Midi-Plinth Positioning Wedge

Medi-Plinth is pleased to introduce its new range of patient positioning aids. The range consists of four fantastic quality high density foam aids all covered with vinyl zipped removable covers.

The positioning aids provide a vital method of both support for the clinician whilst they undertake a variety of positioning and therapy activities.

The range is available as a complete set of 4 aids or individually. All positioning aids are available in Medi-Plinths standard 25 vinyl colour options.

Upholstery on Medi-Plinth couches have been developed over many years to eliminate folding, stitching and minimise creasing. This ensures smooth coverage and easy maintenance of infection control.
Upholstery comes in 25 standard colours. All of the upholstery is upholstered in durable and comfortable vinyl which inhibits MRSA (3352 Methicillin resistant to Staphylococcus Aurous) Bio-Pruf treated to resist the growth of mould, mildew and odour causing microbes. The Vinyl is also fire retardant. Most couches are available in 750mm extra wide upholstery, which offers improved general comfort and access especially when treating larger patients. Please kindly note that you will be required to include your vinyl selection as part of your couch order.

Resistance to Stains and Chemicals:
The fabrics are resistant to most mild acids, alkalis and household stains. Some substances such as ballpoint pen, lipstick, newsprint and food colourings may be absorbed by the vinyl and cause permanent staining.
This can be minimised by immediate cleaning with a damp soapy cloth or sponge. Care should be taken to protect the vinyl from oil based products (including body oils) as continued contact will cause the vinyl to harden.

Cleaning:
To maintain their appearance, the fabrics should be cleaned regularly to remove fatty substances and soiling. Light soiling can be removed by wiping with a damp, soapy cloth or sponge and subsequent rinsing with water before drying. If dirt is ingrained, the surface may be scrubbed with a soft brush. For stubborn stains a mix of 1 part methylated spirits to 5 parts water may be used. A very mild antiseptic may also be used if required.

Caution:

Do not use chemical bleaching materials, solvents, abrasive cleaners, wax polish or aerosol spray polishes. The use of these substances is likely to be harmful to PVC coated fabrics and repeated use can result in the removal of the plasticiser of the PVC compound, which will result in hardening and subsequent cracking of the material surface.
