- Enhanced Health Support: Designed for improved blood flow, breathing, and reduced snoring, the ergonomic wedge pillow system aids recovery post-surgery and alleviates knee, back, and leg pain.
- Premium Memory Foam: Our dual-layer design combines breathable memory foam atop a supportive base, ensuring a customized, pressure-relieving sleep that outperforms other wedges. The post-surgery wedge pillows conform to your body’s curves, providing superior comfort and pressure relief while maintaining their shape and support over time.

Expansion time may vary, but patience for 24-48 hours ensures full support. Maintain cleanliness by regularly washing the removable cover. Please remember to peel off the protective layer covering the Velcro before use.
Long Reach Fanwer Toilet Aids Tool
About this item
- Plastic
- ESSENTIAL AID. Designed to help people who find it difficult to bend, turn, and reach, this toilet aid allows the user to be more self-sufficient in and around their homes. It empowers individuals to complete the wiping function safely and effectively with dignity.
- DURABLE CONSTRUCTION. This essential aid is made using a combination of solid plastic and rubber to provide long-term strength and use. In addition to its strength, this cushioned, flexible end is exceptionally soft against the skin for added comfort.

- PROMOTES SELF-SUFFICIENCY. A growing number of people need help wiping due to limited arm and upper body mobility resulting from an accident, surgery, stroke, or other debilitating condition. This aid is ideal for anyone who needs assistance but does not require someone’s help.
- EASY TO USE. Insert a few sheets of toilet tissue or a pre-moistened wipe into the soft, flexible head of the toilet aid. This cushioned end grips the paper or wipes securely for convenient wiping. When finished, push the actuator release button on top to release the tissue.
