Systam Hip Abduction Wedge
An important tool for bed pound patients or those in recovery from surgical procedures, the Systam Hip Abduction Wedge has a number of different functions. For those with cerebral palsy as well as patients who are recovering from hip or lower limb surgery, it stops the new hip from dislocating, while also assisting with recovery and re-development of flexibility. It is also used to help people at risk of pressure sores, as it is a great way of repositioning the body to relieve pressure.

Who Can Benefit From Using the System Wedge?
There are a number of different groups who use this hip abduction wedge. Post-op hip surgery patients use it to keep the new hip in place, while older patients, or those who are bed bound or sedentary, take advantage of the flexibility of this tool, using it to reposition their lower body to spread weight and pressure around the body.
Aid To Prevent Pressure Sores
For bed bound or sedentary patients who are vulnerable to pressure ulcers, the Hip Abduction Wedge is particularly useful in repositioning the body to avoid pressure build up in a particular area, preventing wounds from developing.
Treatment Tool For Cerebral Palsy
The hip abduction wedge can also be used to treat children with cerebral palsy and other physical and neurological disabilities. Placed between the legs, it restricts instincts to cross the legs over which can have harmful consequences, of either dislocating the hip or impinging development of the adductor muscles.
How To Use the Hip Abduction Wedge
This Hip Abduction tool is incredibly simply and easily to use. The block is placed between the user's legs, as high up as is comfortable, holding the legs apart to prevent hip dislocation, and exercising and stretching the important adductor muscles.
