The E-Wedge is made from firm foam, with convolutions to help with pressure care, and has a waterproof cover. There is a zip underneath to remove the cover for washing, or you can wipe it clean. The adjustable webbing strap secures the E-Wedge to the mattress. Special sizes can be made on request.
Comfort Cuffs (sold separately) are available to help position the legs more securely on the E-Wedge. If you are ordering the E-Wedge on its own, without the Cuffs, 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 restrained in position, optional Cuffs can be attached to the Loop tape sewn on the E-Wedge. The Cuffs come in pairs, with three sizes available. Please see the Technical tab for the sizing chart, and select the required size from the drop-down menu. The Comfort Cuffs can be also purchased on their own, without the E-Wedge.
If you are a member of the public and require Comfort Cuffs, please provide the following General Public Restraint Authorisation Letter.

Note: This letter is not required when we send restraints to aged care facilities or hospitals, because their staff are already trained in their safe use.
