P912L Positioning wedge for the upper limbs
Wedge made of visco-elastic foam with memory effect
Indications
The SYST'AM® upper limb positioning wedge is a device designed to reduce oedema or prevent it from appearing. It is also very well adapted for perfusions and by hemeplegical patients.
Description
Made of viscoelastic foam with memory effect
• The heel sinks into the memory foam.
• Combined with the curved form of the system, it reduces pressure peaks in the high-risk areas.
Anatomically shaped wedge
• The anatomical shape respects the natural curve of the arm in order to guarantee patient comfort and maintain the position of the upper limbs over time, for more effective use.
• Specially designed shape built in accordance with recommendations for upper limbs declining positions.
• Device is easy for the medical team to use.
Purpose-designed wedge
• Can be used in the semi-fowler position (raised chest and/or legs).
In the lying position
• The extension of the elbow avoids restricting vein perfusion in the forearm.
• Allows access for a drip to be put in place.
Symmetrical equipment
• Can be used on both the right and left side.
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.
• Unlike most systems attached to lower limbs using belts and Velcro fasteners, which are uncomfortable and cause irritation, the SYST’AM® P912L is entirely protected by a cover and has a particularly comfortable attachment system that is easy to adjust:
- the attachment system offers sustainable support maintaining the device in the right position,
- the system is easy to install.
Non-slip lower face
• Prevents sliding of the support.
