This wedge is an adjunct to the Oxford HELP® range which can be used effectively to avoid inferior vena cava compression by the gravid uterus in the later stages of pregnancy and as early as twenty weeks.
Patients can often feel insecure with a table tilted to a requisite angle to avoid hypotensive episodes however the insertion of the obstetric wedge is a comfortable solution reliably performing a 15° angle.
The support also provides perfect pelvic tilt to patients undergoing transvaginal ultrasound investigation.
