The Skil-Care 30° Foam Wedges for Bariatric Patients are advanced positioning aids designed to provide secure and stable support for side-lying patient positioning.

Ideal for hospitals, rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities, and homecare environments, the system assists caregivers in maintaining therapeutic positioning while reducing physical strain during transfers. Durable foam construction provides dependable support, while the wipe-clean surface allows quick disinfection to meet infection control standards.
