Description
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.

PureMed™
Antibacterial fabric safe for people, easy to disinfect, and suitable for multiple users in hospitals or rehabilitation centers. Contains Silver Zeolite components and complies with REACH regulation. Light, soft and easy to shape.
AirMesh™
AirMesh is a special aerating-massaging fabric used in the places, which have a directis a special aerating-massaging fabric used in the places, which have a directcontact with the user’s body. As a result, the comfort of use has significantly increased, andat the same time the risk of bedsores has considerably decreased.
Granules
The product has been filled with very light and small polystyrene granules. The granules may move freely inside the product, and as a result it is muchthe product has been filled with very light and small polystyrene granules. The granules may move freely inside the product, and as a result it is mucheasier to adjust the product to the user’s body shape. Additionally, the air, which is inside PureMed™ the cushion, can easily migrate through the vapour-permeablecover around the user’s body.
AntySlip™
A special non-slip fabric which prevents the cushions and pillows from moving on the mattress.

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’.
