Abduction Wedges

SEATING & POSITIONING

Application Instructions

1. Position the patient as desired.

2. Place the wedge on the patient ensuring that there is no

discomfort.

3. Position the Abduction Wedge in place with the soft foam strap(s)

and secure with the hook closures sewn into the strap.

Abduction Wedges

Posey Abduction Wedges are lightweight, polystyrene ﬁlled

wedges for full leg and above the knee abduction. They

feature a unique construction of an outer breathable vinyl mesh

ﬁlled with polystyrene beads. This allows air to ﬂow through the

wedge, thereby minimizing the discomfort of conventional foam ﬁlled

products, which do not breathe and can build up heat. And 4” (10

cm) wide, soft foam fabric straps with hook closures keep the wedge

secured in place between the knees.

Small Abduction Knee Wedge

Allows abduction and alignment of the thighs while in a seated

position. Supplied with one soft foam fabric strap with hook

fasteners.
