What is the principle of memory foam knee/leg pillow to prevent complications?
Disperse pressure and reduce pressure points
The memory foam knee/leg pillow is made of advanced memory foam material, which has good pressure dispersion ability. When the patient lies on the pillow, the memory foam will adapt to the patient's body shape and weight to form a support surface that matches the curve of the leg. This personalized support can effectively reduce the pressure points under the knees and legs, and avoid blood circulation disorders and skin damage caused by excessive local pressure.
Improve blood circulation
Long-term bedridden patients have reduced physical activity and slowed blood circulation, which is prone to the formation of deep vein thrombosis in the lower limbs. Memory foam knee/leg pillows help improve blood circulation in the lower limbs by providing proper support and comfort. Its soft material and fitting design can reduce the friction between the legs and the bed surface, reduce the resistance to blood flow, thereby increasing blood flow rate and reducing the risk of thrombosis.
Keep the skin dry and reduce the risk of infection
Memory foam knee/leg pillows usually have good breathability and moisture absorption, which can keep the skin surface dry. This is essential for preventing skin infections, as a humid environment can easily breed bacteria and increase the risk of infection. Memory foam pillows help reduce the occurrence of skin infections by absorbing and dispersing sweat, keeping the skin clean and dry.
Relieve muscle tension and promote recovery
Patients who have been bedridden for a long time are prone to muscle tension and stiffness due to reduced physical activity. Memory foam knee/leg pillows help relieve leg muscle tension and promote muscle relaxation and recovery by providing comfortable support. This comfortable sleeping environment helps patients rest and recover better, providing strong support for the recovery process.
