LRU PILLOW
Edema control can reduce pain and allow for better range of motion of the knee. Getting the knee to fully extend allows for a smoother gait pattern and prevents limping. A limp creates stress in the knee, and several other areas of the body, which can cause pain.
These two goals can be accomplished with the aid of the LRU Pillow... A high-density foam pillow that comfortably elevates the leg at a 20 degree angle to control edema. The ankle is secured with a wedge-shaped design to keep the leg in a neutral position, hereby, encouraging knee extension. The LRU Pillow is light-weight and portable. It can be utilized in various locations, such as, bed, recliner, couch, etc…

Standard pillows have been used to elevate the leg. However, to achieve proper elevation, multiple pillows are required. Frequently, these pillows shift resulting in a bent knee position with the pillows under the knee or the leg rolling off to the side. Standard pillows also do not maintain proper elevation as they either settle with the weight of the leg or eventually slide out from under the leg.
The LRU Pillow was designed by an orthopedic surgeon and a physical therapist. The light-weight, portable, comfortable, and user-friendly characteristics of the LRU Cushion increase patient use during the critical stages of healing, resulting in the best possible outcomes and high patient satisfaction.
