• Can be used to the left or right side and allows central position on the bed
• Anatomically shaped to mould to bodily curves

A central anatomical insert enables the 30◦ position to be maintained over time by providing a supportive structure which prevents sagging; the upper part of the insert is made from soft viscoelastic foam to ensure comfort and a consistent reduction in pressure. The ergonomic design of the insert respects the bodily curves and is shaped according to the areas at risk.
