Risk category
Suitable for patients at risk to very high risk.
Pressure ulcer categories
For the treatment of all categories of pressure ulcers, as part of a package of care.
Use within this product’s intended setting, fit and user-weight limits, following clinical assessment and the current Instructions for Use.
Support for clinician-led prone care
The Repose Prone Set combines a prone overlay and an XL wedge for patients receiving care in the prone position, whether ventilated or not. Selection and positioning belong within a clinician-led care plan.
Choosing and fitting your support
The responsible care team must follow the dedicated Prone Kit installation advice. Maintain an unobstructed airway, protect lines and medical devices, position the head as instructed and continue appropriate repositioning and observation. This page is not a self-proning protocol.
The manufacturer demonstration in the product gallery is for trained clinical teams following local prone-positioning protocols. This set includes the Prone overlay, XL wedge without strap and Large Pump; other equipment or pads shown are not included. Follow the current product-specific Instructions for Use.

Repose technology in daily use
Manual inflation with Smart Valve
The correct Repose pump sets the intended inflation pressure. Inflate with the user off the product. Use the pump specified for the supplied configuration.
Daily checks and cleaning
Check inflation with the manufacturer’s daily squeeze check and inspect positioning and skin regularly. Reconnect the correct pump and top up within a maximum of 14 days; the daily check still applies between top-ups. Always inflate and top up with the person off the product.
Clean visible contamination with detergent, water and a non-abrasive cloth. In the absence of visible contamination, follow the manufacturer’s weekly cleaning guidance and local infection-control policy. Dry thoroughly. Do not machine wash, immerse or sterilise the inflatable support, and keep liquid out of the valve. Removable PU covers have separate washing instructions.
Clinical use and precautions
The IFU excludes unstable spinal fractures, posture-management needs and body shapes that cannot be fully supported. Assess bed or trolley side rails with the complete support arrangement.
Keep the valve away from skin and avoid direct contact with open wounds or compromised skin. Seek clinical advice immediately if skin condition changes. Keep away from heat and sharp objects. The valve contains a metal spring: do not use near MRI equipment. Read the complete IFU before use.
Use as part of an assessed pressure-care plan, alongside appropriate skin checks, repositioning and other care. The support does not replace those measures.
Clinical information
Frontier lists these Repose-range references on its Prone Kit page. They mainly concern adult overlays and the wider range; they are not trials of this exact prone set or a self-proning protocol. Prone positioning requires the trained care team and dedicated product instructions.
Clinical assessment, skin inspection, repositioning and the wider care plan remain essential. Use the current product instructions for indications, precautions and maintenance; older study protocols are not instructions for present-day use.
