Bedsores

A special device used to keep linen off a patient's legs and feet is known as a linen lift or bed cradle. This device creates space between the linens and the patient's lower extremities, helping to prevent pressure sores and discomfort. It is particularly useful for patients with sensitive skin, injuries, or those who are bedridden. Bed cradles can be adjustable and are often made of lightweight materials for ease of use.
