rescue Wedge offers a revolutionary approach to patient positioning with its patent-pending bilaterally symmetrical angles and contoured sacral / coccyx area. With high-efficiency layered foam construction for pressure distribution and ergonomic support to prevent spinal twisting, The Bed Sore Rescue wedge decreases the cost of pressure ulcers and helps preserve quality of care.

We care about every patient

The Bed Sore Rescue wedge is designed to reduce patients’ susceptibility to pressure ulcers as it can minimize skin interface pressure to any of the body’s extremities, from head to toe. Engineered to meet the 30-degree tilt position recommended by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, it offers effective support even during head-of-bed elevation. High-density foam works to prevent pressure ulcers from forming, and it boasts a special contouring that helps to evenly distribute weight and protect the tailbone from touching the sitting surface.

Pressure ulcer treatment has never been easier

A moisture-proof cover makes The Bed Sore Rescue turning wedge suitable for multi-patient use, requiring no laundering and wiping clean with disinfectant and a cloth. The vapor-permeable cover promotes micro-climate control, helping to maintain optimal skin temperature and moisture balance while ensuring patient comfort.

• – PREVENT PRESSURE INJURIES while maintaining trunk stabilization with The Bed Sore Rescue Turning Wedge by Jewell Nursing Solutions. The Bed Sore Rescue Wedge follows the 30 degree tilt position recommendation of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel.
• – HIGH-EFFICIENCY LAYERED FOAM optimizes pressure distribution. Engineered to provide extremely low skin interface pressure, the high-density foam deters formation of pressure ulcers for greater comfort of patients in long-term care facilities.
• – NO-SLIP DESIGN features our patent-pending bilaterally symmetrical angles and contoured edges for superior comfort and control. The only one of its kind, this ergonomically correct support under back and hips prevents spinal twisting.
• – INTELLIGENTLY CONTOURED to avoid direct contact with the sacral / coccyx area, The Backbone Turning Wedge takes the pressure off of the spine, helps distribute weight evenly, and protects the tailbone from touching the sitting surface.
• – MOISTURE-PROOF COVER is vapor-permeable to enhance microclimate control and maximize hygiene. Because it wipes clean with a disinfectant towelette, The Backbone Turning Wedge is easy to maintain and suitable for multi-patient use
