FA'A'OA'OGA

The HoverTech Reusable Positioning Wedge assists caregivers with patient positioning. Patient turning and wedge placement relieves pressure on bony prominences aiding Q2 compliance. The wedge delivers a 30-degree turning angle for patients at risk for pressure injuries. The anti-slip material keeps the wedge properly placed under the patientand in place with the bed to reduce patient sliding. The wedge may beused with any HoverMatt® Single Patient Use Mattress or HoverSling® Repositioning Sheet.

To turn the patient on their side, the caregiver on the side the patient will turn towards will gently push down on the HoverMatt or HoverSling at the patient’s shoulder and hip, while the turning caregiver gently pulls up on the handles. Once the patient is turned on their side, the caregiver the patient is turned towards will stay with the patient whilethe turning caregiver presses the STANDBY button to stop air flow. \The caregiver supporting the patient may hold the handles of the HoverMatt or HoverSling while the other caregiver places the wedges.

Locate the sacrum and place one wedge below the sacrum. Position the other wedge, one hand’s width above the lower wedge to support the patient’s upper body.
  6. Lower the patient onto the wedges, ensure straps are not underneath the HoverMatt or HoverSling.
