• Hygiene maintenance

Helps Prevent Pressure Injuries 

It's important to keep moving patients with no or severely limited mobility in order to reduce the chances of pressure injuries like sores and ulcers. Using a LeanOnMe Pillow helps reposition a patient away from a pressure-forming area, as painlessly as possible.

How Do Carers Use the Positioning Cushion?

The design of this Roll Positioning Cushion makes it easy to manoeuvre and manipulate in ways that will help each individual patient. Bellow is a demonstration video of an occupational therapist using this pillow for lateral positioning with a patient who has suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Moulding and Supportive Filling

Etac LeanOnMe Cushions are filled with a granulated foam that's specially designed to allow limbs to comfortably sink and then be held in the desired position. It also has elastic properties that allow the pillow to repeatedly bear weight, absorb and redistribute pressure.

Can Be Shaken to Make Thinner or Thicker

The inner foam can be shaken and repositioned to make certain parts of the cushion thinner or thicker. This helps a patient find their most comfortable fit and mould around the parts of their body need the most support.

Can Help Reduce Anxiety and Provide Tactile Stimulation

The winding and malleable build of the LeanOnMe Roll can provide a patient with really comprehensive tactile stimulation. This can help calm patients with neurological issues (as seen in the video above) and anxiety, as well as those with decreased body awareness.

Facilitate Easier Breathing

For bedridden patients with respiratory issues, it can be difficult to hold themselves in positions that encourage easier breathing. Etac LeanOnMe Positioning Cushions can be used to secure patients comfortably in supine poses that maintain healthy airflow. 

Includes a Soft-Touch Pillow Cover

Included with this model of the LeanOnMe Roll is a soft-touch cover that's comfortable enough for long-term use, as well as encouraging healthy air circulation and helping to regulate temperature.

Also Available With a Waterproof Hygiene Cover

This LeanOnMe Roll Positioning Cushion is also available with a hygiene cover, which is waterproof and can be wiped clean with disinfectant. This cover is ideal for patients with bladder or incontinence issues, or for severely immobile patients who don't leave bed to eat or bathe.
