Semi-Fowler Retraction Wedge - Pressure Relieving Support for Heels and Sacrum.
The Semi-Fowler Retraction Wedge is designed to facilitate targeted pressure relief for the heel and sacral areas, promoting safer, more effective care for patients at risk of pressure injuries. By redistributing pressure to the calf and thigh muscles, which are less vulnerable to sores, it helps reduce the risk of tissue breakdown in high-risk zones.
This positioning wedge is particularly beneficial for users in profiling beds, as it adds stability while helping to prevent forward sliding. It significantly minimises shear and friction forces, key contributors to pressure sore development.
The wedge is compatible with specialist heel supports for enhanced protection and is simple to use in both care home and clinical environments.
