Proper positioning is part of the treatment plan, not an accessory to it. MediDepot's Positioning Wedges, Rolls; Bolsters collection brings together therapeutic foam support products from two manufacturers: Skillbuilders, with an extensive line of positioning wedges, rolls, deluxe strap wedges, bi-height wedges, and floor sitter components, and Clinton Industries, with foam wedges, cube inclines, and pillows available in multiple sizes and color options. Every product here is sold with B2B pricing, useful for a single therapy room or a clinic outfitting several treatment areas at once.

How to Choose the Right Product
Selecting the right positioning support comes down to the application and the degree of incline or height needed.
- For general stretching and exercise support, a mid-range Skillbuilders wedge, such as the 6" or 8" height options, covers most routine physical therapy needs.
- For post-surgical hip or knee support, the Skillbuilders knee wedge or knee saddle crescent is shaped specifically for that use.
- For patients needing two incline options without switching equipment, a Skillbuilders bi-height wedge offers dual settings in one piece.
- For cervical or lumbar support during sitting or sleeping, a Skillbuilders positioning roll in a diameter matched to the body area provides consistent curvature support.
- For a lower-cost, general-purpose foam wedge or pillow, Clinton Industries offers smaller units with color options that can match a treatment room's decor.
- For patients needing extra stability, a Skillbuilders deluxe strap wedge adds a strap not included on the standard wedge line.
Technical Information, Safety, and Compliance
Every product here is intended for clinical, rehabilitation, or home therapy use and should be selected according to the patient's specific positioning needs.
- High-density medical foam provides firm, consistent support that resists bottoming out or losing shape over repeated use.
- Most items feature vinyl or fluid-resistant covers built for easy wipe-down and multi-patient use.
- Non-slip surfaces help keep wedges and rolls in place on beds, therapy tables, or wheelchairs.
- Deluxe strap wedges include an added strap for extra stability during positioning or transfer.
- Facilities should follow standard cleaning and disinfection protocols between patients, consistent with infection control practices for shared equipment.
Related Product Groups
Clinics using this collection often also look at pediatric seating and positioning systems for children with postural or neurological needs, along with treatment tables and portable treatment tables to pair with wedges and rolls during therapy sessions. Facilities managing broader physical therapy and rehab programs may also want to review therapeutic modalities equipment used alongside positioning support.
Smart Solutions for Equipment Purchasing
Building out a positioning support inventory is easier with a bit of planning.
- Start with the sizes used most often. A mid-range wedge height and standard roll diameter cover most general therapy needs before adding specialty shapes.
- Budget for variety, not volume. A small set of different wedge heights and roll sizes often serves more patients than many units of one size.
- Weigh upfront savings against features. Current pricing can make deluxe strap or bi-height models more attainable within the same budget as standard wedges.
- Consider color coordination for a shared treatment space, since Clinton Industries products come in multiple matching colors.
- Ask about current pricing and B2B terms before equipping multiple treatment rooms at once.
