Softform Odstock Pressure Relief Wedge

The sacrum and heels can develop pressure sores in patients who spend long stretches of time lying in bed. The Softform Odstock Pressure Relief Wedge reduces interface pressures on the sacrum and heels without significantly increasing pressure on the thighs or calves.

Reduces Pressure on the Heels

Clinical research has proven that the degree of knee flexion necessary to achieve substantial levels of pressure relief is relatively small. This pressure-redistributing wedge was specially designed by clinicians to lower the amount of pressure on the heels. This is done through repositioning the hip and elevating the knee.

Reduces Lumbar Lordosis

This positioning wedge reduces lumbar lordosis by tilting the pelvis. This is particularly helpful after back surgery, and is great for improving the sleeping posture of patients with back issues. 

Maintains Posture and Prevents Slipping

 This wedge improves and maintains patient posture in the recumbent position, as well as reducing the tendency for the client to slip down the bed. This decreases shearing forces on the sacrum. 

High Quality Construction

This wedge has been made to last, with high frequency welded seams that ensure the core is protected from fluid ingress. It is also supplied with a multi-stretch cover that is is waterproof and vapour permeable. The foam core is constructed from high density foam to ensure durability.

Two Cover Options

This wedge is available with two choices of cover (fuchsia or blue). Simply select your preferred option using the drop-down menu at the top of the page.

Designed For Use with the Softform Pressure Reducing Heelpad

This product is most effective when used in conjunction with Softform Pressure Reducing Heelpads, available in single and double versions. When combined, these two products significantly reduce pressure on the vulnerable heel area.
