Abstract
Therapy cushions are provided having angular body supporting surfaces. The cushions can be juxtapositioned to orient patients in various positions for achieving effective bronchial drainage. First and second cushions have two adjoining 90.degree. abutment surfaces with corresponding abutment corners. Each of the surfaces terminate at flattened end areas from which extend body-contacting sloping portions. The sloping portion of one cushion is indented and includes a predetermined inclined surface. A wedge cushion may be used to tilt the patient.
Claims8
In combination, therapy cushions arrangable in abutting relationship to support and orient a person for effective bronchial drainage comprising:
- a first cushion having a first surface extending about 90.degree. from a second surface that extends between a first abutment corner and a first end area and including an inclined surface extending from said first end area and merging at an obtuse angle with a first sloping portion that terminates at a first juncture with said first surface;
- a second cushion having a third surface extending about 90.degree. from a fourth surface between a second abutment corner and a second end area including a second sloping portion extending from said second end area to a second juncture with said fourth surface wherein the distance along corresponding normal axes of said second and third surfaces are equal, said first and second cushions arranged with the first and second abutment corners adjacent each other to form a first configuration when the second and third surfaces are placed against each other and a second configuration when the first and fourth surfaces are placed against each other.
