Kid-man PILA Positioning Pillow 50x60 cm with Antibacterial Polyurethane Cover

The Kid-man PILA positioning pillow is a medical-grade support cushion engineered to provide effective pressure relief and facilitate patient repositioning. Measuring 50x60 cm, this versatile pillow is filled with a balanced blend of high-resilience (HR) foam and polyester fiber, ensuring stable yet comfortable support for the head, limbs, or pelvis. Its design is specifically tailored to assist caregivers in maintaining patient comfort while reducing the risk of pressure ulcers during long-term care.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the PILA pillow lies in its high-quality construction and hygiene standards. The combination of HR foam and polyester fiber offers a perfect balance between softness and structural integrity, preventing the pillow from flattening over time. The integrated polyurethane cover is a critical feature for clinical environments, as it is liquid-resistant, breathable, and antibacterial. This ensures that the pillow remains hygienic and easy to maintain, even under intensive use in hospitals or nursing homes.

Suitable for

• Pressure ulcer prevention and management
• Support for the head, shoulders, pelvis, knees, or ankles
• Patient repositioning in hospital settings
• Long-term care in nursing homes or home environments

This pillow is designed for medical positioning and support rather than as a primary sleeping pillow for healthy individuals. It may not be suitable for patients requiring specialized orthopedic bracing or those with specific anatomical needs that require rigid, non-deformable support structures.

How to use

To use the PILA positioning pillow, place it under the desired body part to alleviate pressure points or to maintain a specific therapeutic position.

The cover can be removed via the hidden zipper for cleaning and disinfection as required by your facility's hygiene protocols.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the dimensions to ensure the pillow meets the specific support requirements of the patient.
• Confirm that the cleaning temperature of 95 °C aligns with your facility's laundry capabilities.
• Assess the intended use to ensure a positioning pillow is the correct medical device for the patient's condition.

Usage recommendations

For optimal hygiene, it is recommended to wash the polyurethane cover regularly at 95 °C. Ensure the cover is completely dry before re-attaching it to the pillow core to maintain the integrity of the filling materials.
