Side Wedges
Product Details
The Side Wedges are designed to help reduce the risk of a patient rolling or slipping out of bed, providing gentle lateral support without feeling restrictive. They are particularly suitable for use in care environments or at home where reassurance and positioning support are needed during rest or sleep. By creating a soft but defined boundary at the side of the bed, the wedges help encourage safer positioning while maintaining comfort.
Each pair of wedges is secured to a draw sheet, which sits beneath the user and is held firmly in place with straps that attach to the bed. This keeps the wedges correctly positioned throughout the night, even if the user moves. The wedges themselves are made from dense foam, offering a balance of firmness for support and lightness for easy handling. A wipe-clean plastic cover supports good hygiene and makes routine cleaning straightforward.
The Side Wedges and Draw Sheet Kit provides a practical, non-invasive alternative to bed rails in situations where softer containment is preferred. Additional pairs of wedges or draw sheets can be used if required, allowing flexibility for different care setups.
