Description

Designed to curb an upper scoliosis, as well as giving the whole body support, and to reduce hip rotation. This unit can give abduction if carefully positioned, alternatively an abduction wedge can be used also in case of high active clients. The entire unit offers firm warm support, therefore maintaining a good body symmetry for night positioning. Trial reports on the JOSIE RANGE state that clients with a kyphosis / lordosis are very well accommodated and can lie supine without the risk of pressure areas. These cleverly designed units allow the carer / therapist to encourage and so to achieve shoulder flexion or promote extension. This unit can also be used for prone positioning with quadriplegics and tetraplegics. Please note the JOSIE range will not cope with patients who are high tone. The units come in four sizes: Josie 1 – 6 to 18 months Josie 2 – 18 months to 5 years Josie 3 – 5 years to 12 years Josie 4 – 5′ 5″ – and over

what our customers say

  • SENIOR PHYSIOTHERAPIST
    We especially like the KATIE and JEFFERY units as we find patients are more comfortable and accepting of them.  JEFFERY is brilliant for keeping legs in alignment which reduces stiffness of the limbs upon waking.  Patients with spasticity must be positioned correctly and this can be achieved by the Matchett Supports.

  • The JEFFERY has changed my life completely, before I had the JEFFERY I was in constant pain and had hardly any sleep.  I highly recommend JEFFERY because I’ve now got no pain and am able to sleep.  The JEFFERY does exactly what it was designed for, it warms up limbs and is a marvellous product.

  • SENIOR PHYSIOTHERAPIST
    We have been using various units in the Matchett Support range for 20 years.  The CORAL is especially favoured due to its versatility; for example, it is used for postural drainage, in a sensory room, on a trampoline or just in the rest room for general relaxation.  The flexibility of the units allows different clients shapes, sizes and requirements to be catered for.

  • Patients here at Papworth Hospital NHS Trust have been using the Matchett FOOTSTOOLS since 1984 and continue to use them today. They are used by our inpatients within the Cardiac Directorate for easing pressure and for maintaining the correct height of lower limb elevation. Nursing staff at our hospital endorse the reactions of patients who find them comfortable, simple and easy to use. We have found that these low technology aids are as effective as high cost technology.
