Description
The Heelift Convoluted Suspension Boot removes pressure from the heel. The elevation pad disperses pressure evenly across entire calf. Features smooth tricot fabric covering on the outside for increased patient mobility. Air holes provide optimal ventilation. Secures with two adjustable hook-and-loop straps. The Heelift Convoluted Suspension Boot helps prevent heel ulcers by eliminating heel pressure by lifting the heel with an elevation pad and suspending the heel in protective space. Pressure is transferred from the heel to the lower leg. In pressure ulcer prevention regimens, suspending the heel is appropriate for at risk patients who are immobile, post-operative or suffer from diabetes, cardiovascular disease or dietary deficiencies. This suspension boot is an ideal addition to existing treatment regimens. It can also be used in cases of foot drop, flaccid paralysis (non-spastic), pre and post-operative hip fractures and skin grafts. Heelift Convoluted Suspension Boots are made from soft, firm, medical grade foam with a convoluted design. Original Heelift effectively removes pressure from the heel, preventing heel ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers from forming. Latex-free. Choose convoluted foam for a slightly cooler wearing boot. Boot is non-returnable if packaging is opened. Boot is machine washable if placed in a net laundry bag with the Velcro straps closed and the extra elevation pads removed.
