The Odstock Wedge reduces pressure under the heels, without increasing pressure on the thighs and calves.
It also provides more support under the thigh when patients are in a semi-recumbent position. It lessens the tendency for patients to slip down the bed, thus reducing shearing forces to the sacrum.
By tilting the pelvis, it reduces lumbar lordosis – desirable following back surgery and for improving sleeping posture for people with back problems.
Pressure on the heels can be more than halved when compared with a standard Kings Fund Mattress.
Fewer positioning changes of the patient are required which reduces patient handling.
It has a vapour permeable, stretch cover and a PU base.
High frequency welded seams protect it from contamination but it should also be used with Platilon covers to prevent transfer of contamination between patients and clinical areas.
The Odstock Wedge weighs only 1.5kg and can be manoeuvred and carried without strain.
It can easily be transferred between acute and community use.
