Nursing Homes, Nov, 2005
The No-Slip Wedge[TM], a positioning and turning device from Intensive Therapeutics, Inc., complies with NPUAP and AHRQ Guidelines for using the 30-degree lateral inclined position when turning to avoid pressure on the hip. The top has a nylon waterproof cover that reduces friction and shear. The bottom is upholstered with a no-slip fabric that grips the bedsheet to prevent migration. The No-Slip Wedge is made of high-density, antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, and latex-free foam. A bariatric version for residents over 300 lbs is now available.
