Knee Cushion

Pelican Knee Cushion

The Knee Cushion has a concave shape and is made with convoluted foam. It has a soft, waterproof, heat sealed cover to help with infection control and cleaning. The cushion can be placed in different positions between the legs as it can still prevent the knees from touching. The long flap at one end will expand when there is pressure on the cushion, as the air within the foam needs to move. Available in one size.

More Details

Cushion Uses
* This item may be suitable for a variety of uses, but it is mainly designed to go between the legs when someone is on their side in bed, or as a side support for a smaller person sitting in a wide chair.

* An alternative use for this item is next to a person when they are seated in a chair. It provides side support to people who may lean to one side. As the ends are convoluted the person may be able to rest their arm on the top.

* This item can be placed in different places on the leg as it can still prevent the knees from touching. It could be placed above the knees, over a knee or below the knees.

Structure
* There are convolutions cut into the foam all around the cushion, making it soft against the legs and helping reduce or remove the pressure of one knee on the other. The convolutions also help allow blood to flow in the legs and help keep the area cool.
* The long flap at one end will expand when there is pressure on the cushion, as the air within the foam needs to move.

Cover
* The soft waterproof cover has been heat sealed, so if it is soiled, it can be wiped clean. It also provides infection control.

Portability
* Lightweight and portable

Considerations

Manufacturer's warning
* Ensure the person using this cushion is not going to get out of bed, dislodging the cushion, and possibly tripping over it.
* Regular monitoring is recommended, particularly where the user's condition is changing.
