MITEX anti-bedsore pillow
A wedge-shaped pillow that props and supports the body, letting a patient rest on their side without the caregiver holding them in position the whole time.
How the MITEX anti-bedsore pillow works
Wedge shape props and supports
The thin edge slides snugly under the body, while the thick edge lifts the body into position
Comfortable side-lying
The patient can rest their full weight on the pillow in a relaxed position, without tensing up
Ventilation on both sides
Air channels on the top and bottom reduce heat and trapped moisture from lying in one position
Positions wounds clear of pressure
Position the patient so the wound lines up with the pillow's gap, reducing friction on the wound
Less continuous holding
Caregivers can set a lying position more easily, without supporting the patient by hand the whole time
For repositioning only
Use briefly during position changes — not as a replacement for a regular pillow
Two models of anti-bedsore pillow
Choose by where you'll use it — the 6-inch model suits lying positions, while the 3-inch model suits wheelchairs, with the thick edge stopping the patient from sliding.
6-inch model
For lying positions, size 15 × 15 × 6 in
3-inch model
For wheelchairs, size 15 × 15 × 3 in
How to use
Slide the thin edge under the area that needs support, then align the wound with the gap
Caution
Use during position changes only — not a replacement for a regular pillow
Reduces friction around the wound
Slide the pillow under the area with the wound and position the patient so the wound lines up with the pillow's gap. Part of the body lifts clear, reducing friction — and heat and moisture from lying in the same position for long periods.
A support aid for bed-bound patients or anyone who already has pressure sores
The tunnel under the pillow lets air flow through the area being relieved
