The TurnWedge, Ultimate Body Positioner, is the only positioner on the market that is specifically designed to meet your demanding repositioning requirements:
- Giving the patient a more effective and controlled angle of turn
- An ergonomic design that minimizes contact to the skin
- A nurse-friendly device that is both lightweight and easy to use
- Turning a patient up to or over 60 degrees laterally
Our design team, which developed the Turnwedge™, took feedback from nurses and wound care specialists and created our patented design. It addresses the concerns that such a lateral positioning device can answer. The Turnwedge™ has been designed to resolve the many issues that arise from caring for the immobile patient.
The Turnwedge’s unique design gives you the caregiver the ability to:
- Laterally position your patient in gradual increments, up to or over 60 degrees
- The patient’s position can be effectively stabilized with its non-skid surface
- The ergonomically designed Turnwedge™ can easily support up to a 350 lb. patient (Bariatric Model up to 600lbs.) with only minimal pressure to the skin.
Finally, the Turnwedge™ incorporates all these features into a lightweight, easy to use device, which will assist you in providing a practical, cost-effective solution to your wound care and pulmonary problems.
The Turnwedge™ is ergonomically designed for minimal contact to the skin.
It also provides firm body support and guards against sliding on bedding. The Turnwedge™ provides your patient a more effective and controlled angle of turn from 0 to 60 degrees. The angle of turn is determined by how far under the Turnwedge™ is placed. The more aggressive the turn, the better the clinical outcome.
