We have launched our T-Roll which is great for postural care management for those who have limited mobility. The product is mainly for leg positioning when the user is lying supine in the bed to prevent contractures and wind-sweeping. This design includes a wipe-able and breathable cover to provide comfort and dignity to the user.
There are many benefit from using the T-Roll:
1. It neutralises the joint positioning- This is key to good positioning as the limbs are not being forced to support themselves.
2. Stability- A stable posture the vital element in administering an elevated level of security and relaxation
3. Prevention- Prevents leg contractions and wind-sweeping.
4. Effective for pressure care management- Allows pressure to be dispersed throughout the legs.
