What do you look for in a pillow?

Pillow shopping, generally, isn’t a frequent occurrence, so, when looking for a pillow, it’s important to get it ‘right’. It is thought most pillow shoppers consider factors such as pillow thickness, firmness, the filling material and how easy it is to clean. Similar considerations are likely to be made by Dental Care Professionals in search of an appropriate pillow for special care patients or the elderly.

The AB Germa Vacuum Pillow is an excellent choice for DCP’s looking for flexibility in terms of size and shape. The Vacuum Pillows are available in a range of sizes and can be moulded to the shape of the patient, providing a customised and semi-permanent stabilisation/positioning. The pillow moulds to the contact point, removing the risk of pressure sores or wounds.

On top of this, the Vacuum Pillow is made from a soft PVC film, making it comfortable, as well as much easier to clean than other pillows. The wipe clean surface means that it can be quickly and easily disinfected between patients.

The Vacuum Pillow is quick and easy to set up. Simply position the patient with the pillow deflated around the head/neck/area requiring support, then attach suction to the pillow to remove the air, which allows the pillow to stay moulded in position. Once finished, push valve to release the vacuum and the pillow then becomes malleable.

The AB Germa Vacuum Pillow is available through your usual dental retailer or contact J&S Davis directly on 01438 74734.
