Anti-gastro-oesophageal reflux support wedge pillow
The Wedge Support anti-gastro-oesophageal reflux pillow, with interior structure in non-deformable expanded polyurethane, is flexible, providing good support, very comfortable, with high performance and reliability. It has an outer cover in knit fabric with Teflon® anti-stain treatment, a special process that gives it oil- and water-repellence.
It is useful for providing effective support for the chest, lifting it higher than the legs, offering effective prevention of episodes of nocturnal acidic gastro-oesophageal reflux.
Acidic gastro-oesophageal reflux occurs when the stomach is not totally sealed and the gastric acids rise into the oesophagus, irritating its internal layers, and as a result, causing acidic reflux. One of the best systems for preventing the occurrence of this phenomenon is to lift the bed surface with opportune supports.
The Wedge Support anti-gastro-oesophageal reflux pillow effectively provides an increase in height of about 17 cm, also progressively lifting the shoulder blades, therefore avoiding the need to use several pillows (an unnatural situation that would compress the abdomen, forcing the gastric acids upwards, consequently aggravating the symptom of reflux).
The outer cover is made in knit fabric with Teflon® anti-stain treatment, a special process based on nanotechnology that gives it oil- and water-repellence: an effective invisible barrier against soil. The most common water-based (coffee, soft drinks, fruit juices, wine) and oil-based (fats, oils, ketchup) substances do not penetrate the fabric, enabling removal simply with a dry cloth, in the case of a brief permanence. If on the other hand the stain has penetrated, you can use a damp sponge; in the case of an old stain, it will be necessary to wash the fabric with a neutral detergent. This makes it possible to keep the bed environment healthy and hygienic, protecting the pillow over time.
Care
The external cover with zip is washable at a maximum temperature of 40°C.
The inner core can be cleaned rapidly, taking care to ensure that significant amounts of water do not penetrate into the pillow.
The pillow cannot be washed because in a domestic environment it would be extremely difficult to guarantee satisfactory drying. If the pillow retained even just a small percentage of internal moisture, it could cause subsequent problems.
