Q: Why choose reusable wedges over disposables?
A: Along with cutting down on waste, Medline’s reusable wedges help you save money over time, and there’s less inventory to manage. Plus, unlike foam, the Nylex cover is flame retardant and fluid resistant, making reusable wedges suitable for a greater range of applications in the OR.
Q: Are reusable wedges useful beyond the OR?
A: Yes! Thanks to their easy-to-clean covers, reusable wedges can be used long-term—not just during surgery. During extended stays, use them to position patients and reduce the risk of pressure injuries and other complications.
Medline also offers specially shaped wedges that stabilize specific parts of the body to aid the healing process. And for patients undergoing rehabilitation, a reusable wedge’s Nylex cover is comfortable to the touch, while the foam underneath provides necessary support.
