The Knee Comfort Wedge is made from firm foam to help support the legs.
About the Knee Comfort Wedge
The foam has convolutions to help with pressure care. It has a waterproof sewn cover. Spare Polyester covers can be purchased if necessary.
If you are ordering the Knee Comfort Wedge on its own, without the Cuffs described below, then we do not need the General Public Restraint Authorisation Letter discussed below.
About the Comfort Cuffs
If the person’s legs need to be held in position, Comfort Cuffs can be attached to the Knee Comfort Wedge by Hook & Loop Tape. The Cuffs are sold separately to the Knee Comfort Wedge, and you can select them from the drop-down box.

If you do require the Cuffs, then we require the follow General Public Restraint Authorisation Letter.
