Clients who need their hips held in a set position while lying down, after hip surgery or where adduction and internal rotation are a risk, need a cushion shaped for the job, one that holds the position it is set in.
The Icare Hip Abductor sits between the thighs and is tapered so it stays put and does not work its way down the leg. Adjustable straps hold it in place, so the position you set during a home visit is the position the client still has at three in the morning. That consistency helps protect the joint and makes it easier for carers to reposition without losing alignment.
The cover zips off and washes, which is useful for a client who is in bed for most of the day.
