PM-SS-56 Lower limb cushion with wedge

Product symbol: PM-SS-56

The cushion allows the correct positioning of the lower limbs in a slight bend while lying down. The wedge protects the user from the formation of adduction contractures in the hip joints and reduces the risk of bedsores on the medial side of the lower limbs. It helps to maintain the correct supine position by controlling the legs position, preventing them from crossing. The cushion also prevents the formation of hyperextensions in the knee joints.

It is highly recommended for the bedridden patients. It can be successfully used in both the supine and semi-reclining position, e.g. in post-operative therapy.

Using the cushion reduces the overstraining of the lumbar spine, improves the circulation and reduces the risk of the swelling of the lower limbs.

Usage:
• used together with the lateral positioning cushion (P-SS-08) helps to put the user in the Semi-Fowler’s position, where the pelvis and lower back are at 30°.
• together with the universal pillow (P-SS-31) helps to put the user in the anti-bedsore position while lying on the back.

Maintenance

PureMed™ meets all the essential requirements of the medical products of different kinds, according to the Regulation of the Ministers of Health on 3 November 2004 and the requirements contained in Annex I to Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices , deployed by the law of 30 April 2004 of Medical Devices (OJ L 93 of 2004., pos. 896). It is a flexible fabric which is safe for people. It is antibacterial, waterproof, vapour permeable and easy to disinfect.PureMed™ should be cleaned according to the laundry guide. Coated materials should be cleaned with the use of neutral pH soap solution (about 7) applied with a soft sponge or a damp cloth. Rub gently and wipe dry to remove the rest of the detergent. In order to keep the original colour and shine level, the procedure should be repeated every month.

Stains should come out if you use 25% solution of ethanol. Rub gently and wipe dry to remove the rest of the detergent.

Please, bear in mind that some stains might not be completely removed from the cleaned surface. It depends on several factors like active dyers permanently migrating to the material surface, the material composition and finish, or chemical composition of dirt as well as the time the soiling has remained on the material surface.

You should pay particular attention to the generally available domestic cleansers whose components might react with the soiling and cause an effect contrary to what was originally intended.

Remember that PureMed™ should never be cleaned with domestic cleansers and cleaning agents that are generally recommended for ‘eco-leather’.
