About the Body Positioning Wedges

To Use

Consult your Therapist before using, as they may change our instructions for individual patients. The Body Positioning Wedges can be used in two ways:

  • Patient lying on their back – Using the two Wedges, slightly tilt the patient and place the smaller curved edge next to the patient’s chest under the arm, and then slightly tilt the patient’s hip to place the other Wedge next to their hip. Then place two Wedges on the other side, next to the chest under the shoulder, and next to their hip, again after slightly tilting the patient, so they will have the Wedges firmly next to them.
  • Patient sleeping on their side at 30 degrees – Turn the Wedges around and use the longer curved side. Tilt the patient slightly and place one Wedge behind their back, then allow them to lean back next to the Wedge. Some patients may benefit by having a second Wedge next to their hip. Some patients may need a third Wedge in front of their stomach to stop them rolling forward.
