Where the Closed Cell Large 45 Degree Spinal Body Wedge Sponge Fits
This wedge is built for the length of the body, not a single joint. Lay it along the back to hold a patient in a lateral position, or set it under the torso to raise one side into an oblique for a spinal or body study. The 21-inch length spreads support from the shoulder to the hip, so the tilt stays even, and the patient does not sink into a gap. The 45-degree face gives a firm, repeatable angle, and the flat base keeps it from sliding on the table. When the exam calls for a wipe-clean cover instead of bare foam, the vinyl spinal wedge bolster gives similar support with a sealed vinyl surface.
Built to Support the Whole Back
- Closed-cell foam is firm, so 21 inches of support holds the body without sagging in the middle.
- Non-porous surface wipes clean, so fluid stays on top instead of soaking into the foam.
- No coating and charcoal grey foam, so it reads fully radiolucent with a clear image.
- 45 degree face and flat base give a steady angle that does not slide on the table.
- Latex free foam suits patients and staff with a latex sensitivity.
- Light enough to place by hand, even at 21 inches long.
Cleaning and Care
Clean the wedge with cold water and a mild detergent right after any contact with fluid. For day-to-day cleaning, a disinfectant wipe works well, with a few minutes of dry time before the next patient. Do not soak, launder, or autoclave the foam, and store it flat and dry with your other positioning sponges so the long edge keeps its shape.
