Face-Down Recovery Equipment for Every Patient
FDME rents a full range of face-down positioning equipment for patients recovering from vitrectomy, retinal detachment repair, macular hole surgery, and other procedures requiring face-down recovery. Every piece is fitted to your height and weight by a trained Patient Coordinator, delivered to your door, and set up before you need it — so healing can start the moment you get home.
Face-Down Recovery Chair
Our face-down recovery chair is the most versatile piece in our lineup — perfect for reading, eating, watching TV, or simply resting while maintaining proper face-down positioning. Padded and fully adjustable, it's fitted to each patient's height and weight for maximum comfort during the long recovery hours your doctor has prescribed. Ideal for vitrectomy, macular hole, and retinal detachment recovery.
Tabletop Face-Down Support (And Travel unit!)
The tabletop unit lets you use any regular table or desk in your home as a comfortable face-down positioning station. It's ideal for patients who want to eat meals, do puzzles, or spend time at their kitchen or dining table without breaking their prescribed recovery position. Lightweight, padded, and easy to move from room to room — no furniture rearranging required.
Face-Down Bed Support
Sleeping face-down is one of the hardest parts of retinal surgery recovery. Our bed support unit is designed to keep your head, neck, and shoulders properly positioned throughout the night — with padded cutouts for your face and gentle contour support so you can actually rest. Fitted to your specifications and set up on your bed by our team before you need it.
Face-Down Recovery Mirror
The angled recovery mirror is the small piece of equipment that makes the biggest difference during face-down recovery. Positioned in front of your chair or tabletop unit, it lets you watch TV, see family and visitors, or read comfortably — all while keeping your face safely pointed toward the floor as your doctor prescribed. Included with every rental at no extra cost.
