9. Placing of the wedges on top of the turn
sheet makes the position more stable due to the
anti-skid on the wedges. Small adjustments to
the rest of the body can be made to ensure that
the body is comfortably supported.
8. Place Positioning Wedges along the backside
of the body under the Turnsheet to give the
user optimal comfort. Wedges under the Turner
allows the user to move to supine lying inde-
pendently
6. The Positioning Wedges have a Non-Skid
surface on the underside to make them stick to
the Mattress Cover. Elevate the head end of the
bed. You have the perfect position for sitting
in bed without sliding down. For extra comfort
place Wedges along the torso´s sides.
5. Place the Positioning Wedges -XS under the
Turnsheet so that they follow the thigh bones
i.e. from the hollow of the knee to the buttocks
– one on each side. The Wedges are placed
like a ”V” - narrowest at the knees and wider
upwards.
7. The user is lying on a Master Turner or a Light
Turner Turn system. The demented, anxious or
perceptually challenged person can benet from
a Positioning Wedge – S next to the torso. Place
the Wedge before turning. Elevate the Turnsheet
with a hoist.
3. Raise the Turnsheet using the hoist and turn
the user to side lying. The stomach is supported
by the Wedge and keeps the user from rolling
forward. The spine is in alignment.
4. The user is lying on a Master Turner or a Light
Turner. Elevate the knee-bend fully and place
support under the feet from the end of the bed.
A Positioning Wedge - S can be used.
2. The bigger the stomach, the further away from
the body. This way the Wedge always supports
the stomach when the user has turned to side
lying. If the user is very overweight a size M or L
is recommended.
1. The user is lying on a Master Turner or a Light
Turner. Place the chosen Wedge – often size S –
next to the waistline.

15. All Master Comfort Positioning Wedges have a Non-skid
underside. This way they are easy to place and they stay
in place, even if they are positioned on top of the smooth
Mattress Cover. Because of the soft surface of the Wedges the
Master Turner can slide and move on top of the Wedges. The
Wedges stay in place and give an optimal support if placed
under the Master Turner. The Wedges can also be placed on top
of the Master Turner – depending on the situation.
14. To avoid tissue injuries our Wedges are made
of pressure relieving foam to increase support,
stability, and comfort for the user. The outer side
feels soft and comfortable when pressed against
the body´s pressure points.
12. Place the last Wedges along the user´s legs.
This way the user feels a comfortable and stabile
support all the way down on both sides.
13. Place a Positioning Wedge on each side of
the pillow. This gives the user´s head a stable
and comfortable support. This will distribute the
pressure from the head on to a bigger surface
which lowers the risk of tissue injuries and
increases the comfort for the user when lying in
the bed.
11. Place the Wedges along sides the torso.
Do not force the Wedges under the user. Place
them lightly so the user feels a soft but distinct
support from each side. This way the user can
still move slightly around but feels the support of
the Wedges.
10. The user is lying on a Master Turner or a
Light Turner. Place the choosen Wedges on each
side of the pelvis under the Master Turner to
create a comfortable cradle.
