Patient Positioning Equipments

Positioning patients in the right manner in their bed, chair, or car is essential. Correct positioning helps in the maintenance of right alignment. Proper body alignment, in turn, aids in avoiding cramps and muscle strain. It is necessary to provide the best care to your bedridden patient. Patient positioners help the patient feel protected against severe complications such as pressure ulcers, known as bedsores, and nerve damage. Though preventable, these injuries can potentially make the patient's health condition worse. Hence, treating them on time and preventing them from occurring again is important. Selecting the appropriate positioning devices for each procedure is a collaborative process for the perioperative registered nurse, surgeon, and anesthesia provider.

These products are designed to aid in proper positioning and pressure distribution, and our positioning aids provide a complete offering to help position and protect patients from developing graver complications. Health Products For You brings you the best quality patient positioners from Core Products, Patterson Medical/Performance Health, Skil Care Corp, and many more, at your discretion.

Cervical Support Pillows

These are finely made with quality materials. The pillows are attractive and colorful cervical rolls that cradle the head, align the spine and reduce tension in the neck and back. Cervical Pillows are available in various sizes and shapes. They are manufactured by our top brands such as Hermell Products and their likes.

Hip abduction pillow

An abduction pillow or wedge is useful in eliminating hip and muscle pain, stabilizes legs, and aids in sound sleep. They are most beneficial after a hip replacement surgery. After hip surgery, the patient requires complete rest, and thus, they are recommended to remain still in bed for prolonged periods. The pillows are considered essential to provide hip support to prevent trauma to the injured or operated areas of the body.

Lumbar Rolls

Lumbar rolls are designed to sit in the lower back's inward curve to improve the sitting posture. These can prevent and provide relief from back pain. A lumbar cushion is a great solution for those looking to remedy their poor sitting posture.

Memory Foam Pillows

Memory foam looks very firm in appearance but softens once the person puts pressure and body heat on it—the pillow molds itself around the contours. Memory foam pillows are popular amongst masses as it cradles the cervical area during the sleep. The person sleeping on it feels firm, but at the same time, the pillow provides adequate support so that the muscles can relax. Unlike regular pads, these have a slow response time.

Cervical Collars

Cervical collars, also known as neck support braces, support your spinal cord and head. These collars are a common treatment option for neck injuries, spinal injuries, and in some cases of chronic neck pain. There are various types of cervical collars available at HPFY. You can choose the best one that fits your needs. The kind of neck brace you choose largely depends on the type of injury you have endured and the cause of the damage.
