3D Positioning Pillow
LEA.Pad

Supports eating and swallowing with the best positioning

We provide the best eating posture derived from clinical data.

We support safe eating and swallowing. At the same time, we reduce the workload of caregivers and improve work efficiency.

Main features

Ergonomic Design

Provides Optimal Posture Based on Evidence
By flexing the neck to create a 7 cm distance from the underside of the chin to the sternum and flexing the scapulae by 30 degrees, the tension in the infrahyoid muscles is alleviated, reducing the risk of aspiration.

Quantification of the Optimal Position

The addition of measurement markers enables the quantification and replication of the optimal position. Using a VF (videofluoroscopic swallowing study) dedicated repositioning pad, it is possible to identify the ideal posture during fluoroscopy, quantify it, and record the data.

3-Axis One-touch Adjustment

The head pad can be adjusted up/down, forward/backward, and in angle with a single touch. Simplified for easy use, even by non-specialists.
