Invacare Bed Cradle for Legs
For those with limited mobility and functionality of their lower legs, bearing the weight of a duvet for long periods of time can be uncomfortable or even painful. The Invacare Bed Cradle for Legs is the answer to this problem, alleviating pressure by holding the duvet away from the legs and the feet.
Who Should Use the Invacare Blanket Cradle?
This Bed Cradle, sometimes referred to as a 'ned cage', is ideal for anyone who finds the pressure of their duvet or blanket is uncomfortable on the legs. It's particularly suited to pressure relief patients, as the weight of a blanket on sensitive skin can lead to unwanted extra friction on both the top and bottom of legs and feet.
Which Beds Will the Cradle Fit?
The Invacare Blanket Cradle is designed to fit comfortably on almost any bed. The dimensions are 32 x 53 x 35cm (WxLxH). To determine whether the Invacare Cradle will fit your bed, we recommend measuring your bed before purchasing.
Eliminate Duvet Pressure
Whether due to an illness, chronic condition or injury, the weight of blankets on legs and feet can be painful. By lifting the blanket off the user, this duvet pressure is reduced if not altogether eliminated, preventing pain from occurring and enhancing the comfort of the patient. This effect can also improve recovery times, as there will be no friction or abrasion from the blanket that can complicate skin recovery from sores and ulcers.
