Oakworks Prone Pillow - Manual (Page 2)

• Supine Positioning
The Head Rest Cushion can be used to facilitate comfort and
support when the client is lying in a supine position by turning
the cushion around on the platform so that the open end points
away from the client. This angle provides cervical support to the
client when in a supine position. (see Fig 3)

The Prone Pillow should always sit high
enough so that there is sufficient air flow.
(see Fig 4) When using the Prone Pillow
on soft surfaces for prone positioning, it is
important to insure the the air flow not be
restricted in any way and that the client can
breathe freely. When using the platform on
a soft horizontal surface – such as a bed – it
is recommended that a firm, flat surface/
object be placed under the platform to lift the
platform above the padding to allow good air
flow to the client.

sized to do a superb job of making your clients more comfortable and

NOTE
• Cleaning the Patient Positioning Platform
Clean the upholstered portion of the Prone Pillow with a mild deter-
gent solution. A diluted 1/100 bleach solution can be used for disin-
fecting. Dry the unit immediately after cleaning to remove any excess
cleaning solution. Use of strong cleaners such as alcohol, acetone or other
products that contain high concentrations of these substances, can shorten
the life of your upholstery, or discolor it.
NoTE: Damage caused by them will not be covered under the warranty.
Use only a mild solution of 4:1 diluted non-alcohol cleaner such as
409 ® , Fantastik ® or some other non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the
polymer platform. Apply with a damp (not wet) lint-free cloth.
