Pressure sore prevention
Postural Aides
P902T - P904T - P906T Heel pad
Heel pad made of viscoelastic foam with multibearing surface and memory effect
Indications
• Used as prevention, the heel pad to be positioned at the bottom of the bed is particularly well suited to cases of moderate loss of mobility of the lower limbs with a moderate to very high risk of sores forming.
• When used to assist in treatment, this pad enables treatment of the sore in cases of low to normal mobility.
Description
Made of viscoelastic foam with memory effect
• The heel sinks into the memory foam.
• Combined with the curved form of the system, it reduces pressure peaks in the high-risk areas.
Raised sides
• To avoid the lower members slipping off from the pad.
A specific designed curve
• The pressure of the heel area is decreased through a slope creating partial pressure relief.
• The heel pad can be used with partial or complete discharge of pressures.
The length of the pad
• Is great enough to support the knee and avoid the recurvatum attitude (hyper-extension).
The width of the pad
• Enables freedom of movement.
A multibearing surface Combined with the curved form of the system
• Makes it possible to shift the pressure points from the high-risk heel areas to the lower risk zones.
WHITE FOAM: Foam with lower bearing capacity on areas at risk.
BLUE FOAM: Firmer foam with higher bearing capacity for areas at lower risk.
P904T Half-heel pad
• Enables different positions or pressure relief for each lower limb.
P906T Heel pad with abduction wedge
• Reduction of shears and frictions.
Features of the cover
Fabric coated with bi-stretch polyurethane
• Reduces friction and shear effects.
• Supple and soft to the touch (comfortable).
• Favours the exchange of gases (steam, sweat):
- fights against maceration.
• Impermeable material:
- better hygiene,
- longer support system lifespan.
• Washable at 90°C, can be decontaminated using cold sprays.
• Treated to resist fire.
• With a non-slip lower face to help to stay in place.
• In multi-patient use, it is preferable to buy one new cover per patient.
Non-slip lower face
• Helps the system to stay in place.
