Action Products Inc. Lateral Positioner
ACTION PRODUCTS, INC. · Model Lateral Positioner
A unique product designed to protect the patient while in the lateral position. Accommodates both the shoulder and upper arm. Provides pressure relief and nerve protection. Very suitable for chest, orthopedic or kidney procedures.
Key tips
- ·A positioner that has lost padding thickness or developed a tear no longer redistributes pressure as designed - replace it rather than keep using it.
- ·There is no electronic self-test here: condition is assessed by hands-on inspection every PM, not by an alarm.
