Key Benefits
This hip abduction pillow provides essential support by maintaining the legs in a stable, abducted position, which is critical for hip recovery. The 1.9 density foam ensures firm support that prevents the legs from crossing or rotating, minimizing strain on the hip joint and reducing the risk of dislocation. The concave design conforms to the patients body, enhancing comfort and improving positioning, even during prolonged use. By stabilizing the hips and legs, this pillow promotes safer and more effective recovery outcomes for patients post-surgery or post-injury.
Compatibility and Applications

It is commonly applied in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and home care for patients recovering from hip surgeries, including hip replacement, or for individuals with hip fractures. Its medium size is designed to fit most adult patients, providing effective support without compromising comfort.
Usage Guidelines
Place the pillow between the patients legs, positioning it so that the concave surface supports the inner thighs and knees. Secure any straps, if applicable, to keep the pillow in place, ensuring the legs remain in an abducted position as directed by a healthcare provider. The pillow should be used as instructed by a medical professional, especially during rest or sleep, to ensure proper hip alignment. For additional instructions, consult DeRoyals product manual or a healthcare provider.
