The \u003cstrong\u003eMolnlycke Tortoise Bed Turning \u0026amp; Positioning System\u003c\/strong\u003e was built to solve both problems at once: keeping patients safely offloaded while sparing staff the manual strain of hand-turning and pillow-stacking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tortoise system uses a low-friction glide sheet paired with wedge supports to hold a patient in a stable 30-degree lateral tilt — the position clinicians target to relieve pressure over the sacrum and trochanters. Because the turn is achieved with a controlled glide rather than a full lift, one caregiver can often reposition a patient who previously required two, reducing shear on fragile skin in the process. That combination of offloading and shear reduction is central to any facility's pressure ulcer prevention protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock two configurations in this collection, \u003cstrong\u003ereference 1400800\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e1400801\u003c\/strong\u003e, which differ in size and support components to fit different patient builds and bed setups. If you're outfitting a unit, it's worth confirming mattress width and patient weight range before ordering so the wedges seat correctly and the tilt holds through a shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tortoise is a strong fit for long-term care, acute wards, and home settings where a patient spends extended time in bed and turn schedules are unavoidable.
