Chattanooga Wedge 50 x 35 x 20 cm

Ensure optimal patient stability and comfort during examinations and therapeutic procedures with the Wedge 50 x 35 x 20 cm. Designed for clinical excellence, this positioning tool is an essential asset for physiotherapists, massage therapists, and medical professionals who require precise body alignment to deliver effective treatment.

Constructed from high-density, supportive foam, this wedge resists collapsing under weight, providing reliable elevation that maintains its shape over time. The specific 20 cm height offers the ideal angle for elevating the lower limbs to reduce swelling or supporting the upper back to assist with respiratory function and comfort. Wrapped in a durable, medical-grade cover, the surface is easy to sanitize between patients, ensuring your practice maintains the highest standards of hygiene and infection control.

By reducing pressure on sensitive areas and preventing unwanted movement, this wedge allows practitioners to focus entirely on the procedure at hand rather than constantly adjusting the patient. Its non-slip surface ensures that once a patient is positioned, they remain secure, creating a safer environment for rehabilitation exercises and extended therapy sessions.

Key Features and Benefits

• Optimal Elevation: The specific dimensions provide the perfect angle for reducing edema in the lower extremities or supporting the torso for improved respiratory mechanics.
• High-Density Support: Engineered with firm, resilient foam that supports the patient's weight without compressing, ensuring consistent positioning throughout the entire treatment session.
• Hygienic Surface: The durable, non-porous outer cover is resistant to fluids and easy to wipe down with standard hospital-grade disinfectants, facilitating quick turnover between appointments.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of uses, from supporting the knees to relieve lumbar strain to elevating the head for patient communication and comfort.
• Enhanced Patient Safety: The stable base prevents shifting or sliding, minimizing the risk of injury during active rehabilitation movements or passive positioning.
