User Manual - Master Comfort Back Wedge

Support and stability with Back Wedge - Long (1 helper):
Side lying with Back Wedge - Long (1 helper):
7. Place the Back Wedge under the knees with
the less steep side towards the thighs. The soft
top and the stabile core give perfect relieve to
the knees and legs.
5. When positioning the user in a side lying
position use the Back Wedge - Long with the
steeper side towards the user´s back. This gives
the user the most optimal stability and perceptu-
al information.
6. Back Wedge - Long can be used along the legs
to give support or a well-dened sense of the
surroundings especially for people with
perceptual impairments, dystonia, or dementia.
3. Use the Short Back Wedge during perineal
care to prevent static support from the helper.
This way the user can be positioned in an inde-
pendent position.
4. When positioning the user in a 30 degrees
side lying position the Back Wedge - Long gives
the perfect support. Place it with the less steep
side towards the user´s back.
2. By placing the wedges and cushions on top
of the Master Turner you maintain the sliding
abilities of the Master Turner when repositioning
the user.
1. Use the Back Wedge and Positioning Wedge
to gain stability and perceptual information when
side lying. To increase the stability and position
the wedges and cushions can be placed under
the Master Turner.
