Item no. 5000002
LEJRELET Wedge is a wedge cushion suited for creating stability and comfort. This support cushion is designed to provide upright or reclining support. Place the positioning wedge at the client’s back upright to create stability or on the flat side to create a 30-degree supine position. You can also place Wedge at the client’s chest to ensure a comfortable side-lying position.
This wedge cushion is designed based on the anatomy of the human chest. This makes the support cushion particularly suited for placing in front of the client’s chest or at their back.
The wedge cushion combines two types of foam, to provide firmness and stability to, while also being pressure relieving.
The wedge shape and the unique slip-resistant cover makes this support cushion ideal for creating comfortable and stable side-lying positions which is useful during intimate hygiene and dressing in bed, wound care on the lumbar or pelvis areas or for relaxation and sleep. In these cases, the wedge cushion can be placed either at the back or at the front of the client depending on their needs.
As a support cushion in the back, Wedge ensures that uneasy clients cannot turn themselves onto the back, while staff are trying to perform their tasks. When the cushion is placed at the chest, it ensures that the client is supported and cannot tip over onto their stomach. For very uneasy clients use two Wedges – one at the front and one at the back, to reduce the risk of externalizing behaviour.
To ensure even better working conditions, combine Wedge with LEJRELET Pad High, which is a support cushion for the client’s legs.
When creating a bend at the knee using the profiling functions of care beds, the bend does not always align with the client’s knees. Using the Wedge cushion, it is possible to create a knee-break exactly where the client’s knees are, providing the best possible support for the client. Combine this position with a Pad High support cushion to elevate the client’s lower legs and relieve the legs, heels, and lower back.
This positioning cushion is suitable for use in all assisted living homes, nursing homes, hospitals and more.

In this film we demonstrate how a bedridden patient can be positioned using VENDLET as well as LEJRELET Wedge and Pad High
LEJRELET Wedge can be wiped clean with water and disinfectant liquids or poured over with boiling water. We recommend that the pillow is not machine washed, as water can seep through the seams, after which the foam takes a long time to dry. The cover cannot be removed, and we recommend that no other cover be placed on the outside of the pillow, as this may reduce the effects of the cushion.
