CareWave Lying & Positioning System

prod-det
Product Summary

CareWave offers a large selection of specialised lying positioning cushions. The unique design of the polystyrene micro-beads along with the stretchable Polyurethane covers allow for specific positioning for pressure relief, support and comfort. The CareWave body positioning system is very versatile, lightweight and easy to use.  The CareWave system adapts to all morphologies, offering support in sizes ranging from infants to adults.  The unique micro-bead filling allows a care person to adjust the support and comfort level around the user's body and limbs to protect from skin lesions, relieve pressure and assist with positioning the individual when sleeping at night. When positioning the individual, these ultra-flexible positioning cushions offer ‘dynamic’ support rather than rigid support which means the person can still manage shifting their position during their night’s sleep so they can find that effective but elusive lying position, whether supine (face up), prone (face down), or side lying. These cushions can be used on beds, on the floor, in wheelchairs and day chairs or anywhere. The CareWave Care-Kit is available for use on the floor for positioning during the day. The unique micro-particle padding means that the carer can increase or decrease the support and comfort level around the user's body and limbs by simply adjusting the filling. Care-Kit includes:

 

• 2 Cylindrical bolster cushions

• Small half moon cushion

• Abduction cushion

• Small universal cushion

• Transport bag
