At risk of heel pressure ulceration; Requiring heel pressure redistribution; Requiring heel suspension during immobility; Requiring reduction of heel friction and shear; Existing heel ulcers or wounds requiring pressure offloading; Requiring separation or protection of the ankles
High-volume discharging wounds (seek clinical assessment before use)
Universal size
Offloading device that completely suspends the heel. Has two internal foam finishes (convoluted or smooth) and a friction-free exterior surface. Ventilation holes promote air circulation. Three straps hold the forefoot and lower leg in an orthograde position. Can be worn on either the right or left foot. Machine washable. The device is supplied with a forefoot pad, a long calf pad (30cm), a positioning wedge (to counteract external rotation of the leg) and a laundry bag. On the NHS Supply Chain.
Combines advanced technology with practical design to ensure optimal offloading, stability and shock absorption. Engineered to provide unparalleled support and relief, it includes three components that work together seamlessly to offload pressure from sensitive areas, promote healing and provide stability for various postoperative conditions such as foot osteotomies, plantar fasciitis and heel spurs.
