NYOrtho™ Lateral Position Knee Abductor
RECOMMENDED USE:
For side-lying patients with leg contractures that require knee abduction.
Description
The NYOrtho™ Lateral Position Knee Abductor is designed to maintain proper leg separation and alignment during side-lying positioning. It provides structured support to help stabilize the lower limbs and ensure consistent positioning during rest. Its contoured design helps keep the knees properly spaced and supports controlled positioning in clinical and home care environments. This device provides a more stable positioning solution than a typical knee separator pillow.
