Contracture Positioner Kit

The management of established contractures and the proactive mitigation of fixed deformities present complex challenges for tissue viability nurses, occupational therapists, and clinical care teams. 

The PosiPerle Contracture Positioner Kit provides an advanced, multi-component intervention designed specifically for contracture prevention and targeted pressure redistribution. 

When limbs are structurally shortened or fixed, high localised pressures accumulate rapidly over bony prominences, creating an extreme risk for tissue breakdown and severe pressure ulcer development. 

By integrating these specialised contracture prevention cushions into a 24-hour care plan, clinicians can effectively offload vulnerable zones while supporting the physiological alignment of compromised limbs. 

The self-moulding polystyrene microbeads within each cushion adapt smoothly to all body shapes to relieve pressure while providing postural support and promoting a better night’s sleep all round, which drastically enhances overall patient compliance, dignity, and physiological wellbeing.

From a clinical utility perspective, this comprehensive kit acts as a supportive and breathable solution tailored to meet rigorous infection control standards across multi-user medical environments; including four targeted PosiPerle positioning cushions – PP8014 Semi Fowler XL 70x56x14cm, PP8045 Semi Fowler S 50x35x20cm, PP8012 Half Moon XL  180x30cm, PP8035 1/2 Circle 43x13cm, PP8013 Delta XL 60x30cm and the PP0085 PosiPerle Transport Bag – allowing carers to execute highly precise, anatomically tailored positioning protocols for both upper and lower extremities. 

Recognising that moisture lesions and high shear forces aggravate compromised and vulnerable skin, each cushion is encased in a bi-elastic, waterproof polyurethane cover that stretches to prevent the “hammocking” effect that spikes interface pressure. 

Furthermore, the inclusion of PneumaPure® filtration technology acts as a reliable mechanical barrier against liquid and pathogen ingress down to 0.08 microns, ensuring internal sterility while allowing the cushion to breathe naturally under patient weight. 

This technical combination gives medical professionals the ultimate confidence that they are delivering superior comfort, joint stabilisation, and tissue protection without compromising on strict hygiene and cross-contamination protocols; contributing to overall patient wellbeing.
