Icare Supporta Hip Abductor Cushion with Straps

A contoured wedge that goes between the thighs and straps in place, holding the legs apart at a set width while the person lies supine. After a hip replacement it maintains the abduction the surgeon requires and prevents the adduction that risks dislocation. In long-term care it also keeps the knees from pressing together, which is where skin breakdown between the legs starts.

Why caregivers choose it

• Keeps the hips stable in the supine position to aid healing
• Prevents the adduction that carries dislocation risk after hip replacement
• Supports post-operative positioning to a prescribed leg position
• Velcro straps secure the cushion to the legs so the position survives repositioning
• Prevents knee-on-knee skin contact and the breakdown that follows in long-term bed rest
• Removable, washable cover
