Immedia LeanOnMe Soft, relieving and calming positioning cushions

The best position is always the next This makes repositioning of a bedridden person an important intervention as they are not able to do micro and macro movements on their own. In the right position, the person can relax and thereby experience less problems while lying down. This will also contribute to preventing skin injuries and pain that can stem from being bedridden for a prolonged time.

When is it time to change position? LeanOnMe literally means “Support me” and aspires to support the user in achieving rest and maintain body functions, while also supporting the carer with better working conditions, both through the easy-to-use cushions and the ability to utilise the users own resources when transferring and positioning. People without disabilities make several micro and macro movements per hour. These changes of position are an important part of preventing pressure ulcers, contractures, edema, pneumonia, and pain. Evidence for the most effective position and frequency of repositioning...

How to use Pressure – Prevent and relieve It is generally accepted that repositioning users who are at risk of developing a pressure ulcer can prevent development by removing pressure from the at-risk site.

Spasticity and contractures – Prophylactic support If a person is bedridden...

Pain – Relieve and enclose A bedridden person is often distressed and in pain; either due to trauma or complications of reduced blood flow such as pressure ulcers, contractures, ischemia, or edema. The carer must observe the immobile person, and make sure that the facial expressions show signs of well-being before the repositioning is completed - and to determine if it is time for the next position. It is also possible to reduce the pain and discomfort through sensory stimulation. An enclosing position increases the body awareness through the sense of touch, which causes the level of the stress-reducing...
