Cardinal Health Devon Body Alignment Wedge Foam Positioner
PRODUCT DETAILS
The Cardinal Health Devon Body Alignment Wedge Foam Positioner is a single-use, freestanding patient positioner from the Devon line. The preformed foam wedge is placed on a flat surface such as an operating table or stretcher, where it helps position and stabilize a patient or body part in preparation for and during medical procedures. Its shock-absorbing foam construction helps reduce pressure on the bony prominences of the torso, arm, and leg. The line offers the wedge in two profiles that differ in height and incline angle, so the angle can be matched to the positioning task.
