It's important to keep moving patients with no or severely limited mobility in order to reduce the chances of pressure injuries like sores and ulcers. Using a LeanOnMe Pillow helps reposition a patient away from a pressure-forming area, as painlessly as possible.
Moulding and Supportive Filling
Etac LeanOnMe Cushions are filled with a granulated foam that's specially designed to allow limbs to comfortably sink and then be held in the desired position. It also has elastic properties that allow the pillow to repeatedly bear weight, absorb and redistribute pressure.
Held in Place By the Weight of a Patient
This pillow features a thin 'wing' of fabric that's attached to the pillow. The patient lies on the wing and their weight keeps the Etac Positioning Pillow comfortable in place to support their back.
Protect Patients From Bedrail Pressure
For sensitive patients, repeated contact with their bedrails can cause pressure and friction injures. This LeonOnMe Wing Pillow acts as a fantastic barrier and prevents a patient from accidentally rolling into a bedrail.
