ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The James Leg Elevator – Low is a leg support pillow, or leg support cushion, used to elevate the leg. It is 100% heat-sealed for infection control.
The patient’s leg rests on a convoluted surface. These convolutions can help blood flow and may help reduce the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
The Elevators have been used in orthopedic wards for many years to help reduce or even prevent swelling in the leg.
HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Place under the leg. The foot will be raised about 25cm / 10″, depending on the length of the patient’s leg. The Elevator has side walls to help prevent the leg from rolling off the sides. Place a rolled-up towel under the knee if the patient’s leg needs to be bent or flexed.
PRODUCT MATERIALS
Foam, wipeable material.
