P910L 30° Positioning wedges
Positioning wedge made of memory foam and a stabilisation nub made of high resiliency foam
Indications
• Pressure ulcer on the sacrum with unfavourable evolution or rapid evolution.
• Pressure ulcer on the sacrum generating pains on dorsal decubitus position.
Description
Moulded viscoelastic foam with memory effect
• Precise moulding of the body and increase of the body surface in contact with the mattress;
• Better pressures distribution: reduction of transcutaneous pressures on areas at high risk and facilitated blood circulation;
• Improved comfort and stability of the patient;
• Skin effect obtained through the moulding process: protection of the foam against external aggressions (tear, crumbling);
• With a very high density to prevent deformation and sagging effects.
Supports the lower limb at the thigh level
• Contributes to relieving pressure on the sacrum area by transferring support to a lower risk zone.
• Enhances patient comfort by avoiding rotation of the vertebral column, contributing to more effective use.
• Consequently lowers pressure exerted on the pelvic area.
• Prevents contact between the knees (a painful area posing the risk of pressure ulcer with prolonged contact).
Hollowed out at the sacrum area
• Relieves pressure on the risk zone.
• Contributes to reduce painful contacts.
• Increases the proven efficiency of the position at 30°.
Stabilisation insert
The SYST’AM® 30° wedge has been designed using multi-material stratification combining a central anatomical nub foam moulded to an very soft viscoelastic surface.
• The nub is a key feature for the effective use of the device, enabling the 30° position to be maintained over time by acting as a support structure.
• The nub enables to have the upper part made of exceptionally soft viscoelastic foam, ensuring comfort and a consistent reduction in pressure.
• The ergonomic shape of the insert respects the body curves and fade out accordingly at areas at risk.
30° symmetrical wedge
• Can be used on both the right and left side.
• Facilitates handling during position reversal.
30° anatomical wedge
• Respects and moulds to bodily curves.
• Contributes to patient comfort and effective use.
Reduced width of the wedge
• Allows the patient to be perfectly centred on the bed.
• Aims to avoid accidental contact of the patient with the barriers of the bed.
• Will not become lodged between the barriers of the bed.
Features of the cover
Fabric coated with bi-stretch polyurethane
• Reduces friction and shear effects.
• Supple and soft to the touch (comfortable).
• Favours the exchange of gases (steam, sweat):
- fights against maceration.
• Impermeable material:
- better hygiene,
- longer support system lifespan.
• Washable at 90°C, can be decontaminated using cold sprays.
• Treated to resist fire.
• Boot, wedge and pad models have a non-slip lower face to help to stay in place.
• In multi-patient use, it is preferable to buy one new cover per patient.
Non-slip lower face
• Prevents sliding of the support.
Carrying handle
• Placed on the lower face.
• Facilitates handling and transfer from one room to another.
Marker label
• Enables perfect positioning of the sacrum pressure-release system on the right physical area of the patient: controlled and increased effectiveness of use.
• Facilitates positioning for care staff.
