The Soft Lateral Cushion can be used in a variety of ways. With the patient lying on their side, one end can be placed under their head as a pillow. Remember that some filling can be removed to reduce pressure under their ear. The length is then placed behind the patient’s back and taken down between their legs. When used like this, it can help prevent the patient rolling onto their back, or even rolling forward out of bed.
Key Features
- Versatile Use: Can be positioned under the head or behind the back.
- Customisable Filling: Filling can be added or removed to suit individual patient needs.
- Pressure Relief: Designed to help prevent rolling and reduce pressure points.
Additional Information
A Therapist should position the Cushion. They may rearrange, add, or remove filling to the Cushion to suit individual Patients.
When ordering the Complete Product, we recommend purchasing at least one additional Cover. This way, you can regularly remove and wash the outer Cover only, and not the Complete Product, unless it needs washing.

Cleaning
Hand or machine wash up to 80°C/176°F. Cool tumble dry or air dry in shade. Chlorine bleach can damage the filling and covers. Usually, people purchase a second cover to use like a pillow case and remove for washing regularly. If the hollow-core filling needs washing, then the entire Cushion with the filling inside can also be washed as above. Larger sized Cushions with the filling still inside may not fit in a domestic washing machine; however, they can be washed by hand in a large laundry sink or bath. Hand-squeeze excess water out and air dry in shade. Note: If the internal filling becomes dislodged or misshapen during washing, it can be re-arranged by unzipping the Cushion and plumping the fibre to suit the patient’s individual requirements.
Waterproof Heat Sealed Covers can be wiped clean with a hospital grade disinfectant, or removed from the Cushion and hand or machine washed up to 80°C, then cool tumble dried or air dried.
Important: Ensure that all parts of the Cushion are completely dry before using or storing. Open the zip and place a hand inside to make sure the filling is dry.
Important
Inspect for any cuts in the material or open seams before using. If any damage is found, withdraw from use and contact Pelican Manufacturing. When handling, transporting or storing the Vacuum Bag, ensure the bag will not be damaged by sharp objects. A small pin prick sized hole will allow air to re-enter the bag and inflate the product. This product is designed 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.
