If a person makes too few spontaneous move-
ments, there is an increased risk of pressure
ulcers. Regular changes of position reduce the
risk of pressure ulcers. Position as required in both
reclining and seated position.
Curera®Positioning is a range of stable pillows,
rolls, and wedges that meet most needs for support
and relief. They are also a great help when chang-
ing dressings and for patient care.
Curera®Support Wedge can be used for placing
the patient/user in a lateral position to relieve the
sacrum, which is a particularly sensitive area. Two
support wedges must be used together for lateral
positioning.
The Support Wedge comes with a Hygiene Cover.
The hygiene cover does not allow liquid or air to
penetrate, but is vapour permeable (vapour is
wicked away).
Make sure that the patient is positioned correctly so
that airways are unobstructed.
The support wedges are to be placed differently,
depending on the mattress being used. Refer to the
user instructions for more information.
Working with Curera®Positioning is simple, and
the benets are many. Contact Care of Sweden for
training and further information.
