Description
The Skil-Care In-Bed Resident Positioning System is designed to help position and turn residents securely onto their sides while supporting pressure management and caregiver handling. The system includes two vinyl-covered foam positioning wedges and a 40 x 48 inches absorbent transfer pad with a fluid-proof barrier to help protect bed linens and the mattress. Hook and loop strips secure the wedges to the pad to help keep them in place during use. The three-layer pad features a soft, brushed tricot top, an absorbent foam middle layer, and a urineproof vinyl bottom laminated to cotton. The launderable pad also serves as a transfer pad, while the wipe-clean wedges support side positioning and repositioning in bed.
