Description
New Charcoal Fabric
The Supporta range will now be available in a modern charcoal fabric, offering a contemporary, neutral appearance that suits a wide variety of home and healthcare environments.
Enhanced Modular Design
The cushions have been updated with a more modular construction, providing greater adaptability to support users as their needs change over time.
The updated cushions will be introduced progressively as existing stock is sold through.
During this transition, you may receive either the current version or the updated charcoal version. Both versions meet the same quality and performance standards, and no action is required when placing orders.
Comfortable positioning for shoulder recovery
Finding a settled position after shoulder surgery or injury can be challenging, particularly when standard pillows shift during rest. The icare Supporta Rotator Cuff Recovery Pillow is a wedge-shaped positioning aid designed to help reduce shoulder strain and encourage comfortable upper-body alignment. It supports the affected shoulder during rest and sleep, helping create a more secure, consistent recovery position when following clinical advice.
The pillow has an ergonomic wedge design and a removable insert for adjustable depth, allowing the support position to be personalised. Its high-density foam construction offers firm but comfortable stability, while the breathable zip-off cover can be removed and washed for practical hygiene. This dedicated form offers a more consistent alternative to arranging multiple standard pillows, which can move out of position.
Designed for post-operative care and rehabilitation, it can be used in bed, on a recliner or in a lounge chair. It may suit people recovering from rotator cuff repair, shoulder reconstruction, fractures, dislocations or other upper-limb procedures where supported positioning is recommended. For the best configuration, follow the positioning guidance provided by your surgeon, therapist or rehabilitation team.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pillow suitable after rotator cuff surgery?
Yes. It is commonly used during recovery from rotator cuff repair and other shoulder procedures to support comfortable positioning. Always follow your surgeon's or therapist's recommendations about post-operative positioning, because individual recovery requirements and restrictions can differ.
Can it be used for either shoulder?
Yes. The pillow can be positioned to support recovery of either the left or right shoulder. Set it up in the orientation that feels comfortable and aligns with your clinician's advice, particularly if you have a sling or other post-operative support.
Can I use the pillow during the day?
Yes. It can be used while resting in bed, on a recliner or in a lounge chair, providing supported positioning at different times of the day. Use it as part of the recovery approach advised by your treating team rather than as a replacement for their guidance.
Who may use the Rotator Cuff Recovery Pillow?
It may suit people recovering from rotator cuff surgery, shoulder reconstruction, fractures, dislocations or other upper-limb procedures that require supported positioning. A surgeon, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or rehabilitation team can advise whether it is appropriate for your individual situation.
How is it different from ordinary pillows?
Standard pillows can shift or flatten when stacked. This purpose-shaped recovery pillow is designed to provide more stable, consistent support for the upper body and affected shoulder, helping maintain a comfortable rest position rather than relying on loose pillow arrangements.
What size is the pillow?
The existing MoveSmart product information lists the icare Supporta Rotator Cuff Recovery Pillow at 30cm (L) x 20cm (W) x 15cm (H). Check that the dimensions and intended position suit your bed or chair setup before purchase.
Can it be included in post-operative rehabilitation?
Yes. It can provide consistent supported positioning between therapy sessions and during rest, helping users follow an advised recovery position more comfortably. It should be used in line with the recovery protocol set by your surgeon, therapist or rehabilitation provider.
Can it be used with a shoulder sling?
Yes. The pillow is compatible with most post-operative shoulder slings and may add comfort while a sling is worn. Because sling instructions vary by procedure, check with your treating clinician about the correct setup and whether adjustments are appropriate.
How should I clean the cover?
The pillow has a breathable zip-off washable cover. Remove the cover before washing and follow its care instructions to maintain hygiene during recovery. Keep the foam insert dry unless the product care instructions specifically state otherwise.
Is delivery available throughout New Zealand?
Yes. MoveSmart ships nationwide across New Zealand, including for the icare Supporta Rotator Cuff Recovery Pillow. Delivery options and charges are confirmed at checkout, with no specific delivery timeframe, free shipping or fixed delivery price promised.
