Orthopedic Pillows Designed by Orthopedic Surgeons

Orthopedics is a branch of medicine that deals with the prevention or correction of injuries or disorders of the skeletal system and associated muscles, joints, and ligaments. Orthopedic surgeons treat trauma, sports injuries, diseases, and infections using both surgery and non-surgical means. Non-surgical methods include the use of orthopedic pillows often designed by orthopedic surgeons. Most products can also improve overall comfort while siting, standing and most importantly sleeping. Orthopedic surgeons have designed pillows, cushions, and wedges to give added comfort and relieve pain in otherwise uncomfortable positions. Below is a discussion of several products designed by orthopedic surgeons.

The comprehensive Berkie System is a series of cushions developed by an orthopedic surgeon to work together for comfort and diversity in elevation and posture, while also providing neck, back, and lumbar support. Five anatomically precise Berkie pieces adhere to each other through their interlocking microfiber covers, creating an infinite number of upright and horizontal positions to reduce spinal pressure, stress on the heart, back pain, edema, snoring, acid reflux, arthritis, and many other conditions. The patented Berkie System employs high grade polyurethane memory foam pieces covered with removable machine washable microfiber covers. The lush microfiber pile covers contain millions of erect fibers that stimulate nerve endings in the skin to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and encourage limb movement and joint flexibility.

Several pieces of the Berkie System can be purchases separate for targeted support including the Berkie Neck Rest and Berkie Back Rest. The neck rest is a ergonomic contour log of the highest quality five pound memory foam. It is also temperature sensitive to conforms to delicate joints. The back rest combines memory foam polymers with an ergonomic contour base that absorbs and redistributes pressure evenly across the upper body. It works in conjunction with the neck rest for maximum comfort.

Another valuable orthopedic product is a body pillow. The Avana Leg Rest is a 30" memory foam body pillow that can be used as a leg or knee wedge. Leg wedges are placed under the leg and provide a comfortable upward angle for your legs as you sleep on your back. They can be placed between the legs to enhance comfort for side sleepers. These pillows are made from memory foam. A body pillow can also double as a knee pillow that can help ease pain in the hip and back during sleep. These pillows are placed between the knees while sleeping to provide maximum comfort and reduce strain on the hip bones. The Avana Body Rest is a 50" memory foam body pillow that can provides comprehensive support for the feet, knees, legs and abdomen. It is ideal during pregnancy and can help women sleep in an uninterrupted manner. They offer enhanced comfort and relaxation and help keep the body in the most appropriate position.
