The Knee Separator is made of foam covered in soft interlock material, used to help prevent the patient's knees rubbing together when lying in bed. It will replace using a pillow and is easy to wash. Position the thick central part of the pad on one leg, so it protects the knees from each other.
Key Features
- Fastens with two soft elasticised Hook & Loop Tape straps to keep the separator in position.
- Can be used on both knees for very bony individuals.
- Versatile use on arms and legs as protective pads.
Additional Information

- Pressure Pad
- Knee Cushion
IMPORTANT: This product is to help with the prevention of pressure sores. Sometimes, due to the patient deteriorating, the product may become unsuitable. Continuous monitoring is necessary and alternative products may be recommended.
