How the patient turning pillow is designed
A U/L foam block with a handle. Under the knees to roll. Behind the back to hold a side-lying position.
Currently unavailable on Amazon. Check the listing for when it is back.
How it is designed
The listing move is one sentence: place the device under the knees, hold the handle, and assist the body into the position you want. The U-grooves keep the legs on the block while you pull.
Two heights. Use the U-block alone, or add the height pad for a larger frame. Height is a fit setting, not a treatment dose.
A velvet zip cover you can machine wash. Foam core. It ships vacuum-packed; the listing says wait 48 to 72 hours before you need it. Grey only on this page. Buyable child ASIN B0GVDCN2DC. Parent B0H5VBZDTK.
Why this shape
The U-block goes under the knees so a caregiver can roll. The L-piece holds the side-lying position. This pillow is the handle plus the hold. It is not a pressure-ulcer treatment.
Loose pillows slide out of a side-lying hold. A U-block with a handle is one pull. A bed pillow behind the back works until it doesn’t. The L-piece is a shaped tuck-back. The handle is a grip you do not get from a pillowcase.
What to skip
- This is not a pressure-ulcer treatment. Do not skip the repositioning schedule you already have.
- Follow the care plan. The listing 5-step is a handle-and-hold, not a substitute for trained turning.
