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.
Castellated foam replacement mattress with sloped visco elastic foam heel zone providing immersion and pressure redistribution.
Advanced freeform polyurethane foam dressing in aluminised polyethene packaging. The dressing is obtained by mixing two components: polyol (with the addition of nanocrystalline boehmite) and isocyanate. When applied to the wound, the foam mass forms a fine-pored elastic coating of 0.8–1.0cm thickness. The dressing is designed to maintain a moisture-rich environment to provide optimal conditions for wound healing, while managing exudate and reducing the risk of infection. It is intended to promote faster recovery and increased comfort, reducing recovery time, costs and the risk of complications associated with traditional dressings.
Gentle, pH balanced, non-rinse cleanser that protects against moisture-associated skin damage (MASD), as well as moisturising and minimising irritation and dryness of the skin. Breaks down and removes dried bodily fluids like faeces and residue from skin-barrier protectants.
No-sting silicone fluid that forms a transparent protective barrier film. Available as a spray or individually packaged, single-use wipes. The spray can be applied without touching the skin directly and provides 360-degree dispensing with a uniform spray pattern, with environmentally friendly bag-on-valve technology and no sting or cold sensation when applied to the skin.
Long-lasting (up to 24h) waterproof protection from the harmful effects of bodily fluids from moisture-associated skin damage (MASD). The cream moisturises and provides a protective barrier restoring the skin's hydration.
