Frequently asked questions
Why choose a 30° positioning cushion rather than another angle?
The 30° incline is recommended by pressure ulcer prevention protocols as it allows the patient to be maintained on their side while avoiding excessive pressure on bony areas such as hips and shoulders. This angle provides an ideal compromise between stability and pressure point reduction.
Is this cushion suitable for prolonged day and night use?
Yes, the high-density filling is designed to retain its shape even with continuous use. The machine-washable cover allows optimal hygiene to be maintained over time. However, it is still recommended to regularly alternate patient positions according to care protocols.
How should I maintain this positioning cushion?
The removable cover comes off easily and can be machine-washed. It is advisable to check the specific washing instructions on the label to preserve fabric quality. The inner filling does not require washing and should remain dry.
