The foam interior is encased in a very durable, heavy-duty cover that is designed to help ensure proper hygiene control. In addition, the wedge promotes safety with an anti-slip mat sewn into the bottom. The Sammons Preston Positioning Wedge can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or mild disinfectant.
