Movement serves as a protective mechanism against pressure ulcers and other bed-related complications. Individuals with decreased sensation, limited mobility, and/or altered consciousness may lack the ability to respond to the body’s warning signals, such as pain or discomfort. In such situations, individuals may need support and relief in lying and sitting position. Our product series of positioning pillows is used as an aid to relieve pressure and provide support during positioning and position changes, benefiting both the individual and the caregiver. Regular, minor adjustments in position are often enough to ensure proper blood circulation(1), thereby reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. Example of positioning Curera® Triangle Pillow can be used to reduce the risk of shear forces in a seated position by placing the pillow under the knees, and as support during resting lying position. Curera® Triangle Pillow can also be used as a back support cushion. Positioning pillows can be used to relieve pressure and position the individual based on their diagnosis, needs, and general condition. Keep in mind that relief should be as even as possible, and a change in position always results in increased pressure on another part of the body(5). You can learn more about positioning and get specific tips in our positioning guide. Covers for comfort and hygiene Curera® positioning pillows have a fixed outer cover in blue cotton. The positioning pillows are available with a cotton cover for extra comfort, or a liquidproof hygiene cover for easy cleaning.
