In-Bed Resident Positioning System

The In-Bed Resident Positioning System uses vinyl coated foam wedges and an absorbent transfer pad to safely move around the patient. It facilitates turning and positioning the patient while reducing caregiver exposure to back injury.

System Components:

The In-Bed Patient Positioning System includes two vinyl-covered positioning wedges and a 40” x 48” bed pad. The positioning wedges have Velcro® strips that secure to the bed pad to keep the wedges in place. The three-part bed pad features a soft, brushed tricot top, a middle layer of absorbent foam, and a bottom layer of urine-proof vinyl laminated to cotton, making it effective for comfort, pressure relief, and incontinence protection. This system may also be used for side-positioning a patient during mat assessment. Replacement Positioning Wedges are available in two sizes and can be purchased separately.
