Post-Operative Hip Immobilization

Sammons Preston Hip Abduction Pillow is used to prevent the hip from moving out of the joint. The abduction pillow is ideal for positioning the lower extremities following hip replacement surgery. The foam padding is designed to protect dressings and offers light compression helps prevent swelling and pain.

High Density Foam Construction

The pillow helps maintain proper positioning for the hip, which contributes to improved posture and sitting tolerance. The positioning aid also allows airflow for increased circulation and helps prevent adductor spasticity. Made of either high density foam or vinyl covered foam, the pillow is available in 8 inches in width across the top or 6-½ inches. The vinyl coating makes it easier to clean and disinfect between uses.

Hook and Loop Padded Straps

Holding the legs apart, the Sammons Preston Abduction Pillow keeps the legs from improper motion, decreases pressure on the hips, and secures correct positioning for optimal healing. The pillow is placed between the thighs and attached to the legs with hook and loop padded straps. Ensure that the straps are not attached too tightly, compromising circulation. The hook and loop straps are thread through a slit-in foam so the straps remain secured to the pillow.
