Posey® Bed Positioner - Horseshoe Wedge, Universal, 38"W x 15"L x 17"H

Please note: All prices are for individual units.

Posey® (TIDI Products) Horseshoe Wedge Bed Positioners (5730) are versatile, high-density foam clinical tools designed to provide comprehensive lateral support and stability for bed-bound patients. The unique horseshoe-shaped design is engineered to cradle the patient, providing simultaneous support to both sides of the body or creating a stable boundary to prevent unintended rolling and migration. This universal positioner is an essential component of comprehensive pressure injury prevention programs, as it helps maintain therapeutic alignment and offloads pressure from the spine and sacrum.

The expansive 38"W x 15"L x 17"H dimensions provide significant surface area for full-body stabilization, making it an ideal choice for patients with high acuity or those requiring significant postural support. Each wedge is constructed with a firm foam core that resists "bottoming out" under weight, ensuring the patient remains in the intended clinical position for the duration of the turning cycle. The moisture-resistant, vapor-permeable cover is designed for easy cleaning, helping to protect the internal foam from fluids while maintaining a hygienic environment for the patient.

Key Features

• Stabilizing Horseshoe Design: Anatomical shape provides bilateral support, cradling the patient to maintain midline orientation and prevent lateral migration.

• Large Universal Dimensions: The 38-inch width offers comprehensive coverage for a wide variety of patient body types, including larger adult populations.

• High-Density Foam Core: Engineered to provide firm, durable support that maintains its shape and incline angle over long periods of use.

• Moisture-Resistant Cover: Features a wipeable, medical-grade outer surface that protects the foam core from fluids and contaminants.

• Pressure Redistribution: Assists in offloading high-risk bony prominences by providing a stable, cushioned surface that distributes body weight more evenly.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Full-Body Stabilization: Used to provide a secure "cradle" for patients who are at risk of sliding or rolling out of therapeutic alignment.

• Sacral and Spinal Offloading: Ideal for rotating and supporting patients to ensure the spine and sacrum are not subjected to prolonged, peak pressure.

• Neurological Positioning: Provides the necessary stability for patients with neurological deficits who require external assistance to maintain a neutral postural position.

Contraindications Do not use this product for patients with unstable spinal fractures or other medical conditions where lateral positioning is clinically restricted. Do not use as a life-saving flotation device.

Warnings & Precautions CAUTION: Monitor patient skin integrity regularly at contact points. Ensure the wedge is positioned according to facility turning protocols to avoid unintended pressure points. Regularly inspect patient skin at all contact points; prolonged pressure from any device can lead to tissue compromise.

Ensure the wedge is placed over the bottom bed sheet and never in direct contact with broken or severely compromised skin. To prevent cross-contamination and ensure clinical efficacy, this wedge is intended for single patient use only.

Keep away from open flames or high-heat sources; while flame-retardant, the foam core can be damaged by excessive heat. Inspect the moisture-resistant cover regularly for punctures or tears; if the integrity of the cover is compromised, the wedge should be replaced to prevent internal foam contamination.

Wipe clean with hospital-approved disinfectant between uses for the same patient; do not launder or submerge the foam core in liquid.
