[MCOH-EH] Side positioning devices for bariatric patients

[Diane Shaw]

What equipment has anyone found that is helpful to turn bariatric patients (over 500 lbs.) on their side and hold them in position for cleaning and peri care? Our present lifting equipment is getting soiled quicker than we can get it cleaned and back in service!
