Skil-Care 45-Degree Positioning Bed Wedge, Foam, 17" x 8" x 8"

The Skil-Care 45-Degree Positioning Bed Wedge is a freestanding foam support designed to reduce sacral pressure and help prevent decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) in bedbound or limited-mobility patients. Its 45-degree angle of inclination shifts body weight away from the hipbone and coccyx, two of the most common sites for skin breakdown, making it a valuable tool for caregivers, nursing homes, and home health settings focused on skin integrity and pressure ulcer prevention.

Measuring 17" x 8" x 8", this compact foam wedge fits easily under the hip or sacral area to maintain a consistent, supportive angle throughout the night or during extended bed rest. Because it is freestanding, it can be repositioned quickly without straps or attachments, allowing nursing staff to adjust patient alignment as needed. The wedge also aids in the management and healing of existing pressure sores by relieving continuous surface contact on already-compromised skin.

Constructed with LSII foam for supportive comfort, this positioning wedge is a practical addition to any pressure-relief or wound-care protocol. It pairs well with other turning and positioning aids to help maintain proper body alignment, reduce shear forces, and support overall patient comfort during long periods of bed rest.
