P905T Semi-fowler retraction wedge
Wedge made of high resiliency foam
Indications
• The semi-fowler retraction wedge is recommended for the prevention and resiliency foam treatment help of pressure ulcer, especially for patients with genu flessum.
• Prevention of pressure ulcers on the sacrum area.
Description
High resiliency foam
• Its mechanical properties (elasticity, flexibility) and high density (40kg/m³) enable positions to be maintained over time, enabling effective treatment.
Efficiency of the semi-fowler position
• Facilitates the relief of pressure on the heel and sacrum areas, by transferring pressure to the calves and thighs (zones at low risk of pressure ulcer formation).
• Ensures patient stability and reduces "forward sliding", limiting the effects of friction and shears which play a major role in the process of pressure ulcer formation.
Compatibility and synergy with SYST’AM® heel supports
• The use of the retraction wedge coupled with SYST’AM® heel supports enables the heel area to be completely or partially relieved of pressure, giving optimal protection or effective support in the treatment of existing pressure ulcers.
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.
Marker label on the cover
• Enables easy identification of how to use the device.
Non-slip lower face
• Helps the system to stay in place.
