Skil-Care In-Bed Patient Positioning System from HealthyKin.com is used to position the patient securely on their side. It facilitates turning and repositioning the patient while reducing caregiver exposure to back injury. The system includes two vinyl-covered positioning wedges and a 40" x 48" bed pad. The positioning wedges have Velcro strips that secure to the bed pad to keep the wedges in place. The three-part bed pad features a soft, brushed tricot top, a middle layer of absorbent foam, and a bottom layer of urine-proof vinyl laminated to cotton, making it effective for comfort, pressure relief, and incontinence protection.
